SS Hack Seasons Repost
SimDebster:
I agree with J.M. I keep reading posts saying that babies and toddlers are crying all of the time, but in my game they are no different than they were pre-Seasons.
Simsane:
Well, I have had 5 babies born in my game so far (not all to the same household) and only the first baby cried all the time. I would have them play, cuddle, cuddle, play, feed, cuddle,cuddle then put in crib. The first time the babies diaper needed changing, I had the adult change it then put the baby back into the crib as the baby had just been put into the crib maybe 15 sim minutes before (just long enough for the parent to walk out of the room and down the stairs which were a few steps from the door). Before the parent could even exit the room, the baby started crying again and it showed he needed his diaper changed again. I thought, what? So I had the parent change the baby (on a changing table both times) and put the baby back into the crib. Just as the parent was straightening back up and before she had even stepped away from the crib, the baby started crying again and again, it showed that the baby needed changing.
I decided to age him to a toddler using testing cheats. He was fine from that point on.
That is the only one out of five that I have had a problem with. And no, I didn't have any hacks in my game which could have caused it as at that time, I only had your nowhatsthis (that drives me nuts!) in my downloads folder since it was a brand new game and I wanted to play it vanilla for a while to see how things went.
I'm not sure that all the other people who have posted about crying babies had the same situation happen, but that's what happened in my game. Could have just been one of those random glitches that everyone gets now and then and not at all what everyone else means. Don't know.
Karen:
I had a warning about a baby with low social ("Children need social interaction..." etc) in one of my houses today. I have raised hundreds of Sim-babies and never seen this before. Kids and toddlers, sure. Babies, never, until Seasons came out. I think they changed something. Maybe it's personality-based, so that more outgoing babies need to be cuddled and played with a lot, or something like that? Just a guess, but it might explain why some people are seeing this and others are not.
Kyna:
I've been selecting babies in debug mode, and discovering that their comfort can also sometimes be low (as well as fun and social). Which is weird, toddlers aren't affected by comfort at all, so why should babies be? As far as I know, there is no way to raise a baby's comfort.
Simsane:
Karen and Kyna, I think the baby I had was actually just a random glitch, but I have read other posts on other sites that have said the same thing you two said. I went to Sims2.com's bbs and on it all Maxis says is that they will fix it in the patch. Now though, many of the posters are saying that they would rather Maxis didn't fix it as crying babies that need play and socializing is so much more realistic. I agree that it is more realistic, but personally, I would rather the babies behaved like they always did in previous games. They are only babies for such a short time in the game and once they are toddlers, they are much more demanding. I would rather my adult sims were able to spend those couple of days before toddlerhood doing more important things than playing and socializing with the baby. But that's just me, I have three kids of my own and the older they got, the better I liked them. So I'm not a baby person.
