[Sleepycat]

*downloads and installs* Very Shiny! Thanks JM!

[LynnMar]

Fabulous, thanks JM,  this is one of the first mods I asked for after getting NL.   yeah.   

[FatedCircle]

Thank you!  I've been waiting anxiously for this one, I hate it when my sims stand around like idiots because they want to give the (clean) baby a bath...and can't because someone is already bathing her, she's skillinating or otherwise occupied.

Many thanks to the awesome one!

[Hairfish]

Ahhhhhh...smooth...yummy...

[lauraglenn]

So glad to see this one back.  My sims were driving me crazy!  Thanks.

[TheSimaniac]

it's a miracle! Just what I was asking for in mts2 yesterday1!

[agcons]

Fancy meeting you here, HF   

As for the updated correction for a grossly irritating EA-created problem, I bow and scrape with obsequious gratitude.

[PKTrekGirl]

Thanks!  I've been eagerly awaiting this one!  One of my favorite hacks you make!

[Venusy]

Are you using the right one for your game? I seem to remember the Uni version creating major problems in NL, so that might be your problem... or vice versa...

[RealHogsFan]

This is going to be so helpful to me.  I'm so tired of the nannys & parents going and waking my infants up, holding them, then putting them down on the FLOOR, arg, all just because in about 10 sim hours they are going to be hungry or need a diaper changing or for whatever other reasons they do it.

Thank you muches.  Will report back if I have any problems.

Just downloading this again when I realised I didn't have it in.  I realised this because Brandi Broke fed her new baby three times in a row and was about to go for the fourth until I stopped her.  It was either that or she starved to death (the baby, of course, was never hungry in the first place).

Not totally off the subject but -
Have you thought of using FBA?  When I start up a family on eof the first things I do 5with Testing CheatEnabled on° I enable FBA.  I understand tht there are two versions, FBA 1 and FBA 2, but I only know how to put FBA 1 on.  In any case FBA (Find Best Action)  stops nutso and destructo actions like burning food, taking a baby up to the third floor of the house to use the potty when there's a potty two Sim feet away, feeding the kids repeatedly or (for the Nanny) playing video games while the child starves to death.

I don't recall ever hearing about a FBA cheat 

[Venusy]

Shift-click on a sim while in debug mode. It should be one of the options there. (I think...)

[hedgekat]

JM you are a total lifesaver.   I have been pulling my hair out trying to play superlarge multifamily households with multiple babies with every adult in the house wanting to hold them and refusing to tend their own needs.  Or I would have pulled my hair out if I could have let go the mouse and keyboard long enough.   Thank you,  thank you,  thank you,  for making my game enjoyable again.   ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

[Nick]

I agree. Now its safe to have lots of babies, and have fewer worries. He has also made my game better, and less stressful. I can play AND have fun now.

Thanks JM. Can't wait for the next hack.

[themaltesebippy]

This is a wonderful mod and lets me control how I want sims to raise the baby.  The only time these harass the infant though is when their own hunger meter is a little low and that makes them want to feed the baby.  I usually just teleport them far away and make them eat.

[Talismana]

Is there a version of this hack available somewhere for those of us with the base game only? Thanks!

[J. M. Pescado]

I think that would be the Uni- version, for Uni and below.

[Talismana]

Ooops, silly, nearsighted me, missed the "-"...many thanks, again. You are a sanity preserver, Pescado.

[Rheassi]

This is awesome. Thank you!! 


Would it be possible to make it so that infants could only be put in a crib or playpen when they are put down. It drives me nuts when my Sims drop their infants on the floor!!!

Thanks!

It may not be a separate hack, but in the director's cut there's a hack called 'nodroptiredbaby' that keeps the parents holding a tired baby. And the automated baby controller (found in the previous forum) also makes sure the parent  puts the baby back in the crib most of the time, even when it's not tire. I have both in my gme, and my experience with them is that the parents rarely if ever put the baby on the floor -- usually only if they have some other pressing need and the crib is too far away (or they're told to by me ). And with the baby controller, if one parent puts the baby down, usually the other or a teen in the house comes along and picks it up to put it in the crib.

[RainbowTigress]

I noticed recently that my sim parents will keep wanting to pick up the baby and feed it even when it's just been fed.  I do have this hack, and I thought it was supposed to stop this type of behavior.  I think it's just been since NL and I put in the updated NL version of this hack that I've noticed this.  I don't remember it happening with the Uni version.
