More Awesome Than You!

Sure you have seen in the news how Britney Spears was caught driving with her baby on her lap-my sim decides to do the same! She was going off to work, couldn't put the baby in the crib, and decided to take him with her instead :D

When she came home, the baby was stuck to her chest, but was fine otherwise.

*giggles* 

Heehee, I hadn't heard about Britney Spears, but I have had this glitch happen before.  I guess it was "Bring Your Child To Work" day.

That baby was one of twins-so the nanny had an easy day that day! I'm glad it didn't crap up the game though, Sharon is one of my favourite sims. She is a romance sim, with 3 kids (single parent) all the kids have the same dad though, he is the Mr Big in downtown. In my game his name is William Turner! (POTC anyone?) ;D

Oooh, POTC.  I can't wait for the sequel!

"Oops, I did it again?"  ;D

Hahaha

I had a teen take her baby sister to school with her  once.  Didn't even notice the baby was missing till she came home from school with it stuck to her chest lol

I had my one of my sims cook dinner with her baby, use the bathroom, and even watch Television.

I've always thought they should make sim-ovens out of sim-babies, since they are completely fireproof.

Well, I can't really blame your sim, Emma - babies are quite a fashionable accessory.

Lol, I had a few odd thoughts at this.

New and Improved!

Studies show that sim babies are more fireproof than other leading brands, including human, dog, cat, fish, and even the elusive donkey!  They are completely waterproof too!  So, when you are out shopping for a baby, please, buy a sim baby, you won't be disapointed!

Never had this happen, but I did have a Sim cook dinner, eat it and clear-up all the dishes while holding her baby (after feeding it), then she went back to feed it again and finally put it to bed.  While she was sitting eating (in an armchair) the baby was across her chest in a way that looked as if it was breastfeeding - I wish someone would utilise that to make a breastfeeding mod.  Shame on Maxis for promoting artificial feeding over natural.  They could have set an example, been pioneers.  What an ideal opportunity thrown away.  (Sorry, one of my bandwagons, couldn't help climbing on it).

Anyway, what on earth is POTC?  Prostitutes on the corner?  Pain over the cock?  Please open the curtains? 

Pets are better, however, if you wish is to pick up guys  ;)

@ Ancient Sim - POTC is Pirates of the Carribean a movie with Johnny Depp

@ angelyne - do the pets have to be alive to pick up guys?  :P

Sim babies rock!

ROFL! :D


Love the pic Theo!

I think it's more effective that way yes.  However having a dead deer strapped to the wood of your car might garner some attention.  However whether or not you want attention from that crowd depends on you :)

PS Theo, that picture is just priceless.  It could be a poster for women's lib with the caption mothers can rock too!

Wow, its really cool to have such pictures. I wish I had such glitches. Love the picture of the DJ mum with baby!  :P

I just had this happen for the first time last night -- a new mom just fed her baby, and then sat down to eat herself (her husband cooked and served, so the dish was still on the table).

Aww that is so cute, and a lot more realistic! :D

I've had this happen to me several times now, with toddlers too.  I have several pictures but I can't post them right now.  I even have some with a dad taking a shower with a baby, and another one with a mom taking a shower with a toddler that appears to be attached to her back.  Too bad the toddler was still stinky when she got out of the shower with him; it could have saved her some time.

Lots of people take their babies into the shower with them. It's easier than dunking them into the tub, that's for sure. The babies should get clean too, I say.

I'm sure it would be hard to code into the game, but I really wish sims could carry their babies and do something else. Emma is right! Perhaps it could raise relationship scores, just like holding a baby IRL increases the bond. I hate that choice--interact with the baby, or do something else.

How many mothers do you know put the baby down to answer the phone?  I have heard lots of women talk about how they learn to do stuff one-handed because they always have a baby on one hip and trying to do everything else with the other.  In fact, there was a commercial on TV recently for the new retractable Sharpies because moms never have two hands free to take the cap off and write with them.  I'd also love it if mom's could braid their daughter's hair and stuff like that.  I remember my mom doing that when I was younger, and even though it wasn't always comfortable (she kept telling me to hold my head so the braid would be taut!) those times are some of my favorite childhood memories, and we did bond through that.  So many things...but it's just a game, a life simulator, and it's impossible to program everything into it.  Still it would be nice...

I read somewhere about Sims being able to take toddlers into the shower to wash them, but I imagine if that ever happened it was a glitch like the ones shown... can't see Maxis coding that in :P Which makes it really sucky when there's no room for a tub in the house but the toddler's getting stinky - why can't THEY get washed in the sink instead of babies who, as cute as it is, never really need it when there's diaper changes? I usually end up buying them a tub, plunking it on the lawn, washing the toddler and selling the tub back. :P

LOL, Swiftgold, I've done the same thing myself!  As long as you sell it right back and it's before midnight, you'll get all your money back!  I too wish toddlers could be washed in the sink.  Why not?  I did recently discover though that if you let a stinky toddler do their thing in their diaper, even though they are potty-trained, their hygiene will be almost fully restored by using the changing table.  ???  The toddlers lose hygiene faster after they are potty trained, and in my experience, they usually need at least one bath before they grow up.

Yeah, that's what I've noticed, too. They generally need at least one bath. I let one go to see if they'd do the shower thing, but of course they didn't, and then the toddler kept complaining so I just fabricated them a tub. Man, I wish someone would drop things down for me when I need them...  ;D

No, the toddler in the shower is a glitch, and the baby didn't actually get clean.  I have a picture of that somewhere.

Yeah, things dropping out of the sky when we need them would be great. ;D

And that, my friends, is gross. Hee. Anyone who spends their lives in diapers needs a bath almost every day. Those things just do not breathe well.

meh, I don't think it's gross, I ignore the hygeine of my toddlers until it gets pretty low, then put them to bed with a full bladder. Though the bath animation is adorable, a diaper change is so much faster. (of course I'd never do that with a real baby) I don't keep tubs on my lots, just too appealing to my stupid lazy adults who don't have time for that.

Eh, I suppose I was thinking of RL...I have an eleven-month-old who gets pretty ripe after a day-and-a-half. I was overthinking it.  ;D
