So we’ll soon have more than just diverse Sims – we’ll have more relationship options, too! Multigenerational Gameplay This opens up a new world of storytelling possibilities, such as surrogacy, sperm donors, platonic co-parents, and more. Sims can even have Science Babies with other Sims, regardless of whether they have a romantic relationship. It’s a big thing to make features like these available to Simmers, but it’s even cooler to know that diverse Sims of all sorts will soon start showing up in-game. Some Redditors have already reported Toddler Sims aging up with new medical wearables from another recent update, so it’s probably safe to assume that will happen with glasses, stork bites, and helmets, too. Infants can have stork bites, too – baby birthmarks that tend to fade with age – that come in a wide range of natural-looking swatches for Sims of all skin tones. Infants – the new life stage – will have even more customization options, with clothing separates and sets, hairstyles for all hair lengths and textures, glasses with adjustable straps, and helmets with loads of fun designs.

Newborns will look much more like their Sim parents. Newborns – the life stage now known as Babies – will soon have as many skin tone options as older Sims. You can’t even change them out of their yellow butterfly onesies – without custom content (CC), that is – so adorable booties, cuddly accessories, and sweet hairstyles are out, too.īut Maxis is taking yet another big leap toward diversity representation with the Infants update. Currently, the game only has three skin tones for babies, and if one or both of the parent Sims have a custom skin tone, their babies might even change colors periodically. Sim babies have always been maddeningly limited in terms of diversity and customizability.
