The Sims 4 Infant Care Guide

Infants are finally here and they’re the best free addition to The Sims 4 since the arrival of toddlers back in 2017. Of course, infants are not nearly as self-sufficient as toddlers and require more of your Sims’ undivided attention and care. Don’t worry, we’re going to walk you through every step in The Sims 4 infant care process! Learn how to satisfy their basic needs and maintain high attachment in our complete infant guide!

This guide covers base game infant care only. Stay tuned for our companion guide covering infant care with Growing Together content!

Welcoming an Infant

To care for an infant, you first need to add one to the household! There are a few different ways you can do this. You can create an infant alongside their family in CAS if you are creating a new household for the first time.

If you want to add an infant to an existing household, you can do this via pregnancy, adoption, or by having a science baby. Infants can be adopted directly through the phone or computer but if you have an infant via pregnancy or science baby, your new baby will start out as a newborn. Newborns are the bassinet babies we were already used to but they’ve had some improvement tweaks. Age your newborn up to get an infant!

Sims 4 Infant Care: Attachment

It might seem odd to discuss something abstract like infant attachment before covering basic needs but it’s important to understand how attachment works, first. How you tend to your infant’s basic needs will form their attachment level. Attachment determines whether your infant grows up to see the world as a good place or not.

Infants are trying to gauge whether this new world they’re a part of is a safe place. Infants who have their needs tended to immediately will feel safe and secure. They’ll learn that the world is good and that they can trust people to help when they need it. However, infants who are neglected will learn the world is not a safe place for them and that other Sims can’t be trusted.

As you can see, everything you do or don’t do with your infants affects their attachment. From feeding to bedtime to playtime and everything in between, your infant is constantly learning from you. Tend to their needs promptly and you’ll teach them to trust others when they grow up. Let them cry for long periods of time and you’ll teach them not to trust people when they get older.

Keep an Eye on Moodlets!

You’ll be able to gauge how your infant’s attachment is developing from their moodlets. If they frequently have positive moodlets from being well cared for, they are likely to grow up with good attachment. If you often see sad moodlets from them feeling neglected, you should pay more attention to your infant if you don’t want them to grow up with bad attachment.

Assuming you’ve been doing a good job at building attachment with your infant, they won’t get sad as quickly when a caregiver doesn’t immediately tend to their needs. They trust from past experiences that someone will come to help them.

Infants will age into toddlers with one of three reward traits:

  • Top Notch Infant: These infants were extremely well cared for. They have a very positive outlook on the world and trust other Sims very easily thanks to that early childhood bond with their caregivers.
  • Happy Infant: These infants formed a good attachment with their caregivers. They see the world as a good place and find it easier to trust other Sims.
  • Unhappy Infant: These infants were neglected and as a result of this neglect, they see the world as a cruel, unforgiving place. They don’t trust that other Sims have good intentions and are highly skeptical of others.

Sims 4 Infant Care: Basic Needs

Now that you understand how attachment works, you’re ready to start building it by caring for your infants’ needs! Infants have all the same basic needs that older Sims do but they need a grown up’s help to do just about everything.

Sleep

As any parent in the real world knows, getting an infant to go to sleep isn’t as easy as just putting them in a crib and walking away. Even if your infant is exhausted, they may have trouble falling asleep without extra assistance. Your infant’s traits also play a part in this. Calm infants will fall asleep quickly but Wiggly infants will need to be coddled until they fall asleep.

When your infant is sleepy and needs a rest, put them in their crib. While the infant is in the crib, new options will appear on them. Your Sim can tell them a bedtime story and soothe them to sleep. If your infant isn’t falling asleep on their own, spend some time doing these interactions with them to help them drift off to dreamland. If you’ve upgraded your infant’s crib to have a mobile, you can make things easier on yourself by playing a lullaby on the mobile. The mobile’s music will lull any infant right to sleep.

Infants don’t just need sleep when they’re tired, though! They need regular naps throughout the day. You’ll know your infant needs a nap when they have a sad moodlet informing you that they’ve been awake for too long. Click on the infant and select Give a Nap to let your infant take a little snooze in their caregiver’s arms.

