This video is family friendly, but The Sims 4 is rated T for Teen and this video is intended for an audience aged 13 and up.

I wanted twin science babies but only got one so I immediately got a second one and it turned out to be triplets. So I ended up with quadruplet toddlers and ALL FOUR of them had the aggressive quirk and were constantly just kicking and biting and hitting everyone and everything. I added a sim to my house to be a live in nanny/maid and I would not have survived otherwise
I don't know if it's a glitch but it seems when I have more than one toddler around they all get the aggressive trait. I don't like to cheat given traits often but I finally decided to blame the game and have a few pleasant children Lol
I have a story like this I was playing a challenge and I wanted my next gen to be a girl so when I gave birth it was triplet boys so I had a science baby and raised quadruplets
Omg i would have quit
I had a science baby for my couple. They already had 2 toddlers from previous relationships and I thought it would be nice to have a 3rd together but I instead ended up with triplets and was borderline tears every time I played the save 😅
Oh my god
In my 100 babies, I learned that except for superefficient baby care (which is so useful to avoid dirty diaper), you cannot, absolutely cannot cue up several interaction if you do not pick up the infant first. My sims just sit down, watch the infant and cancel their interactions. But if you cue up pick up, feed, diaper change, and put to bed, it works wonders.
same things I learned in my 100 babies challenge. I would just add disable autonomy lol
@@thalassophile_artistI tried that and my Sims still kept trying to take care of the infants lol
@@unknowable4147 yes but infants don't do anything other than scream when they have really low needs. Parents react to infants and if they don't complain parents won't do anything
@@thalassophile_artist Disable autonomy doesn't work when infants are involved most times. I've had a complaint lodged with EA Answers on it for months.
i have to play like this because my sims will just stand around doing nothing, if i want to use the computer i have to sit them at the desk first, if i want to do something i have to make them walk up in front of the object, ughhh
Petition for Kayla to age all the infants up and do 7 toddler challenge to see how easy it is compared to infants 🤣
Now try seven cats.
and if one runs away she fails.
Seven black cats? 😂
Love this idea.
@@somethingdraws1927 Wait, do pets run away because they are being neglected? I thought it was random. Guess I'm a terrible person because it happens all the time with me 😅
@@semnome9536yup, when they’re neglected. It’s actually easy to take care of them, the game just doesn’t explain it very well. You just need to feed them, talk to them like once every 2 days and keep them not sick. Hope this helps
Infants are easier with no changing table and no crib. The cribs have become the new high chairs and it is so much easier to let them sleep on the floor, and the changing table just takes so much longer than the change outfit animation
Yes. No cribs, no changing tables, only the playmats & more stuffed bears. My kids just spent hours staring at the bears & all 7 aged up happy with good traits & no one was taken away.
@@JosieMae2 Thanks for the advice. This will also reduce the need for so much furniture/extra rooms in my households I am not actively managing especially if I have twins.
I love the cribs tbh. But only if they have a mobile attached. Puts them to sleep much quicker than the floor or play mat and then they don’t wake each other up by crying
i find that the playmats are somehow horribly magnetic in my gameplay ? they’re tragically the new highchairs to me , esp cause my infants who can crawl get stuck on a playmat after a sim places them there autonomously & then goes to a long task i queued 😭 howeverr i looove the cribs once they’re upgraded to have the mobile! it makes putting any fussy infant to sleep so easy!! i sometimes enjoy the changing table for the added gameplay annoyance tbh (but onlyyy when i feel i can handle the extra glitchy-ness they cause lolol) 💚
@@softnoobie Yes, the playmats are my highchairs. I honestly prefer the high chairs to the playmats!
A surprisingly useful trait for challenges is dance machine. The sim has a disco nap option which raises sleep up really fast but only takes as long as a nap. As long as you have a radio in the living room for them to dance to, it's great
I never realized there was anything good about that trait. Learn something new every day!
Absolutely taking note of this!
Fun fact: The sound of babies crying is used in psycological torture!
as someone who grew up with always a new baby to care for....yes!
I can confirm.
another day, another video of Kayla calling babies “it” 😂😂
i recently figured out why sims pick up the babies for no reason so much. the infants have an interaction that doesn’t show up in their queue but if you watch them you can see them calling for their parent. it happens especially with pets because the infants ask to be set on the floor so they can sleep beside the pet.
