Sims 4 Infants update: When is the infants update & what will it change?
Bad babies made better.
The Sims 4 has had a problem with babies ever since it first released. At long last, EA has finally delivered. The Sims 4 infants update is here today and it brings with it vital upgrades on the early life stages in the game.
Previously, a baby in The Sims 4 was no more than an object, something you couldn't interact with until they reached their second life stage: Toddler. Now, thanks to the update, the brand-new infant life stage has been introduced.

What does the Infants update change in The Sims 4?
Following the infants update, babies in The Sims 4 will no longer be confined to their bassinets and will now move around. This means that babies will count as people in The Sims 4 following the update, not mere objects.
The brand new infant life stage is the second in the game, and The Sims 4 is finally making the most of those early years. Remember they will be a baby/newborn before being an infant!
You will be able to fully interact with infants in The Sims 4 following the update. You can pick them up, feed and breastfeed them, play with them, and even bathe them. Inanimate objects, these infants are most certainly not.
Even better, infants are fully customisable in Create a Sim. There are a load of clothing options to go along with the more detailed character creator tool, which includes birthmarks and Traits. The infant traits are Calm, Cautious, Intense, Sensitive, Sunny, and Wiggly.
Following the update, you can also make 'Science Babies'. These Science Babies mean any Sim of any gender or sexuality can have a baby. Be warned, there will be no waiting period for Science Babies, they arrive right away.
