Baby quest
Posted: 23 Aug 2018, 03:20
New players can't just buy a cradle and start having babies anymore. It now takes a time limited quest to unlock. The prize is the cradle. Got this info from a new player. You can start it whenever you want, once you are at the level that unlocks babies. To have the baby quest, first you have to buy the changing table. With the sim you want to have the baby selected, you tap on the changing table to start.
Your sim needs a partner and must have a high enough relationship with another sim, I think level 4. Your sim can be friends, flirty, even rivals. Your sim does not need to be married. Even if they are, you can have baby with someone else! It is really best if you are at level 10 in the relationship when you do the baby quest. If you have story events still unfinished, when you are trying to do the baby quest, the game sometimes won't let your sim do the next quest task until you do the next relationship task first. This happened 3 times to Catharina! It means it's really hard or impossible to finish the quest in time without using lots of cupcakes.
Speaking of cupcakes, it's good to have some saved before you start as it can be hard to finish on time unless you are really on top of things and start each step as soon as the previous one is done.
A note about times listed. All tasks without times are just seconds to complete. Also, your partner for the baby can be a NPC sim (yours or someone belonging to the game) another player's sim, or another of your controlled sims as long as you have that high relationship level. The times listed are if it's not another of your sims as a partner. You can speed up by helping and/or cupcakes. I believe if you do the event with 2 of your sims, the time is half as long, and you can use both sim's energy, which would make it much much easier. So you might want to consider using two of your sims for the baby quest. I believe (haven't tried myself) when you actually have a baby, it doesn't have to be the sims you did the baby quest with.
You will have 3 days.
The tasks are:
1. Discuss plans
2. Create baby wish list
3. Complete budgeting event @ home with partner or family 8 hours
4. Call friend and tell them
5. Baby Talk event @ home with friend 8 hours
6. Take a Baby care class @ hospital with partner or family 8 hours
7. Pick baby name
8. Save up sleep
9. Babyproof home event @ home with partner or family 8 hours
10. Adoption event @ Civic Center with partner or family 8 hours
11. Read "The Hungry Llama"
12. Baby 101 Class @ hospital with partner or family 8 hours
13. Browse dream nurseries.
14. Baby proof home event @ home with partner or family 8 hours
15. Agree with partner
Now you get the cradle and can have a baby (random gender, sim and partner wahoo 30 minutes) or adopt ( choose boy or girl, sim and partner stand by cradle for 30 minutes.
You do not need the venues unlocked to do the events at them. Note if they are still locked, you can't do anything there after event ends, even tap on your partner for next event. Catharina's sim's partner was a NPC and was king of stock at the Civic Center. WHLhat worked was sending co trolled sim home and calling partner there.