Yep, a lot of the issues with infants are due to the baby calling the parent. You have to bounce between adult and infant POV controls to really get everything done. That's the same issue with high chairs. The adult puts an infant/toddler in the high chair, then while getting food, the kid calls to a parent and then the adult's reaction to that call is to let them out. You have to get them put in, switch to the kid to make sure they don't call out, then it works.
Okay that’s pretty cute actually
@sketchyghost_6271 Yeah, if you've ever seen a real life baby and pet falling asleep cuddling it's tooth rottingly fluffy realism that Sims infants will also want to sleep next to the pets.
Kayla, literally a third of the way into the whole video: "maybe it would be best if we just _nearly_ starved them all instead of feeding them regularly"
Absolutely in love with this energy
I literally just had my worst experience, where my sim got pregnant and had twins. But the day after she got pregnant, her husband got abducted and also got pregnant. So I had 3 infants at once, which is hard by itself. But their quirks were
Isla: aggressive, destructive, picky eater
Indy: picky eater, hates bedtime, gassy
Isaiah: hates bedtime, loves water, hates being carried
So on top of them being glitchy in general, I had so much refusal to eat and sleep. I just had to age them up early because I was literally starting to hate them.😂
Honestly, all of those traits are so bad! So annoying. Messy eater is the only one that might be worse than a couple of those.
@@WelcomeApathyMessy eater is pretty neutral in my opinion - it doesn't impact needs or lead to aggressive behaviour, and if you have the money trashcan you can make money off it.
Im currently doing the decades challenge with 5 kids all aged below the child stage, farm animals, simple living & off the grid lot traits-- it is TOUGH out here (I highly recommend decades challenge if you wanna do a new legacy series tho its so fun)
that seems impossible 😮
HOW I struggled already with just simple living and farm animals hahaha I cant imagine all of these
I'm not doing the Decades challenge, but I did that with one baby and a single mom how on earth do you survive with FIVE i was dying with one infant
Omg I had a garden, a cow, an infant and 2 aggressive toddlers, it’s actually torture. Tough is an understatement, especially with 2-3 adults
(make 7 separate infant rooms, place in each room a playmat: infants won't wake each other up)
Yeah. Thats a good plan. I did mine with 7 infants in 4 rooms so when the chain reaction screams happened the screaming with airlocked into just 2 kids. It's all about containment & micro managment.
I did it with 7 separate rooms with cribs and only two play mats for tummy time and such, also hired a nanny and ALSO more or less kidnapped Kyle Kyleson once he showed up to stay over (made sure to befriend him and after he left schedule a new stayover for max time.)
Yep, and make your sim a vampire so that you can just fly as bat and delete all of the doors! 🤣 I'm trying to do 100 infants like that.
Beth’s first word was “help”
i love the thumbnail, because it only fits 6 infants, and Kayla being the 7th head, implying her to be an infant
Imagine Kayla making seven clones of herself,aging them down,dressing and naming them all the same and THEN doing the challenge
Honestly, with the way a single Sim acts around multiple infants, it makes me always wish to have one at the time or age them up faster. I wish that would get adjusted a bit, there no reason a single infant needs the attention of all the adults in the home at once.
“It might be best to almost starve them” -lilsimsie 2023
Now I really wanna see these kiddos grow up, they deserve to make her life hell as toddlers too
One year later... "I'm doing the 7 infant challenge again."
As an irl infant nanny to twins, Kayla going “this is fine, totally manageable” then IMMEDIATELY changing to “everything is terrible” is highly accurate for multiples 😂
Love that you rather put a second bathtub than a bed for the trapped Nanny 😂
kayla: omg who would even want to try this challenge
me: making a family of one mom and 7 infants to try this challenge
Kayla not only put her irl self through this but also her in game self 😂
7 infant challenge in an apartment with a parent w/ the high matinence trait xD
The way you know Kayla isn’t a nurse or in retail is when she says the “q” word or any indications of things being peaceful or silent 😂😂😂
As a phone customer service rep, I totally agree 😂
What does this mean? (I'm not from an english speaking country). Is the word 'quiet'?
@@l.josinoit basically means that things are peaceful. Basically you're jinxing it
@@abigailgriffin-wc3fm oh i see. thank you
I just had triplets in my werewolf legacy challenge (I have the "on ley line" trait because I think it fits) and they are Impossible. I can't imagine having 7
I think the technique can be improved by starting the feeding cycle right at the beginning. Immediately when you start the game, feed and then carry inside. Even if they are pretty ok. That way, you spread out the hunger levels between them and the chaos might not be as bad.
Yes, also the idea is to take care of half of them and putting the others to sleep, that way you create two turns of babies, and you take care of like 3/4 each time.