Feeding

Of course, it’s important to feed your infant. That should go without saying. The quickest and easiest way to feed an infant is by bottle feeding or breastfeeding them. Click on your infant and set your feeding preference. The feeding preference applies to all Sims in the house; if you set the feeding preference to breastfeeding, all Sims who can produce milk will always choose to breastfeed the infant. Make sure any Sim you don’t want to breastfeed cannot produce milk in their CAS settings.

Breastfeeding or bottle feeding will quickly solve your infant’s hunger but you miss out on an opportunity for bonding and exploration with your infant. Your infant will have a more enriching feeding experience if you try new foods with them in a high chair. Click on a high chair to try new foods with your infant!

You’ll see a menu displaying a number of mashed baby foods to choose from. The menu keeps track of which foods your infant has tried and whether or not they liked those foods. Needless to say, once you’ve tried all the foods with your infant, it’s best to stick to the foods they like. Trying new foods together is a great way for your infant to explore new tastes and textures while bonding with their caregiver.

Depending on your infant’s traits, they may be more or less receptive to new foods. Cautious infants might need to try a new food several times before they decide if they like it, for example.

Hygiene

Of course, infants are messy. They soil their diapers, they smear food all over their faces, they drool all over themselves. They’re kind of… well, gross. You can help make them less gross by changing their diapers and giving them baths often.

If you’re looking for changing tables for your infant, don’t bother. Changing tables are not part of the infant base game update. They are exclusive to the Growing Together expansion pack, which was an odd choice. You would think changing tables would be an essential infant care item worth putting in The Sims 4 base game, but oh well. That doesn’t mean you can’t change your infant’s diaper, however. Just click your infant and under Infant Care, you’ll see the option to change their diaper. No changing table required.

But diaper changes alone aren’t enough to keep your infants clean. They require regular baths. Thankfully, it’s not too different from bathing a toddler. The only real difference is that the infant sits in a little baby bath seat in the tub during baths. Caregivers can give infants regular baths or bubble baths just like toddlers. The animation is very cute and a good bonding opportunity between caregiver and infant.

Play

Additionally, infants need plenty of play time! Fun is also one of their motives that needs to be maintained. Infants can play with any of the toy box toys that toddlers and children can play with. They can also interact with the toddler blocks. Also, there are a few new infant sensory toys available in Build/Buy.

Set an infant on the ground and let them crawl around and explore with their toys. You can give yourself peace of mind by using the new baby fence to contain them inside a play area. The fence is located with all the other fencing and works exactly like a regular fence but you can click on the gate to apply baby proofing to it. In fact, you can apply baby proofing to any fence gate now.

Beware! Baby proofing is infant-proof but not always toddler-proof! A determined toddler can try to break out of their play prison!

Love

Sometimes, infants will just be angry or sad for no reason. They’re infants. They don’t understand how emotions work, yet. It’s not uncommon for an infant to wake up from a nap feeling angry just because! In cases like this, all they really need is love.

Caregivers can bounce an infant, cuddle them, and comfort them at any time. These interactions are helpful for soothing an infant who is fussing for no good reason. If you’ve met all your infant’s basic needs but they are still screaming or crying, these interactions calm them faster. Infants who are comforted or cuddled during one of these random bouts of grumpiness build a strong attachment with their caregiver, so don’t ignore them when they’re pitching a fit for no reason!

