IMPORTANT NEWS
From v.3 of the mod, some EA’s newborns interactions have been overwrited, so this means that this mod is incompatible with other mods that overwrite the above-mentioned interactions.
MY PREGNANCY APP
This app will automatically appear on your pregnant Sim’s phone. You can see which trimester it is, know how big the baby is, receive advice based on the trimester, chat with future parents and through the “NooBoo Shop”, buy everything you need for the future baby.
NOTE: The Maternity Shop is an add-on for this mod and can be downloaded from HERE. You must have High School Year EP for it to work. In the Maternity Shop you can buy 12 different maternity outfits. Your purchases will go into your Sim’s inventory: when the outfit is worn it will receive a positive buff; if you want, you can give the outfit as a gift to another Sim or you can donate it to charity.
NOTE 2: With the latest update, you can call the Doula directly from the application. The Nooboo Shop has also changed a little: now, if you play with Pandasama’s Childbirth mod, you can buy everything you need to help your Sims face pregnancy and childbirth with complete peace of mind or buy what you need to organize a wonderful Baby Shower!
DOULA NPC
The sweetest doula, Juno Taweret, is ready to provide all the assistance that future parents may need. Don't be afraid to vent with her, ask her for advice or help, she will be more than happy to lend you a hand!
You can find the service on the phone, in "Household" category.
It will cost $250.
COMPUTER INTERACTIONS
Scared of childbirth? Simple curiosity? From today, via the computer, Sims will be able to definitively remove all doubts of how babies are born by watching videos of different types of births!
After a WooHoo session, Sims will be able to search for Early Pregnancy Symptoms online.
Once pregnant, they will be able to find out about the symptoms they may have during pregnancy. After each interaction, you will receive a notification at the top right.
If your Sims want to find out even more about all the changes they are experiencing, they can purchase a book, written by the most beloved of Doulas, from their computer!
If your Sims have done all the interactions on the computer (the ones when they are pregnant) and have read the book, they will automatically receive a new trait!
With the “Prepared Parent” trait, in case of future pregnancies, their needs will decline much more slowly!
NUTRITION PREFERENCE
By Shift + Click on Sim, you can assign them a nutrition preference trait. With the assigned trait, if talking about nutrition with the Doula, Sims will be able to get several buffs. These traits can be assigned/removed at any time.
MATERNITY SHOP
(High School Years EP REQUIRED)
From "My Pregnancy" app on your phone you can access the Maternity Shop where you will find 12 different outfits to buy.
All your purchases will be in the Sim's inventory: when the outfit is worn it will give a positive buff; if you wish you can offer the outfit to another Sim or you can donate it to charity (the Sim will receive a positive buff for the good deed unless they have the "Evil" trait, in which case they will not be very happy about it).
For those who do not have the required EP, they will still find the clothing items in the CAS.
Note: This module is now available separately for a better installation of EPI mod, you can download it HERE.
INTERACTIONS WITH CHILD
Pregnant Sims will be able to reassure their children!
In fact child Sims, when their parent is expecting, will be able to ask them various questions to try to better understand what is happening and what will happen with the new little sibbling!
INTERACTIONS WITH NEWBORNS
There are 3 new interactions with newborns:
-Sing a Lullaby;
-Smell the Baby;
-Look at the Baby.
The last two interactions will give buffs:
with "Smell the Baby", be careful to not run the interaction if the diaper needs to be changed... Sims may be disgusted;
with "Look at the Baby" if you play with the Parenting Styles mod the buff will change based on the parenting trait your Sim has.
Compatibility with Parenting Styles Mod
If you also play with the Parenting Styles mod, when your Sims are pregnant, you can take a test from your PC to determine what type of parent they are if they don't know yet!
The result is random but also based on traits the Sim already has: for example, a lazy Sim will never get the Athletic Parent result.
Parenting Styles mod is available HERE
Compatibility with Pandasama's Childbirth mod
By watching childbirth videos from PC, your Sims will now have a chance to receive this notification asking if they would like to give birth that way.
You can download Pandasama Childbirth HERE
“MY BABY” APP
/!\ From v.3.2 you have a cheat interaction to debug "My Baby App" in the case is not showing properly.
Now, when your Sims become parents, this new app will appear on their phone. Aswell, Doula and babysitter services will be available here.
You’ll be able to check out interesting info about your little one, buy everything you need for breastfeeding/bottle-feeding (this option will only appear if you also play with Pandasama’s Childbirth mod; otherwise, it won’t show up), and purchase books or anything else you might need during the incredible journey of parenthood.
NEW COMPUTER INTERACTIONS
NEW NEWBORNS INTERACTIONS & BUFFS
Sims can now trim their little ones’ nails (for those who don’t know, they grow fast and are really sharp!).
Check if the baby is breathing (yes, exactly — new parent anxiety takes over here).
Daydream about the baby’s future.
Go for a baby photoshoot (more detail about this below).
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve overwritten some of EA’s interactions. This has been intentionally doing, so when your Sims interact with newborns, random buffs might appear… I’ll show them to you in the pictures below:
INTRUSIVE THOUGHT
Horrible, absolutely awful intrusive thoughts… When you become a parent, those can show up too — so why not give them to Sims as well?!
They will appear randomly and for up to 2 Sim days after giving birth.
BABY PHOTOSHOOT
What better way to remember how small and adorable your baby was?
To go to a photoshoot, just click on the newborn and the interaction will appear.
A photo session will cost $150, and once you’re back home, you’ll find one of the following photos in your household inventory:
BABYWEARING
I’ll start by saying that I’m not very good at creating CC (so if any creators are interested in improving this part of the mod, feel free to get in touch with me!!). I made some CAS_parts for Sims, so they can babywear their little ones!
Of course, during this interaction they can do everything except sleep, bathe, or WooHoo.
To put the newborn back in the crib, just click on the bassinet and perform the interaction.
I also want to give a HUGE thank you to Pandasama, who is not only always incredibly helpful whenever I involve her in one of my projects, but also created a crucial script for the proper functioning of babywearing. In fact, without her valuable help, your Sims would have ended up babywearing newborn with a skin tone very different from their own baby’s.