You can age up Infants from the pie menu if it is their birthday, you don't need the cake.
This is why i was never on the "better babies" train. Stuff like this happened in the sims 2 all the time. Seems like you have to play with autonomy off for the adult sim to do what you're cueing up.
I was definitely anti-babies' "rights" / better babies. I KNEW the change wasn't going to go the way players thought it should. Back to the bassinet, I say!
Pro tip : Actually control your simself because you can cancel check infant interactions that quene up every time infant is upset that way your sim actually might do what you want her to
yess i find it’s easier to queue actions through the caregiver and not the infant, leads to less pickups/putdowns
The check infant interaction has given me ptsd, it breaks up my perfect que and I have to start again.
I hate how the sims team gives us something super nice only for it to be glitchy af. Like, here take the nicest phone ever, but it’s screen is completely shattered but oh it’s fine.
Just dumping the baby on the ground for no apparent reason? Good to see that they brought at least some things forward from The Sims 3 for the life stage. :P (though, seriously, "infants" when they're THAT old? It should be Infant (the basinet object) -> Baby -> Toddler)
EDIT: It would probably make it too easy (relatively speaking), and probably make for a more boring video, but perhaps try the challenge again with Autonomy off...
I think this challenge would be easier if the kids were split up into separate rooms or rooms with 2 or 3 only in them. Might make it easier to keep the sim from trying to autonomously queue up stuff for the other kids
My name is Ally, my aunt’s name is Beth, my BIL is Ethan and my good friend is Fran… lol this challenge oddly hit close to home for me 🤣
The infants are so frustrating in this game
I don't normally play with kids. I just don't prefer it honestly. If I do I almost always start with them being teenagers 😅 I had my sim get pregnant by her husband thinking she'd only have one baby.... She had triplets.... I cried 😂
I had 1 baby, 1 infant, and 1 toddler in a 2 parent sim household and still thought I was going to die.
ok, I tried this challenge back when it came out too and I discovered a couple things that made the challenge easier. I feel like it was easier than the seven toddler challenge, even. I gave them each other own tiny room because I knew one crying would make all the others cry too. I mainly kept them in their crib. I did not add a changing station because they take up too much time and add problems. Doing it the base game way was quicker and infants got put back in the crib automatically instead of laid on the floor.
I just periodically fed them and changed their diapers and took naps as frequently as I could. I never woke up a sleeping infant even if their needs were yellow. They won't starve, just let them wake up on their own before feeding them. I did hire a nanny, so maybe without the nanny I would have fallen apart. I also hired a personal chef at one point so I didn't have to waste time making food. I do consider myself lucky that the AI didn't cancel out any of my actions and my sim followed my orders. I only had to use directions from the infant's point of view if I wanted the nanny to do something since I couldn't control her. My sim was able to keep her needs up since I felt that she had a bit of spare time. She took showers and watched comedy TV to keep her fun up. Near the end, though, she started going to sit on the couch before she could perform any action which was annoying.
I'm proud to say ALL of the babies aged up with the top notch infant trait!
Idk if you're going into this with money limitations but if not my biggest tip:
*Put the babies in separate rooms.*
They don't have to be like completely separated they can be right next to each other in small rooms but put a wall. One of the biggest issues is one crying and making the rest cry just because they hear crying. The sim responds to crying. Some of them don't need anything they're just crying. So separating them helps the sim focus.
Not once have infants ever worked for me. The game doesn’t let me feed them so I instantly age them to toddlers
7:24 just calling them all “it” 😂 not calling them by their names nor outfit color
Question is brewing and drinking coffee too time consuming compared to sleeping? I tend to keep my sims well caffeinated 😅
did you get a new camera? looks great!
I've found that it helps to queue things multiple times if you want the sims to get it done, in the event of constantly picking a baby up/down and not doing what I said to do.
I LOVE YOUUUU YOU GOT ME ENJOYING THE SIMS EVEN MORE ❤
Personally when I had 3 vampire infants I turned off autonomy for that life stage so my sims only did what I asked 😅
I've had five infants at once. It was a nightmare with the parent Sim constantly picking them up randomly and ignoring the ones I wanted her to feed/change. I couldn't do it without travelling and leaving them all to go to daycare. They make toddlers look easy. :)
If the infant has a stinky diaper when it ages up to toddler it will keep the stink as a toddler, child, etc. I found that out when I had several infants and left them alone awhile. They became children and one kept having the stink no matter bathing, changing clothes, etc. I had to reset him back to infant, change the diaper, then age him back again.