Baby and Toddler Mods | Sarah Smiles

Babies
1.) Baby Intercom– Place in the rooms where you want your Sims to be able to hear their child crying from.
2.) Bottomless Bottle #1 – This one is BO’s version which is a upgraded version of Sim Logical’s.
3.) Bottomless Bottle #2–  This Version is similar to BO’s with slight variants. Check out both descriptions to see which one you like best.
4.) No Lecturing Babies for Soiled Diapers This does conflict with Pescado’s “antibabylecture” but this one is slightly more extensive
5.) Baby Monitor– The baby monitor consists of one transmitter that you put in the nursery, and a receiver that you put in the parents room. If turned on, the receiver will wake up parents if the baby wakes up and starts screaming. As per Inge’s original code, there’s only one channel so if you have multiple objects placed on the lot all receivers will react to sound from any transmitter you’ve placed. So if you have more than one nursery, you can put a transmitter in each one and both of them will send signals to the one receiver you’ve placed elsewhere. The baby monitor has a pie menu option that if selected brings up a dialog listing the exact motives of the chosen baby.
6.) Buy/Sell Infants/Toddlers–  Found in Decorative Statues for $50, the Cenotaph of the Tribal Covenant can be only be placed on the ground. Sims can approach it, grab the left horn, and then blow the horn to summon Gunk (NPC) to the lot.
7.)Baby Last Name Chooser-Now you’ll get an additional dialog per baby asking whose last name they should take! Compatible with Birth Options if it loads last.
8.) Less Autonomy Baby Care– This patch reduces the Sims’ obsession with their babies and toddlers. It will override parts of the code of Maxis original bathtubs, fridges, cribs and sinks.

Breast Feeding and Bottles
1.) Breastfeeding. Squinge has a version of this but BO’s version removes autonomous actions.
2.) Breastfeeding 2.0 You NEED To have either BO (the link above) or Squinge’s mod for this to work but it adds a few extra realistic features to it.
3.) No Smart Milk Drag– Sims will not drag a toddler or even attempt to feed a smart milk bottle to a toddler. They will just make it and drop it on the floor. You can have them make all of the bottles at once without ever bothering the toddler and stuff them in its inventory for future use. Conflicts with Pescado’s nosmartmilkdrag obviously. It’s a different take on the exact same problem.
4.) Self-Exploding Bottles– Baby bottles (regular and smart) that are spoiled or empty will simply go poof.
5.) Move Away From Fridge Before Feeding Baby– This mod makes sims move away from the fridge before feeding the baby a bottle.
6.) Bottomless Feeding Bottle-T his is buyable baby’s feeding bottle that is to be found under Childcare, All. Not only does it stay full at all times, but it also checks for and deletes any normal bottles that have been allowed to lie around and get spoilt.

Cribs, Sleeping and Clothing
1.) Crib Fix– Lets everyone know if a Baby/Toddler is already in a crib not to move them into another one.
2.) Crib Get Out– Lets toddlers get out of cribs themselves if they want to leave.
3.) Toddler Sleep Through the Night– After 8pm your toddler is out for the night unless extremely hungry.
4.) Dress toddlers correctly too!– In the game, you change a toddler’s diaper or bathe a toddler, they will be redressed in whatever they were previously wearing prior to that action. This mod will alter that clothing change to be time based. If it is after 7am the toddler will be dressed in everyday clothes. If it is before 7am or after 8pm the toddler will be dressed in PJs.
5.) Plumbob Crib Mobile– It only has the one color, plum bob green. It is found in General/Child for 50 simoleons. It spins, glows, and plays music (London Bridge) with an on and off for each one individually. The spinning and glowing stay on until you turn it off. Well, the music does too, but the song runs out after about 2.5 in game hours, so you have to turn it off and back on again if you want to actually hear it.
6.) FreeTime Cribs– Missing railing morphs have been added so animations don’t look as weird with arms going through the cribs.
7.) Toddler Bath Clothes– Toddlers will always be put in everyday clothes after a bath.
8.) Reservable Crib– Works on a similar principle to the reservable beds. Choose a child from the menu to assign it to.

Fixes
1. ) P’s Baby Controller Tweaked– Changes Pescado’s Baby Controller from a giant eyeball to a big teddybear.

Hygiene For Babies and Toddlers
1.) Toddlers Fun Gain While Taking A Bath– This mod allows toddlers to gain fun while they are taking a bath. This mod won’t work with custom tubs.

