Maxis is not making Sims 3...


A agree about both breastfeeding and co-sleep. The reason why so many mother's choose to sleep with their child, is because then they'll be more adept at noticing if something is wrong. Japan has the lowest count of infancy death in the world, because there all mother's sleep with their infants. If the child is choking, if it gets too hot or too cold, the mother will notice and wake up, and hence stop disasters from happening.

I'd also like to see sims of all ages being able to share a bed regardless of relationship. This whole "I'm mad at you so I won't sleep in your bed"-thing is just annoying. They do in real life, so why not sims?

As for breast feeding, I think it should be possible. Also, to expand on GoldenPrinces's idea, I think they should just automatically put the bottle back in the fridge after feeding the baby.

Lol, when the inventory arrived in The Sims 2, I started putting bottles in my sims' inventories if there was more left. Seems like such a waste to leave it on the floor to go bad...

ype im not sure about the co-sleeping, maybe if it could be for toddler and kids but with co-sleeping with babies, people have aculy killed their babies while sleeping with them because the roll over and squash them and stuff but co-sleeping with kids and toddler sounds good

No to both of those ideas.

Okay, my mum slept with me when I was a baby, so I agree with that. But still, how are fomula and cribs things from the 60's? That's very opinionated. Hey, I don't know much about how mothers minds work, but I'm pretty sure most mothers bottle feed, or at least breast feed and bottle feed. And cribs, probably most mothers leave the baby in the crib, too. Most mothers are too scared to sleep with the baby incase they crush the baby or something (although admitedly, the chances of that are extremely slim, extincts to not crush the baby are too strong - it's like when you're in bed. How many of you fall out of bed at night? Lol, not many of you, and it's the same with sleeping with the baby). But anyway, yes, I'm going on and on lol.. : ;D

sure sleeping with the baby is ok i guess.

but i'd imagine that BREAST feeding would be a little too provocative for the sims.

[jessimica:)]

yeh i like the breast feeding idea and if they just thow a towel over their shoulder, you dont have to see anythin. also if they had better bottles ( that they dont just leave on the floor lol ) because that way other people could feed the baby, not just the mother 

[ChalyssaMuch]

breastfeeding would be a cool addition i agree =]

[peachpie937]

i like both ideas but obviously some people dont
what about baby monitors?
because some people dont believe the baby should even sleep in the same room with the parents
but if you have baby monitors then your sim will wake up when the baby starts crying

[simsfreak287]

I think breastfeeding with blurring would be fine
and I would like baby moniters....
I mean whats wrong with breastfeeding if
you can't see anything??