The way i cackled when the nanny grabbed a slice
I only play young adult, adult and elder. I wish the adoption system would let my sims adopt a teenager because my elders don;t want a toddler and something that can still take care of itself. So I don't know the horrors of taking care of a baby.
A schedule is fine, but all of them should be on the same schedule, how is she going to take care of her needs if she is taking care of kids around the clock? If the infants weren't so glitchy, then it would be fun---but no!!! Why EA why??? Maybe you should have 2 tubs or three?? Well, since you got the nanny trapped, why not get her a bed too? And don't you think the nanny's dress is adorable???
Maybe the team should work on game basics like, sims do what you tell them to, before they give us more content...
I think you should prove to us that a 7 toddler challenge would be easier by doing one with these exact Sims
So one thing I learned about infants and how it decided their age up trait. It is all purely based off how the infant is at the time it ages up. If everything is in the green it will most likely get the best trait, if it has needs in the red it will get the bad one. So if you want the infant to age up well, get all the needs in the green and age up. I only learned this after I super cared for a kid and it only got Happy infant, I started experimenting in other save files after that and figured that out. Also a lot of actions get cancelled with infants because they decide to sleep. The game is super flawed in this way as it choses sleep over everything else.
I don't understand how people think this is hard. I've done 7 infants twice with none taken away & all got bonus traits. It's just a time management sim you control from the kids. The adult should never be queuing up actions, except minimum tummy time. The kids run the show. Only allow them to call for what they want or need. Oh, and never tell anyone to leave. The welcome wagon stays. I mean they stay. Bob & Eliza literally never left. They tried to but the infants held them hostage calling for baths, food & diaper changes.
Had my sim move her bf into her house and they had twins, but then I realized that the bf already had an adopted infant daughter. I felt horrible so I moved the daughter into my sims house, but my sim was already pregnant again. She had twins AGAIN! So 3 infants and 2 newborns. The parents were passing out over and over trying to take care of them as ghosts broke things 😂 infants are terrifying
This sounds so chaotic from the beginning 😭
The way you described your Sim having a queue full of tasks, wanting to do them all at once, not knowing how to proceed, and just standing there is the ADHD experience
im to the point if my sim has like triplets and they are all crying ts automatic cheat need cus I cannot deal
Unpoular opinion: I really dislike the infant life stage.
Your shirt is so cute!! Adorable daisies ❤
Me who never have babies in sims watching a video of why I don’t 😂
Why do you keep putting yourself in these situations??? 😂😂😂😂
At 15:31 the child sounds like it is throwing up 😂
I saw the video title and was like “oh did they fix the infant bugs?” mm no they did not 😂
I can't even lie I cheat the infants needs in my game so much
I tried to do this the day the infants came out…did not go well
i recently started a save and i thought it would be fun for the Main Character Sim to have twin siblings. it was not fun. infants are so stressful and then they grow up into still-stressfull toddlers... by the time they're kids and therefore actually managable, she'll be long moved out
and theyre so glitchy too!! my sims constantly teleport around when they take care of them and today when their mom was tucking the in she did it through a wall. THROUGH A WALL.
Does anyone else want Lilsimsie to do every room is a different pack challenge but you can’t use that pack. It would be so fun.
The way you call the babies “it” 😂😂😂😂
Back when infants first came out, my Sims were SO annoying with their baby/infant that I no joke made the one mom (my heir) divorce the other mom so that she would stop interfering with me trying to take care of the baby. I destroyed a family because EA made their infants so glitchy.
honestly the easiest time I've had raising an infant in the sims was in my household that had a butler. i would constantly have the kid ask him for help instead of her parents and it worked perfectly almost every single time!
was doing a personalized version of the black widow challenge and my sims first kid was...quadruplets...!
so i had four infants... i hired a nanny, befriended her, and had her move in- i don't think those kids would've survived otherwise 😭
more than half of the challenge here is just trying to get the adult sims to listen and do what you tell them
the number of times ive had them put a toddler in the high-chair only to spin around and take them back out, like can you... CAN YOU JUST LEAVE THEM. IN ONE PLACE. FOR A MOMENT.
And we tought toddlers where hard.....