Playtime and Interactions
1.) Toddler Spring Rider Skill Gain Enabled– This mod allow toddlers to gain body skill, fitness, & enthusiasm while playing on the Bouncy Bork Spring Rider.
2.) No Autonomous Peekaboo– This mod curbs the autonomous behavior of older Sims (children and up) wanting to play Peekaboo with toddlers, but the Sims can still be directed to play Peekaboo with the toddlers.
3.) Fewer Peekaboo Pests– Sims are less likely to constantly harass toddlers with peekaboo requests. Sims won’t autonomously try for peekaboo if the toddler is already doing something.
4.) Pick Another Toy for Toddlers if a current toy is in use instead of one toddler waiting to use that toy, they will move on to another
5. ) Toddler Smustle– Baby New Year’s smustle now as an option for normal toddlers! Non-autonomous and only enabled for toddlers who know how to walk for the obvious reasons.

Potties
1.) No Empty Toddler Potty– This only works on the game version. CC is not effected.
2.) Toddler Play with Toilets Fix– Fixes interaction so it works as intended. Toddlers will only play in toilets if in a bad mood or aspiration failure.
3.) Toddler Potty Fixes– Maid can now clean potty. Adults can now potty train even if potty is dirty. Toddlers will not stop going if another interaction is queued. Fixing annoying delay at the end of potty training.
4.) Empty Maxis Potty Chairs using a bin– Looks for a trash can instead of a toilet.

Skill Building and Reading
1.) No Autonomous Ask To Be Read To– This mod stomps the autonomous behavior of both toddlers and children when they go pester their older siblings, relatives and parents to read a book to them. The mod does not nerf the option to ask to be read to.
2.) Teach Toddler Nursery Rhyme Fun– This mod boosts the Sims’ (both Sim teaching and toddler learning) Fun and Social motives while the Sim is teaching the nursery rhyme to the toddler.
3.) Skill Limiting for Kids and Toddlers– With these mods in your Downloads folder, kids and toddlers will not be able to increase their skill level beyond a certain point while using the item which has been modified.  For example, your sim child will not be able to gain creativity from the easel or the piano beyond a certain level, but can still use the violin.
4.) Lower Priority Activity Table– Toddlers will always stop if something else is queued and added a check in the ‘snuggle’ interaction so the adult will at least go to the toddler and try to wait instead of giving up and letting it drop from queue immediately.
5.) No Autonomy Read To– Similar to Insim’s on #1 on this list. Stops adults deciding to read to children autonomously. But allows a child to ask to be read to.

Toddlers
1.) Less Toddler Annoyance – Seems to be really handy for toddlers. For example, no asking for food or attention if they haven’t learned to talk. No one will bother a toddler if they are already doing something or interacting with another Sim already.
3.) No Baby/Toddler Swarming– My take on Pescado’s nobabyharassment. Two Jeff’s version allows autonomous interaction, but within limits. It also includes some interactions that his doesn’t. Will prevent the entire family from swarming to a baby or toddler to put it to bed, play with it, etc. See Readme for full details.
5.) Functioning Toddler Playpen– Last updated in 2005 but may still be functional.
6.) Sandpit/sandpile for toddlers–  A pile of sand! Excellent for the construction of sandpits (use a sandy ground colour and a low fence) or beach fronts (sandy ground colour and water), these sandpits come with a “play” option for toddlers only. The sandpile raises fun and decreases hygene in our not-quite-littlest sims.
7.) Kiddie Pool– This is a simple little one-tile kiddie splash pool. It has the following main features:
– Toddlers can play around and splash in it
– Children can jump and kick in the water
8.) Little ones can use Spiral Stairs– It can be used by puppies, kittens And toddlers. All of them will use existing animations from one age up, that is, toddlers use children animations and puppies and kittens use the animations for small dogs and cats respectively.
9.) Only Bathe Toddlers with Low Hygiene– Your toddlers need to have under 50% hygiene in order to be able to be bathed.
11) Spring Rider Mod– Allows toddlers to get on without an adult to get on the spring toy, and added the ability for toddlers to gain body skills, only when they get on the toy themselves.  They will not gain skills if an adult places the toddlers on it.   Toddlers are able to get on the spring toy autonomously, for fun needs.
12.) Becks Get On Mod Updated + Custom Spring riders -This is an updated version of Rebecah’s global mod, with some annoyance-fixes.
13.) Fireproof Toddlers– Toddlers can no longer die from fire.
14.) Toddler Poses– This mod allows you to have toddlers do all of the animations listed below: Cough, Burp, Wiggle, Kick, Fall Down, Look Around, Stand, Chew Hand, Grab Feet, Pick Nose, Cry Bawl, Cry Sob, Laugh Giggle, Tantrum Intense, Throw Up, Whine Strong, Whine Medium, Dance Arm Reach, Dance Double Bounce, Dance Head Bang Intense, Dance Head Bang Light, Dance Side to Side Wobble, Weep Hard, Weep Soft, Run, Portrait Pose Slots 1 – 8, Tease, Twirl & Wobble Spin Fail, Play Dolls Violent, Cry Loop Suck Breath, Cry Weep Hard Standing, Chase Butterflies, Small Cough 1, Small Cough 2, Small Sneeze 1, & Small Sneeze 2.
15.) Little ones can use Spiral Stairs– Toddlers and pets can now use spiral stairs

