Does anyone else find it weird how making the toddler interact with a tablet is considered an important parenting milestone in the sims? Lol

For me, the infants are only fun with Growing Together. Growing Together adds development with the infants so you help them learn to roll over, hold their heads up, sit up and then stand. Without Growing together, they already know how to do all this

Couldn't help but think "missed opportunity to name the daughter Maple" lol. 🥞 Appreciate that you consider what the sim would want or do in your mind and interpretation of them and their personality. I like to try to play that way too.

If they removed newborns it would have broken everyone saves. I'm pretty sure they literally could NOT remove them. I think this is an ok compromise. Infants are FAR more detailed (fun IMO) with Growing Together.

Having you back feels like a fever dream❤ any chances to check how no date Nate and trashy are? Miss the random legacy challenge. Love you Cindy it hurts❤❤❤❤

Also about the third want, you did mention you never left the lot. That's one of the main reason why you don't get them. The third want is a situation want, so for example if he is dirty he gets the want to clean himself but if you go to a bar, the third want is to buy drink or dance, if you go to the library the third want is to read or browse in the computer

Cindy, I’m glad you’re back. Your makeup and hair look great. You look happy. I hope you are doing well. I’ll check out sims 4 again soon 🤣

I'm not going to lie, it's so great to see someone enjoy the infants just as the little blobs they are without the extra stuff of Growing Together, as I feel like when I played with an infant for like a day when the update first came, I got soooo disappointed at the lack of stuff you can do with them. I'm so glad you're enjoying them Cindy!

As a family gameplay person, I absolutely love infants! They’re so much fun with growing together! Since I know you like realism, I think you’d like Pandasama’s realistic childbirth mod. They’re currently working on a gender reveal party update right now! I also recommend the realistic relationship mod! It used to be called woohoo wellness and it makes relationships and more realistic! Theres so much added with the mod that it will take alot to describe but I highly recommend it!

Im so happy that you're in a better place in life, and happy enough to do sims videos again.

With Growing Together, you can change and clean infants with the changing table. There's also milestones. Also be warned, if you decided you want to have a legacy gameplay, milestones tend to reset when you change households. But as usual, this can be overcome with mods. Lumpinou made a mod to prevent milestones from disappearing and it's a lifesaver. Just thought of sharing this little bit of info for you. Welcome back Cindy! 😀

Hey girl, I just wanna say I’m sososo proud of you & its awesome to have you back 🥺💓

I know you probably already want to buy growing together to test the infants with the pack, so this is important, try with a new infant, if you already played with the infant and them buy the pack you're going to lose most of the fun. The pack has a whole baby race where you teach them how to talk, walk, first bath, etc. And since your base game infant already does all of this it will just be blocked for you. So I definitely recommend aging her up to toddler and then have bob and Elisa get another baby to see the things with the pack (I recommend testing the science baby, it's way faster than pregnancy).

OMG, Christmas came early this year!! ❤️❤️ Love to see you back, Cindy!!

Bob and Eliza are the perfect duo to start a family with. I enjoyed how you played the infant stage. I did this for awhile before I got Growing Together, but I do believe GT has much more CAS and items for infants, not to mention gameplay. It's nice to see some positivity in the Sims 4. They did get a lot wrong, but occasionally they did it right. I think the infants and toddlers are examples of that.

Your videos are such a breath of fresh air!! I’m so tired of this current stage the Sims community is going through rightnow of ai KZfaq thumbnails and ai scripts, and everyone just being overall negative. Thankyou Cindy for making fun videos to watch!!

i played bob and eliza and named their first daughter Maple Pancakes. i thought it was so cute cause it kind of sounds like mabel but its a pun haha

WOW, looking good cindy!! So excited to see you back!! ❤❤

You can give them a nap in their parents arms if you click the give a nap option on the infant, it’s super cute! Also you can upgrade the crib to add a mobile that plays lullabies but I can’t remember if that’s growing together or base game 😅

Ah! I loved your sims content! Its so informative and honest. Welcome Back Cindy

Cindy you’ll love growing together!! They have cute little baby milestones like first solid food and first crawl and stuff 🥹

