Children in The Sims 4: You Must Know This

In "The Sims 4" your Sims can have babies again who grow up to be children. At first there were no toddlers in "The Sims 4", but since an update they are now an integral part of the new Sims part. After the baby level, the toddler age follows before the child age follows. In this practical tip, we will tell you what else you should know about this.

How to have children in The Sims 4

Children can be created in "The Sims 4" directly when creating a new family or later in the game using the "Techtelmechtel" or "Make Baby" function.

• The children cannot be selected and created when they are created, but only at the toddler level. You can assign a characteristic. When creating, it is also possible to create the children through a genetics experiment.
• If you make a baby in The Sims 4, depending on the settings, the baby will grow into a toddler in a few days. The baby can also age manually by selecting the baby with a Sim and clicking "Get Older".
• In "The Sims 4" you can adopt Sims children, toddlers and babies.

The Sims 4: Sims kids have obligations

As in the previous parts, the Sims children go to school - from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on working days. You can also take a vacation, skip or report sick.

• Sims children should do their homework regularly, which you will find in the inventory. If you don't learn or skip, you have to expect poor school performance and the consequences.
• To meet the milestones of the Sims children, you should make sure to complete the tasks. These can be found in the bottom bar. If you complete these tasks, you will receive satisfaction points that you can redeem in the Rewards Store.

Take good care of the Sims children

As in real life, the Sims families should take good care of their offspring. Here are a few tips for dealing with the children:

• Children and teenagers do not need a babysitter in "The Sims 4". Only the Sims toddlers and babies are accommodated in the free day care as long as the other Sims are at work or leave the property. As soon as they are back home, the baby comes back. It is also possible to hire a babysitter for a fee.
• However, those who neglect the baby, toddler or child can expect to be picked up by the social welfare office. Once done, that cannot be undone. You should therefore take good care of your children, toddlers and babies.