Need to Be Organized
1.) Accessible toddler high chairs– This global mod allows sims to access any high chair from left and right sides and also access diagonally placed highchairs. Custom chairs work as well.
2.) Slower Bladder Decay & Selectable Babies– This mod slows down bladder decay for babies & toddlers, it also makes babies selectable.
3.) Toddlers Stop Eating Pet’s Food– This mod prevents toddlers from autonomously eating from the pets food dish.
4.) Intercom Baby Alarm– The smaller object (which is meant to be a CD Rom in case you couldn’t recognize it from the picture) is the transmitter, and you place that in the nursery, or any room that you’d like your Sims to be able to detect sound from. It’s best to hide it under some furniture as it can’t be walked over in all circumstances. The larger object goes on the wall of the room where you want the Sims to be alerted, e.g. the parents’ bedroom. It has an on and off setting in case they want a lie in some mornings while another Sim has their receiver on instead. You can use as many transmitters and receivers as you like, and in this version they all share the same “channel”. This also contains a small global hack, to the BHAV “Wake – everyone in room”, which theoretically could clash with another person’s hack that includes that BHAV. A clash could be a nuisance and stop one of the hacks working, but should not destroy any data.

Parenting in The Sims 3 and add-ons

Raising a child is a complex but interesting science that requires attention and responsibility. Already from the first days of pregnancy, the expectant mother should begin to take care of the baby. If the pregnancy was easy, the mother observed the regimen and took care of her health, at the birth of the baby, the game will allow you to choose 2 character traits for the newborn. If the mother was not very attentive to herself, then you can choose only one character trait for the baby, or even get generated by the game. The same rule applies further - the better you take care of the baby, the more likely it is at each stage of growing up (excluding the transition from baby to toddler) to get the opportunity to shape the character of the child in accordance with your wishes.

Let's take the example of loving and caring parents and take a closer look at the growing up of a child from a baby to a teenager. This interval includes 3 stages: a baby, a slider and a primary school student.

School for parents-to-be

So, if you decide to have a baby or two for your Sims, then the first thing you need to do is to allocate and furnish a room for the kids. You can decorate the children's space completely to your taste, but there are a few things that you simply cannot do without.

Cot . For toddler/toddler age, you need a playpen. When the toddler is old enough to go to school, you will need an adult bed, just like any of your Sims. However, in addition " Sims 3 All Ages " especially for your fidgets appeared bunk beds - the dream of every child!

Pot . Despite the fact that babies use only diapers, and schoolchildren already use adult plumbing, a potty is simply a necessary thing for sliders.

Feeding chair . Again, it is used only by sliders, since babies eat from the nipple in adults in their arms, and schoolchildren are already sitting at the table quite independently. In fact, you can feed a slider by simply putting him on the floor and giving out a bottle, but in this case, after an hour or two, a child’s cry will tell you that the younger generation is hungry again. The feeding chair gives the baby a greater sense of fullness and variety in the menu: in addition to the bottle, a plate of porridge is also available here.

