Babies FAQ

Q: How can my Sims have a baby? 

A: Once your Sims are married, you can purchase a crib for their home from the Home Store.

Tap the "+Sim" icon over the crib to create a baby. Once the timer has finished, you’ll be able to tap the crib again to customize your new baby Sim. 

If you don't have the "+Sim" icon available, check that you haven't already reached the maximum number of Sims for your level. 

If you have, you can remove an existing Sim from the Edit Sim menu (available through the Dresser/Wardrobe action).

Q: How do I get the baby bladder meter back up? Changing the baby's diaper only improves its cleanliness. 

A: There is no action to bring the baby's bladder meter back up.

When the bladder meter runs low, the baby will dirty its diaper. When this happens, its bladder meter will fill and their hygiene meter will go down. You can then change the baby's diaper to increase its hygiene meter.

Q: What Hobbies can my Baby participate in?

A: Unfortunately babies are not able to participate in any hobbies. For a full list of hobbies, check out our Hobbies FAQ.

Q: What does the "feet" symbol mean?

A: This symbol (below) indicates that your Sim is not able to get to the item that you're asking it to use.

You will need to try moving the item out of a corner, or rotating it in a different direction in Build Mode to make sure that the Sim has enough room to access the item in order to use it.

Q: What does the "no" symbol mean?

A: This symbol (below) indicates that your Sim is not able to use the item that you have selected.

This error will usually occurr if your Sim is not the correct age to use that particular item. Try checking which tab the item can be found in. If it's usually in a tab of the Home Store for a specifc age group, your Sim will need to be that age to use the item.

Q: Where can I find items specifically for my baby?

A: In the "Baby" tab of the Home Store.

Q: How do I make my baby grow or age? 

A: For more information on aging Sims, please have a look at our Aging & Life Cycle FAQ.
