raising SEVEN sims infants all at once 

I wanted twin science babies but only got one so I immediately got a second one and it turned out to be triplets. So I ended up with quadruplet toddlers and ALL FOUR of them had the aggressive quirk and were constantly just kicking and biting and hitting everyone and everything. I added a sim to my house to be a live in nanny/maid and I would not have survived otherwise

In my 100 babies, I learned that except for superefficient baby care (which is so useful to avoid dirty diaper), you cannot, absolutely cannot cue up several interaction if you do not pick up the infant first. My sims just sit down, watch the infant and cancel their interactions. But if you cue up pick up, feed, diaper change, and put to bed, it works wonders.

Petition for Kayla to age all the infants up and do 7 toddler challenge to see how easy it is compared to infants 🤣

A surprisingly useful trait for challenges is dance machine. The sim has a disco nap option which raises sleep up really fast but only takes as long as a nap. As long as you have a radio in the living room for them to dance to, it's great

Infants are easier with no changing table and no crib. The cribs have become the new high chairs and it is so much easier to let them sleep on the floor, and the changing table just takes so much longer than the change outfit animation

i recently figured out why sims pick up the babies for no reason so much. the infants have an interaction that doesn’t show up in their queue but if you watch them you can see them calling for their parent. it happens especially with pets because the infants ask to be set on the floor so they can sleep beside the pet.

Fun fact: The sound of babies crying is used in psycological torture!

Now try seven cats.

another day, another video of Kayla calling babies “it” 😂😂

Kayla, literally a third of the way into the whole video: "maybe it would be best if we just _nearly_ starved them all instead of feeding them regularly" Absolutely in love with this energy

Now I really wanna see these kiddos grow up, they deserve to make her life hell as toddlers too

As an irl infant nanny to twins, Kayla going “this is fine, totally manageable” then IMMEDIATELY changing to “everything is terrible” is highly accurate for multiples 😂

Beth’s first word was “help”

i love the thumbnail, because it only fits 6 infants, and Kayla being the 7th head, implying her to be an infant

I literally just had my worst experience, where my sim got pregnant and had twins. But the day after she got pregnant, her husband got abducted and also got pregnant. So I had 3 infants at once, which is hard by itself. But their quirks were Isla: aggressive, destructive, picky eater Indy: picky eater, hates bedtime, gassy Isaiah: hates bedtime, loves water, hates being carried So on top of them being glitchy in general, I had so much refusal to eat and sleep. I just had to age them up early because I was literally starting to hate them.😂

Im currently doing the decades challenge with 5 kids all aged below the child stage, farm animals, simple living & off the grid lot traits-- it is TOUGH out here (I highly recommend decades challenge if you wanna do a new legacy series tho its so fun)

“It might be best to almost starve them” -lilsimsie 2023

(make 7 separate infant rooms, place in each room a playmat: infants won't wake each other up)

Honestly, with the way a single Sim acts around multiple infants, it makes me always wish to have one at the time or age them up faster. I wish that would get adjusted a bit, there no reason a single infant needs the attention of all the adults in the home at once.

Love that you rather put a second bathtub than a bed for the trapped Nanny 😂

kayla: omg who would even want to try this challenge me: making a family of one mom and 7 infants to try this challenge

Kayla not only put her irl self through this but also her in game self 😂

One year later... "I'm doing the 7 infant challenge again."

The way you know Kayla isn’t a nurse or in retail is when she says the “q” word or any indications of things being peaceful or silent 😂😂😂

I think the technique can be improved by starting the feeding cycle right at the beginning. Immediately when you start the game, feed and then carry inside. Even if they are pretty ok. That way, you spread out the hunger levels between them and the chaos might not be as bad.

You can age up Infants from the pie menu if it is their birthday, you don't need the cake.

7 infant challenge in an apartment with a parent w/ the high matinence trait xD

The check infant interaction has given me ptsd, it breaks up my perfect que and I have to start again.

