Build the Crib! – Baby On The Way Part 2 (Amazing Sims 4 Mod)
As part of my Baby on The Way series, I created a brand new mod called Build the Crib. This one has been in my head since I started to work on the series, and I really wanted it to feel meaningful for storytelling. Your Sims can now actually build the crib for their baby addionally to my first proposal to use poses to tell your stories.
This was honestly one of the most challenging things I’ve worked on a while. Getting the tunings, object actions, and states to behave exactly how I imagined took a lot of trial and error. There were moments when I thought, “Why did I decide to do this?” 😅 But I didn’t want to release it unless it worked the way I wanted.
The good thing is… the result is very nice. Seeing a parent Sim putting the crib together before the baby arrives adds so much emotion to the whole experience. It feels more real!!
This mod requires The Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack to work.
It is not an override but I made changes so the original Parenthood object is not affected.
So technically, children can build the crib too if you decide to let them. That wasn’t really my original intention, but honestly, it’s a small compromise to keep everything working properly, and I’m okay with that.
The option to build the crib as a couple is available. However, in some situations you may notice a bit of clipping with the crib. It doesn’t break the interaction, but visually it can happen depending on positioning.
The fully functional crib is included as a separate item as well, so you can place it directly if you prefer without going through the building interaction.
I also want to give a huge thank you to my friend PandaSama. I asked so many questions about tunings and object actions. I really appreciate the support.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed finally seeing it work in-game. Let me know what you think, and please share screenshots if you use it in your saves. I can’t wait to see your nursery stories!
