Everything Sims 2

This set contains two custom objects, modified versions of the store baby items, recolors of maxis nursery items, and two global mods (see part 2!). The maxis recolors include crib, changing table, potty, high chair, activity table, teddybear, and of course the store baby items. The custom objects are a baby monitor, and a crib mobile.

The Baby Monitor:
A. // Screaming baby wakes up parents: The baby monitor consists of one transmitter that you put in the nursery, and a receiver that you put in the parents room. If turned on, the receiver will wake up parents if the baby wakes up and starts screaming.
B. // Check baby needs: The baby monitor has a pie menu option that if selected brings up a dialog listing the exact motives of the chosen baby.
C. // Scan baby needs: here are two versions, detailed scan and generic scan. Both are optional. Object will only scan if you turn on the function. If enabled, it will check all babies present on the lot every 30 minutes and use dialogs to notify you if there is a baby that is in need of care. The detailed scan will check the baby’s energy, hunger, social and diaper status, and notify you which one needs fixing. It does not check bladder or hygiene, it checks if the diaper is soiled. The generic scan checks the same things, but doesn’t tell you which motive it is that needs fixing, just that the baby needs attention.
D. // Pregnancy bump fix: If you play with extended pregnancies or short rotations and you visit a lot of community lots, you’ve probably experienced the problem with pregnant ladies in the background suddenly sporting a third trimester bump even though they are only in second trimester. It’s possible to fix it in SimPE, but closing the game just to fix that is rather annoying. No more!

The transmitter and receiver are both found in general/child, and they both cost 100 simoleons. The interactions to check needs, scan needs and fix pregnancy bumps are only available on the transmitter. The receiver is only necessary if you want to use the wake parents function.

Modified Baby Store Items:
With these versions of the baby items, babies can no longer fall asleep while sitting in them. In the dangle master, babies will occasionally stop playing, close their eyes and just lie there. This is part of the animation and can’t be fixed. But the baby is only resting, they aren’t actually sleeping and won’t gain any energy from it.

There are two mods, breast feeding & bathing changes diaper.

Breastfeeding– This mod is a plugin for existing mods that enable breastfeeding either from Boiling Oil or Squinges or this mod won’t do anything. It is a plugin that functions a global mod that overrides the motive part of nursing code, changing the effect breastfeeding has on motives on both the baby and the nursing Sim. The original coding nursing only affected the hunger and comfort of mother and hunger of the baby. This mod drains the bladder and energy while giving comfort. in Squinges/BOs versions the baby does gain a little comfort, and both baby and mother get a little social, but it’s very slow. Squinge also did not change the original hunger setting, and while things do take longer in Sims than it does in real life the time it takes to nurse a hungry baby back to full hunger is kind of ridiculous.

If the baby soils their diaper while being breastfeed, the interaction can get stuck in a loop where the interaction continues but hunger stops increasing which means it never stops on it’s own. This is benign, you can stop it by cancelling the interaction, but if you don’t notice it Sims will just stand there pretending to feed for hours.

Change Diaper– Uses a fresh new diaper when you choose to give your baby a bath after soiling themselves.