Toys . Your baby begins to be interested in toys from a toddler age. It is possible to conditionally distinguish three categories of toys:
educational, ordinary and specific toys. Let's take a closer look at these categories:

• Educational toys include xylophone, (music skill) and puzzle (logic skill). For older children, the game of cubes (mechanics) becomes useful, and a toy stove also becomes available. To develop the skill you want, just let the baby play with the chosen toy for a while. With their help, the baby will be able to increase his level of development by 3 steps, and besides, he will also get a lot of fun. By the way, adults can also join the children's game of blocks or the xylophone, helping the child to improve.

• Ordinary toys are not particularly remarkable - bunnies, boats ... They can be bought individually or as a whole chest of children's treasures, in which the little ones like to hide from adults. It is also worth noting that if one of the adult family members has developed the skill of inventing, then he can make original toys on the workbench for Simenka (the addition “ Sims 3 Career ” is required).


• Specific toys include imaginary friends that were introduced with the The Sims 3 All Ages expansion pack. This toy is given immediately after the birth of the baby by some distant relative, sending it by mail. Take the parcel out of the box, and an unusual doll will appear in your child's inventory, which can turn into a true friend of a Simenka, and over time, maybe something more.

Children's books . Books are another thing for Simenok's entertainment and spending time together with adults. Starting from toddler age, the baby can read a book by himself (you need to put it on the floor) or with adults. Toddlers who can talk can ask to read a bedtime story. In addition to fairy tales, the game also provides educational books. Such as "Patterns from the palms", "Secrets of drawing with fingers" and "Funny pictures" - serve to develop the skill of drawing. A series of books "The Basics of Books", "Mom washed the frame" and "Where I was, what I wrote" - develop the skill of writing. "Squares and Triangles", "Why It's Good to Be Smart" and "Counting Rules for Beginners" - for additional development of the logic skill (after studying this series of books and cubes, the kid will start learning logic from the 4th level in the future).

Home Alone . An important point is that toddlers and toddlers should not be left at home alone. If, for any reason, all adults must leave the house (for example, to leave for work), call a babysitter. Play babysitter will play with the baby, change diapers and even feed if necessary. But the babysitter comes only for a limited time. Another way out of the situation, however, only for wealthy Sims, is the butler (if you have the addon " Sims 3 At dusk "). An adult permanently residing in the house will look after the kids, and sometimes he can even play or read a bedtime story.

Let's assume that you have learned the course of "young parents" and decided what future fate you are going to arrange for your baby. Let's now take a closer look at all the stages of growing up, starting with the baby. The duration of each age in game time depends entirely on the lifespan configured in your game.

Babies: day and night

Age from birth to first birthday. The kid does not yet make any conscious actions. All his desires are aimed at satisfying the basic needs - sleep, food, communication and cleanliness. The main problem for parents will be that the baby, although sleeping almost all the time, wakes up and requires attention every few game hours. So get ready to get up in the middle of the night and take turns running to the crib.


Romper: young fighter course

No new character traits are provided for when moving into this age category. But the baby becomes more mobile and inquisitive. In addition to simple tasks, such as feeding or changing a diaper, there are new opportunities to play with the baby, for example, scare him with “clawed paws” or “tickle”. As mentioned above, it is better to feed the Simenka at this stage of growing up on a special chair. But most importantly, parents have the opportunity to instill in their offspring the skills necessary for adulthood - the ability to walk, talk and use the potty. I must say that these 3 skills are mandatory for mastering for successful growing up. If you want to be able to choose the character trait of a Simenka to your liking when you go to school age, then stock up on the patience and free time of older Sims.

• Potty training is the easiest to learn. It only takes a well-rested and well-fed child, who needs to be put on the potty several times in a row. Usually, by 4-5 times, the baby understands all the advantages of using this hygiene item, and the skill is successfully mastered. Now, he himself will go to the potty whenever possible. But this does not mean that you are spared the need to change your baby's diapers, just now you will do this several times less often.