I am currently playing a family in a Christmas themed town and this family is the first in the town aptly named Kristmas. Bella & Christian are the parents and the have 3 children who are all very young, 2 newborn twins and 1 toddler and they are both getting upset because they are ready for yet another child!!!! Bad thing is the are on a plot of land that I made notorious for twins! so I am scared the next set will be twins again!!! it is getting hard already. Oh by the way the boys are named Shepherd, Nicholas & Thomas :) hoping next will be a girl I am wanting a Merry & a Noelle! Next families to design are the Claws (Mr & Mrs.) who will of course be wolf, Krampus who I am thinking will be a single dad and his teen son, The Kringles I slightly crazy family of 4 with all sorts of craziness in the family, The TinselToes *elves* (Jingle, Sprinkles & Twinkle) Holly & Carol who will be twin sister's, Midwinter a young couple, Holiday a gay couple, & Balthezar a Vampire house! Should be fun... Thought I would share, but the dynamic on the Kristmas house is getting crazy so far! Oh and Shepherd is a little bit of a rebel so far & trouble maker!
1. Cue baby care through the baby, not the adult. It'll actually happen then.
2. Do not pick up a baby until you're ready to feed AND change them. Have the baby use their diaper first. Staying on top of changing helps prevent baths and blowouts.
3. Get rid of changing tables and cribs. I like playing with changing tables usually, but for 7, it takes too long.
4. Usually with triplets, if I want tummy time, I will hire a nanny - the nanny does all child care, I only do tummy time. With 7 though, I think it's a lost cause.
This is what it was like in Romania. After a while, you stop crying and just stare into the void. But I survived it. Look up Romanian orphanages. This is starting to make sense now why nobody did anything. Not justified, but I think I understand a bit more of the workers . Never had a bath till I was adopted…
Omg, Lilsimsie is CHAOS in the sims!
"I gave [my babies] color coded duck costumes" is honestly adorable. I love it. Also yeah it seems like the Strangerville lots have some sort of hidden trait that encourages sims to just. Abandon babies outside????
i remember back when the infant update came out, i had just decided to start a new not so berry challenge and since mint gen has triplets i decided to start the challenge with three infants instead of babies and OH BOY IT WAS HELL
I suspect that one of the big reasons that there are so many glitches with the babies is because of autonomy. The poor Sim is getting overwhelmed by the babies' constant demands. I play with autonomy off and I don't have those problems. (I don't see the point in having autonomy on if you're going to be directing the Sim anyway.)
I am a sims 3 player way more than 4, I didn’t play the infants update but with the Black Friday sale I bought growing together and decided to give it a go. My sim had twin infants along with a toddler and I thought I wasn’t going to make it out alive 😅😂
How'd the 7 infant challenge turn into Fnaf for Kayla??? "We just gotta make it throught the night and we will be fine" jsjdjdud
one of my sims had TRIPLETS as his wife’s 1st pregnancy. I had to make one of them quit their job to take care of them
This is so relatable right now, my sim just had her second set of triplets 🥲
But why 😅?
When Kayla loses weight, she becomes lilslimsie
When Kayla gains weight, she becomes bigsimsie
this is why now whenever i have an infant in my game i disable autonomy. LEAVE THE KID ALONE
This tells us that they should have an option to disable infant care autonomy.
I once raised 12 infants at once. For the first time ever I was hyped to have toddlers
So, I used to work in daycare, and let me tell you human infants are easier to deal with then sims infants, because you can multitask, and human infants almost never refuse to eat from a bottle and they hold their own bottle or you can prop it in a pillow, changing diapers is really fast and easy and you can tell them “I’m getting to you “ when they scream and most of the time they stop screaming, with sims infants my limit is 5, with human infants it’s 25, so think about it
the fact that sims either wont pick up babies, infants, and toddlers, or pick them, up and put them down, oor refuse to put them down where you want and just put them some other random place makes dealing with those age groups so tedious. like yes of course i wanted to spent several sim hours just staring at the screaming child.
I know its just the sims but its annyoing hearing a baby called "it"
I wonder if turning autonomy off makes a difference? I understand why the sims team added the feature of the infants asking for help, but it sure doesn't work with a challenge like this!
why is the AI so glitchy and the sims don't even do what you tell them to with infants :( especially when you have multiple ones :( it makes the game SO difficult
Sim Kayla: I don't have a favourite kid!
Also sim Kayla: *Only takes care of Beth*
I love how Kayla is the 7th infant on the thumbnail 😂
😭😭😭
Am I the only one who's a little bothered that she keeps calling the babies "it"? Like, I'm not mad about it , it just hurts my ears every time
👋 hi
Maybe get rid of the changing table to save time from having to walk over there? Also it's one less object for the sim to get confused over.
Early
