We sat down solely with 'The Sims 4's' Lead Infant Developer to learn the way infants differ between the base sport and the 'Growing Together' expansion pack.

The group in the back of The Sims 4 workforce despatched shockwaves through their fanbase after they introduced that infants have been coming to the sport. Then, in the wake of that thrilling announcement, they teased the "Growing Together" expansion pack, a family-focused pack that enthusiasts have been begging for for years. Now that both the base-game update and the expansion pack are to be had to the public, fans cannot get sufficient of the latest (and second-tiniest) individuals in their Sims' families.

However, while infants have been added to the base game, you could also be surprised to be told that they'll behave differently if you have the "Growing Together" expansion pack put in. What's up with that? Well, we spoke completely with The Sims 4's Lead Infant Producer, Graham Nardone, to get the scoop.

'The Sims 4' "Growing Together" will utterly transform your infant gameplay.

The new "Growing Together" expansion pack introduces a number of new options to toughen your circle of relatives gameplay, and that extends to infants. Milestones will lend a hand you keep track of your Sims' particular moments, Family Dynamics will trade how they have interaction with one some other, and naturally, new items, interactions, and a new lot sort will give you lots extra to do along with your infants.

However, apart from the obvious additions, the pack will basically trade how your infants develop.

Lead Infant Producer Graham shared that, with the base game, you have "All the basics that you would expect to be in place. You know ... being able to go into Create a Sim and create an infant from the ground up, clothe them, give them personality traits, bring them into Live Mode ... being able to experience a lot of the basics that you would expect for any age, whether it's caring for their needs, managing their emotions, building sentiments, and forming attachments with other Sims."

However, "For players who want to go deeper into that experience, that's where they're really going to love what 'Growing Together' has to offer," he informed us.

Base-game infants will start out later in their construction than their "Growing Together" opposite numbers.

One primary distinction in the infants between the base recreation and the pack is in how temporarily they expand. "The way I try and explain it to people is, you know, in the base game, you're gonna get an infant who has the abilities of approximately an eight-month-old," Graham shared with us. "So, think about how different the experience is going to be where, in the base game, your infant can already crawl around; they have some basic mobility to start exploring and getting into trouble."

On the other hand, "Growing Together" infants will have a much more seamless transition from newborns, in keeping with Graham: "With 'Growing Together,' your infant actually starts out with the abilities of a two-month-old. And they go all the way up to 12 months." In different phrases, your Sims will actually have to position in some paintings to lend a hand the household infants to totally broaden. "Your infant actually starts out fully immobile; they have to learn to sit up and rollover, and they can start doing basic butts scoots to get to things very close in range to them. But it changes the whole evolution of how you play with that age."

Essentially, while you're able to play with infants if you have the base game, they're going to take much more time, effort, and involvement with the "Growing Together" expansion pack. While this may increasingly look like a large number of pointless work to some, others would possibly feel that their game is incomplete without it. So, if you assume this new existence level might be an important part of your gameplay, you may wish to imagine purchasing the pack if you haven't already.
