Babies - The Sims 3 Guide

Skip to main content

Baby Sims cannot be created in Create-A-Sim, but instead are the result of a male Sim and a female Sim choosing the Try for Baby option while on a bed. In rare cases (less rare if a parent Sim has Fertility Treatment), WooHoo itself will result in a baby. A baby becomes a toddler after three Sim days. If desired, an adult Sim can call the adoption service to put the baby up for adoption. Pregnancy will be covered in a separate article.

    • Baby Needs

    As with adult Sims, baby Sims have needs. Here is a list of how to satisfy those needs:

    • Hunger - An adult Sim must bottle-feed a hungry baby.
    • Social - An adult Sim must talk to, snuggle, or interact in other ways with the baby. Putting a teddy bear into the baby's crib might also help.
    • Hygiene - An adult Sim must change a baby's dirty diaper.
    • Energy - A tired baby will automatically fall asleep. The player can't make the baby go to sleep, but the player can have an adult Sim wake him or her up.
    • Bladder - The baby will automatically relieve itself when its bladder meter gets too low. The player has no control over when the baby wets itself. This will drain the baby's hygiene meter, so be sure to have an adult Sim change the diaper afterward.

    Taking care of baby

    At least one adult Sim must be on a lot with a baby. If all adults attempt to leave the lot, the game will force you to either stay or call a babysitter for §75. Babies can only sleep in cribs, not beds, so be sure to get one. Don't let your baby's social meter get too low, or it will get a negative Lonely moodlet. Be careful to tend to your baby's needs before your adult Sims go to bed, because otherwise, the baby might wake up and start crying in the middle of the night, disrupting your adult Sims' sleep (the crying is likely to wake adults even if they are in a different room. )

    and 10 more

    A food processor is a small appliance found in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3. In the former two games, it costs §220, and will speed preparation and add hunger value to food when used.

    The Sims[]

    In The Sims, it's known as the XLR8R Food Processor, and is considered to be the best in food preparation service. It replaces preparation space in any food-preparation route that would otherwise use free prep space, and speeds up prep time and adds +3 to the hunger value of the prepared food. It is not a true cooking appliance like a stove or microwave.

    XLR8R Food Processor[]

    Part of the Intelli-kitchen total food prep system, the XLR8R accelerates food delivery time...AND taste. The low-cost, high-precision pulse-echo radar blades enable invariable food chunk tolerances by combining digital logic with microwave techniques. Sealed housing. Quick lock lid. Finger Shield. Idi-Pruuf control panel.


    Required pack(s): none
    Hunger: 3
    Note: Must be placed on a counter

    The Sims 2[]

    In The Sims 2, it's been upgraded to the XLR8R2. FreeTime added the Frugal Fruitlover's Friend, which appears similar to the XLR8R2, but sells for less (§180 instead of §220). Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff added the Carrot Chopper Deluxe, which is slightly more expensive (§260 instead of §220).

    A food processor will be used whenever food needs to be chopped, but will not be used at other times. There are food preparation surfaces that are slightly better than a food processor, but food processors still have advantages. They speed preparation of food that needs to be chopped, especially for Sims with lower Cooking skill. Using a food processor keeps the counter it sits on clean, even when used by a sloppy Sim. Also, it appears that food processors don't need to be cleaned.

    XLR8R2 Food Processor[]

    Even if you can't manage crackers and cheese, the XLR8R2 Food Processor gives your kitchen some class. It's got chrome, interchangeable blades, finger-inlay, dance-digit, speed-sensitive buttons, and the LOOK that says, "Back off! I'm Expensive!" Guaranteed to improve your dining pleasure.


    Required pack(s): none
    Hunger: 2
    Available colors: White
    Note: Must be placed on a counter

    Frugal Fruitlover's Friend[]

    Blazing blades blink blithely, blasting blushing blackberry blobs. Frigid fruit fragments frolic freely. Blunt bland blocks blow blustering blizzards, frail frozen freight frequently fracturing from frantic friction. Fragrant frosty fray friskily frothing, blissful blue blur blankets blender.


    Required pack(s): FreeTime
    Hunger: 2
    Available colors: Stainless Steel, Red, Blue, Green
    Note: Must be placed on a counter

    Carrot Chopper Deluxe[]

    Small, stealthy, and superb at its job - what your boss may never say about you, you can at least say about the Carrot Chopper Deluxe. With multiple blades of fury and one speed setting - Chop - this diminuitve-looking processor can dish out pain to most fruits and vegetables, but especially to carrots. It really hates carrots.


    Required pack(s): Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff
    Hunger: 2
    Available colors: Black, Beige, Orange, White, Brown, Yellow, Peach
    Note: Must be placed on a counter

    The Sims 3[]

    In The Sims 3, food processors can also be used to make baby food out of leftovers. Sims can get one food processor for free through the culinary career.

    However, unlike in The Sims 2, the counter on which the food processor is placed needs to be cleaned after several uses of the food processor. The player does not need to use buy mode to move the food processor when the countertop needs cleaning; the Sim will make it temporarily disappear while cleaning the countertop.

    Ingredient Eviscerator 235X[]

    If it can be consumed, we want to process it. Nothing is safe! The Ingredient Eviscerator 235X is devastating to veggies, meats and soy products, yet wondrous for Sim stomachs. Useful for many recipes, this is an awesome device every kitchen needs.

    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.