I love how you play the sims. You play nice and slow and pay attention to the details. Some sims content creators love to play on fast speed and speed run the game, and it’s fun but this is more how I like to play. It’s so fun to just watch your sims live life and observe their interactions. Love that your back!! ❤

So excited to see you play with infants and see your reaction😂👏🏽

You can refresh their wants using a potion under the satisfaction rewards. Growing Together definitely makes the infants more fun because it adds quirks (for infants and toddlers) plus the milestones and abilities that follow their development. The quirks help add more distinct personalities and I usually consider them in the future when I’m picking their preferences- for example, “Little Singers” will like singing. I also like to randomize these preferences each birthday and keep a few old preferences as they age. I think that ties in with one of the things you were saying! Great video, glad you had fun with the infants!

I'm so glad you're making more sims content, in way its more exciting to someone react who hasn't played in while. I forget how the game has changed since played you (at least on YT) it feels like fresh air.

Infants get so much better with the Growing Together expansion pack. But also harder. You should try the 7 infant challenge, it's a nightmare. Especially when you have Growing Together. Also, great video. And great to have you back!!

26:18 There is one trait that follows infants. I forget what it’s called, but an infant can be a happy infant, have a neutral infant-hood, or they can grow up badly and the good and bad side of that gives them a trait. I think that trait is base game.

oh we're about to eat with all these sims 4 vids

Growing together, you need growing together.

There's a lot of motor skills infants can learn, and you helped Melody with none of them lol. You can give her tummy time and give her toys so she can develop her skills.

Hi Cindy! I love that you're back to the Sims Community. I also haven't played much of Sims 4 lately.

Fears usually are caused by things happening, for instance if there is a fire on the lot they can gain that fear and they then can’t put it out. Fears of crowded spaces is one I have seen too. I don’t have growing together but it does seem like a much nicer system and teaching them more skills. Agree that sims2 is superior in respect of developing a sims character. 😊

If you have Growing Together they actually have a lot more to do. Just basegame infants are decent but Growing Together infants are at another level. Also, you can reroll wants by pressing on sleep on a bed and even if you immediately wake up their wants are reset. Amd finally have you checked the most recent sims makeovers. Not gonna spoiled it but they may or may not have made over some premades from the basegame (not referring to the goths)

Basegame infants aren't the best. Most of the gameplay for infants is locked behind Growing Together, which is a shame. They're much harder to look after with the expansion because they start off not being bake to do things like sit up or crawl

Growing Together definitely adds more to infants and you can get a special trait if you get enough milestones that carries through to adulthood with you

I’m so excited for your sims content to be back! 🎉

If u have a sim who is a Carpenter they can make a musical instrument to soothe the infant to sleep on the crib

one thing i love with infants compared to babies in other sims games is that children and toddlers can play with them. its fun to have sims actually bond with their new siblings

Welcome back Cindy. Your guides and videos have been a very big help to me and many other simmers

If you get Growing together expansion, you will be able to see how the child has grown up, plus the relationship with the parents can change throughout their life stages

Love that you’re back playing The Sims. Can’t wait for you to post The Sims 2 🥰

I am soooooo happy to see you back, Cindy. I wish you nothing but happiness and prosperity going forward. Excited to have your videos back in my life on a regular basis 🎉😊

Fun fact, if you have growing together and play on short lifespan it's nearly impossible to teach the kid to sit in the high chair before they age up. So almost none of my infants ever try foods.

Cindy, to stomp out their annoying autonomous behaviors (like the tea obsession), I use the MC Tuner module of MC Command Center. You can use it to disable most interactions from being done autonomously. I couldn't play Sims 4 without it!

So happy you tried infants. They really did a great job with them, when the expansion and update came my sim had just had triplets and it was a nightmare 😂 growing together makes them way more challenging and for me way more fun. Ill be waiting for the next videos , so glad you're back.

OMG, girl you’ve changed a lot I didn’t even recognize you, so happy you’re back your videos are a lot of fun 💖🙏

Hi Cindy! I'm so glad to see you back in the Sims community. I can only imagine how tough the last year has been for you, and I hope you're feeling better.

