Simmers can begin enjoying all that Infants have to offer by adopting one, letting nature take its course in your Sims favourite WooHoo spot, Science Baby, which lets Sims use genetic material for a new baby, or beginning the customization process on Create-a-Sim. There will be plenty to tweak and try on since this is the first time in The Sims’ franchise that a character this young has this level of customization. Starting from adorable little baby outfits to unique hairstyles and choosing six special traits for your dream Sim baby.

To give it a touch of real-life experience, the Infants will be able to express their needs, emotions, and sentiments, and family members of all ages can care for them and watch the baby grow. The little Sim will start to crawl and can also get up to mischief by exploring common household objects, well thanks to the new baby lock feature, Simmers can control all the gates and doors around the household and even installed a cute baby fence to keep the adorable young one in a safe environment.

In terms of interactions, Simmers can discover new ways of engaging and caring for the little ones through the Changing Station and Infant Playmat.
