Adoption: adopt babies and children into the Sims 4
In "The Sims 4" your Sims can choose to be adopted. You actively choose the right family member and also decide whether it should be a baby, toddler or child. In this practical tip we will show you how.
How to adopt children, toddlers and babies in Sims 4
If your Sims family doesn't want their own children, or you just want to play a large and diverse family, your Sims can choose to adopt them. That's how it works:
- Click on the computer with your Sim.
- Select "Household" and then "Adoption".
- You will now see an overview (see screenshot). With one click you can select the Sim child, toddler or baby.
- Your active Sim will then travel briefly and then come back with the baby or (small) child. Your Sims pay 1, 000 Simoleons to the agency for this.
- You will then be asked if you want to change the child's name or if you want to keep it. The name can be redrawn by clicking on the cube.
