This mod is giving me a reason to want to play, again.

Thank you! It is so agitating when autonomy is disabled, yet sims still do autonomous things!

Will this mod also stops sims from autonomously checking on infants even if they are not crying?

Thank you for the comments! Glad to hear you think this way too.

I basically never play with autonomy turned on, so I hadn't even realized sims do that, too. But no, the mod shouldn't stop that, since it removes the "check on emergency" interaction related to being a caregiver of a newborn/infant/toddler. To my understanding this interaction is the only "check on a child" interaction that is autonomously run even with autonomy turned off from game settings.

Can u make a mod that makes the infant feeding time a little longer? i hate the 10 secs and they're done with bottle

Thank you so much!

Thank you this mod is really helpful! I am wondering if it is possible to make carrying in a baby carrier time longer. I like when my sims go on walks with their infants but they keep taking them out of the carrier or resetting.

At the moment I don't plan on making other infant mods

At the moment I don't plan on making other infant mods I also don't have the newest pack yet!

totally agree!

I was wondering if you could make an infant mod where you the "Sleepy Infant" moodlet does not ever appear and never makes my infant nap. It is so annoying that despite the motives being full my infants will take naps making it pointless to even keep the motives full. btw no pressure to actually make this I know you don't plan on making infant mods atm

Thanks so much!! The check infants thing is so annoying!!

thank you very much!

Infants are an absolute nightmare. Even newborns are not this bad. Infants keep crying even when ALL their needs are green and they are not cold. They often get a sad "Rest time" moodlet simply for being awake for too long. So who is telling them not to sleep?! Then they wake up and randomly get an angry moodlet. It's infuriating.

I have taken care of actual babies in real life and they are not so difficult to deal with. Every 2 or 3 hours, you need to feed them, burp them and change their nappies. This takes around 30 minutes each time, but after that you are free. They will play and make noises, but they don't cry continuously like in-game infants for no reason.

The actual hard part is that they need this schedule constantly. They don't even sleep more than 3 hours before waking up and crying for milk. So we would normally take rotating shifts taking care of the baby. Normally only 1 person is assigned to look after the baby for a few hours. That's it. Everyone else gets on with their lives. In the game, whenever the baby cries, literally everyone in the house stops what they are doing and try to check the baby. But none of them actually do it, and they spend hours just standing around blankly until I cancel/reset them and then they just go back to whatever they were doing without checking the baby. It's honestly easier to play as the baby and just ask any adult for help.

The in-game time needs to be fixed because it literally takes 30 minutes just to pick them up. Then most of the time the adult will drop them without doing what you asked.

Very much needed! I also play with autonomy off, and the constant checking, essentially stops my Sims from functioning! Thank youu!!!

Thank you! Trying to get back into TS4 since I haven't played since before the infants were incorporated. While it's great the Sims themselves trying to be attentive, it just ends with:
Parent: *Puts infant in crib*
Infant: *cries as part of it's routine to fall asleep*
Parent: *cancel soothe to sleep interaction, check infant, pick infant up out of crib*
Parent B: *enters picture and an endless loop begins of trying to get both parents to eff off so their kid can finally sleep*

Hi I want to start of by saying that I love this mod but since last update (maybe the one before) i have had my sims go pick up my infants while they are trying to sleep to put them to sleep. I am doing a 100+ baby challenge and having all teens and older hovering over 1 infant interrupting them constantly is bugging me. I have had the mod for about two months and in that time the check toddler thing never stopped so much that I ended up making a toddler only room accessible by pet doors. I do use other mods like MCCC and TOOL and BBB and the infant milestone adder mod (sorry cant remember name) please let me know if any of those mods interfere or a setting in those mods.
Thanks for reading

thanks so much for this! my sims literally wakes up out of her sleep to check on the infant. and then while the second parent is taking care of the baby, the first parent still feels the need to interfere like "frick off! its being handled already!"