• Trying to teach your baby to walk can take several game days, but the result will allow the child to finally stomp his feet. The first step is always so touching!

• The ability to speak is also not easy for a baby. I would even say that this is the most time-consuming skill. It will require the patience of both teacher and student. After mastering this skill, your baby will be able to tell a lot of interesting things. Communicate on health!


Also, it is at the crawling age that all the foundations of the additional skills mentioned above are laid - logic, drawing and music.

Primary schoolchildren: war and peace in your home

In addition to the grown-up children, a planned rearrangement of furniture awaits you. Baby cribs should be replaced with full-fledged ones, a desk should be added, and space should be freed up by giving neighbors unnecessary toys.


To some extent, parents can breathe easier. Now the baby will take food from the refrigerator on his own, eat and wash his plate, go to the bathroom and toilet himself, and can even stay at home unattended ... But he has become a schoolboy, which means daily study and homework.

It is important to make sure that the child goes to school on time and in a good mood, and after school he does not forget to do his homework properly. Some kids cope with it on their own, but with those guys who are not distinguished by diligence and diligence, it is better to deal with it especially - parents can tell their child to go do homework, or even help with homework.

Diligent study soon makes itself felt, and after several fives in a row, the student enters the list of honor, delighting both yourself and your parents, and you can choose one more character trait when moving to the next age category. By default, the game enrolls a Simenka in a public city school. But, if you wish, you can send the young talent to some boarding school with a specific focus (artistic, musical, military, etc.), and forget about it for a while.

In addition to homework, the community school provides an opportunity for extra-curricular activities for kids - the Ballet Circle, which develops acrobatic and dance skills, and the Scout Circle, which further develops gardening and fishing skills. Also, your child can visit many interesting places with a school excursion, which will help him decide on his future work activity.

However, extra-curricular activities do not replace skills development at home. Schoolchildren may well continue to master logic with the help of a telescope or chess and begin to draw, developing the skills already laid down. There are also new opportunities. The game of cubes will now bring not only joy, but also benefits, laying the foundations of knowledge of mechanics.


If you buy a toy stove, the future chef will develop his cooking skill by baking cakes. He can not only refresh himself and treat the whole family, but even sell his little cupcakes to neighbors (if there is a trading table).

Also, you can purchase Lab Table (requires add-on " The Sims 3 All Ages ") to learn potions and give your kid the opportunity to experiment, at the same time, again, developing logic. Or buy the Inventor's Workbench (requires the The Sims 3 Career add-on), and your child will develop the skill of inventing by creating various toys and gadgets out of junk.


At this age, the child can already fish.
Another aspect of growing up is the child's desire to be alone sometimes. The Treehouse will help him in this (requires the addon " The Sims 3 All Ages "). Your sibling will be able to play there, arrange imaginary balls, and fight off uninvited guests, even if they are parents... At times, your baby will want to plant a paint mine in your shampoo in the shower or shove a farting pillow in your chair (requires addon " The Sims 3 All ages "). Needless to say, the consequences of these pranks will be unexpected and “slightly unpleasant” for adults?

The game gives parents the opportunity to deal with this - the tomboy can be punished. For starters, the child can be loaded with housework, for example, forced to take out the trash. But if this does not help, the last option remains - “In the corner, young man! IMMEDIATELY!". And your offspring, plaintively squelching his nose, goes to the corner.

After a while, it is worth forgiving the naughty one, changing anger to mercy, maybe then there will be silence and order in the house for a while. .. In addition to pranks, sometimes a simonka wants to skip school. Maybe he didn’t get enough sleep, maybe he just doesn’t want to, it doesn’t matter, your task is to follow up on timely attendance at school and stop attempts at absenteeism with all parental severity. But you shouldn’t worry that the baby will go out somewhere and stay on the street until late – before the curfew, the baby will definitely go home, wherever he is.

That's probably all. We told you the main aspects of raising a child until adolescence. The recipe is simple - love your baby, be attentive and caring, and he will answer you the same.

You can discuss the review and tell about your experience in raising sims in this forum thread.