OMG! You video popped up, I was... just the mini video with the impression " I know this girl", clicked, still with this impression... When I heard you voice it came to me! You look soooo different! Glad to have you back! ❤ I really liked your videos! ❤

Please look at the option "to give her a nap". Infants that like to be held will sometimes not sleep well alone, but love having a nap in mamas arms and will just get rest this way. It will get much harder with the expantion pack. ;)

cindy i'm so glad you're back! i found your channel just before you took off, and i feared i wouldn't have the chance to see you active. thanks for all your TREMENDOUSLY useful content, and i hope you're happy with your new life and new self. you look great! i wish you the best ❤❤❤

So happy to see another video from you, Cindy-- have missed them! Love your content!

It's so good to see you active again!

So happy you’re back doing what you love!! Missed your sims content so much! I’ll always watch whatever you post here or on the vlog channel 💚

So happy to see you Cindy! You’re looking beautiful as always, can’t wait for more content!

It’s sOOO good to see your face on top of sims content again ❤️😂 keep it coming cindy!

My most recent household has two teens, a child, a toddler & two infants while ALSO running a farm with cows chickens and plants and it is a MASSIVE CHALLENGE. Haven’t played them in a while but this made me wanna go back and dive into the chaos :D so happy you’re exploring the sims again :)

I can’t wait to watch your Sims content! I’m going to be looking forward to this all night.

I just wanna say from since seeing your video taking off the wig to the slow progression, you look so much better and a lot more happier in these past two years. Your hair is also very beautiful. 🖤

I find the 'give infant a nap' interaction really cute, you should try it!

So nice seeing you back doing sims content ❤ I hope it helps your mental health over the vlogs

absolutely loving your new videos!!! I'm so happy you're back ❤️

20:15 you need the changing table thingy

Truly have missed ya Cindy. I'd love to watch you play around in Sims 4 more as your enjoyment brought me joy. Glad things are going so much better for you and welcome back!

So happy you’re back ❤ you’re my comfort simmer, been watching you since 2020 and would watch all of your stream uploads on yt! Missed you!! Glad you’re feeling better and you’re glowing!

So fantastic to watch your new videos! You helped me get through my cancer surgery when I couldn’t play and kept me laughing! I look forward to seeing what you think of Growing Together - personally I think it added a lot to the game. Much love to you! ❤

Really excited to see you back on sims content, your sims 2 lets plays are my favourite

okay queen… you look so freaking good! your hair looks amazing and you’re just glowing honestly. good to see you posting again!!

i can’t wait to see your reaction for Growing Together! It added so much needed depth to the game. Also, you need to try all the new infant gameplay that comes with Growing Together! With this EP, you essentially have to teach your infant how to lift their head up, roll over, stand, crawl, etc, by interacting with them and having tummy time. Each of these achievements is accompanied by a Milestone, which is a new feature introduced with this this pack. (similar to Sims 2 memories) And I think that this makes infants so much more chaotic, fun, and challenging in The Sims 4! However, I still think the game needs a LOT to even dare come close to its predecessors. 💀 Even with the addition of Growing Together and everything else that was added during your Sims hiatus. Glad you’re back, though! 🫶 And I can’t wait for the For Rent expansion pack that’s coming Dec 7th! It’s giving Apartment Life 2.0 🥹🥹🥹 I’m excited to see your reaction for that, too!

I'm so happy with you coming back to the sims community! You are awesome! And I'm glad cause I finally see you really happy about something about sims 4! Make me want to play sims 4.

u rent a flat in my head when u told us ur story and the wig thing, and now ur soooo beautiful and ur hair is beautiful too *---* !!! Happy that u came back, good and happy

I’m so glad you came back! You are really the only Simmer I really enjoy watching! I hope you are doing good and you look amazing!

Oh my god! You're back! And you look so much healthier!

"She just spat it up everywhere. I love that" 😂😂

Love to see you active on this channel again! Also love your vlog channel!

Great video! Loved watching it! Toddlers can also get you bonus traits when they were infants depending how much you took care of them. I know that in my save file I had an infant and they have had super infant there whole life but idk if it does anything like most traits but who knows I haven’t been paying attention. Anyways can’t wait for next video❤

So good to see you again Cindy!!

With Growing Together you get the ability to do baby showers and earn a new bassinet which is a fun experience.

OMGosh!!! I'm so glad to see you playing The Sims again!

So happy to have you back doing sims content ❤️✨ cannot waittt for sims 2 videos 😍
