Infants Overview
Infants came as a free update on 14/03/2023, this is a life stage between baby and toddlers and adds new interactions, new objects and a little more family play to the game, giving a much more realistic aging process. These infants act like babies who are learning to crawl rather than having a baby which jumps out a crib and starts walking around.
Infants do come with traits, however there are no skills to build or aspirations.
To Get an infant you can either, call the adoption agency or age up a baby.
Traits ~ Calm, Cautious, intense, sensitive, sunny and wiggly. These are the 6 traits that come with the Infants and will define how your infant interacts with everything around them.

Needs
- Bladder ~ Infants will use their diaper to go toilet, they cannot use a potty.
- Hunger ~ Infants have new animations for the high chair, as they now get fed, ‘help bob try first baby food’ is now the option on the high chair. this will then bring a menu up of different food that will also tell you if they have tried the food before.
- Energy ~ Infants now have their own cribs, there is one portable one for when your sims go on vacations. they can be read to sleep, soothed to sleep or left to fall asleep on their own.