I just had triplets in my werewolf legacy challenge (I have the "on ley line" trait because I think it fits) and they are Impossible. I can't imagine having 7

The way you described your Sim having a queue full of tasks, wanting to do them all at once, not knowing how to proceed, and just standing there is the ADHD experience

Pro tip : Actually control your simself because you can cancel check infant interactions that quene up every time infant is upset that way your sim actually might do what you want her to

ok, I tried this challenge back when it came out too and I discovered a couple things that made the challenge easier. I feel like it was easier than the seven toddler challenge, even. I gave them each other own tiny room because I knew one crying would make all the others cry too. I mainly kept them in their crib. I did not add a changing station because they take up too much time and add problems. Doing it the base game way was quicker and infants got put back in the crib automatically instead of laid on the floor. I just periodically fed them and changed their diapers and took naps as frequently as I could. I never woke up a sleeping infant even if their needs were yellow. They won't starve, just let them wake up on their own before feeding them. I did hire a nanny, so maybe without the nanny I would have fallen apart. I also hired a personal chef at one point so I didn't have to waste time making food. I do consider myself lucky that the AI didn't cancel out any of my actions and my sim followed my orders. I only had to use directions from the infant's point of view if I wanted the nanny to do something since I couldn't control her. My sim was able to keep her needs up since I felt that she had a bit of spare time. She took showers and watched comedy TV to keep her fun up. Near the end, though, she started going to sit on the couch before she could perform any action which was annoying. I'm proud to say ALL of the babies aged up with the top notch infant trait!

The way i cackled when the nanny grabbed a slice

This is why i was never on the "better babies" train. Stuff like this happened in the sims 2 all the time. Seems like you have to play with autonomy off for the adult sim to do what you're cueing up.

i recently started a save and i thought it would be fun for the Main Character Sim to have twin siblings. it was not fun. infants are so stressful and then they grow up into still-stressfull toddlers... by the time they're kids and therefore actually managable, she'll be long moved out and theyre so glitchy too!! my sims constantly teleport around when they take care of them and today when their mom was tucking the in she did it through a wall. THROUGH A WALL.

I've found that it helps to queue things multiple times if you want the sims to get it done, in the event of constantly picking a baby up/down and not doing what I said to do.

I LOVE YOUUUU YOU GOT ME ENJOYING THE SIMS EVEN MORE ❤

Thanks for your videos lilsimsie, they are such a cozy thing to look forward to. Happy holidays!

Idk if you're going into this with money limitations but if not my biggest tip: *Put the babies in separate rooms.* They don't have to be like completely separated they can be right next to each other in small rooms but put a wall. One of the biggest issues is one crying and making the rest cry just because they hear crying. The sim responds to crying. Some of them don't need anything they're just crying. So separating them helps the sim focus.

I think this challenge would be easier if the kids were split up into separate rooms or rooms with 2 or 3 only in them. Might make it easier to keep the sim from trying to autonomously queue up stuff for the other kids

Omg, Lilsimsie is CHAOS in the sims!

Your shirt is so cute!! Adorable daisies ❤

Not once have infants ever worked for me. The game doesn’t let me feed them so I instantly age them to toddlers

most ethical family youtube video

So one thing I learned about infants and how it decided their age up trait. It is all purely based off how the infant is at the time it ages up. If everything is in the green it will most likely get the best trait, if it has needs in the red it will get the bad one. So if you want the infant to age up well, get all the needs in the green and age up. I only learned this after I super cared for a kid and it only got Happy infant, I started experimenting in other save files after that and figured that out. Also a lot of actions get cancelled with infants because they decide to sleep. The game is super flawed in this way as it choses sleep over everything else.

I've had five infants at once. It was a nightmare with the parent Sim constantly picking them up randomly and ignoring the ones I wanted her to feed/change. I couldn't do it without travelling and leaving them all to go to daycare. They make toddlers look easy. :) If the infant has a stinky diaper when it ages up to toddler it will keep the stink as a toddler, child, etc. I found that out when I had several infants and left them alone awhile. They became children and one kept having the stink no matter bathing, changing clothes, etc. I had to reset him back to infant, change the diaper, then age him back again.

This sounds so chaotic from the beginning 😭

The infants are so frustrating in this game

My name is Ally, my aunt’s name is Beth, my BIL is Ethan and my good friend is Fran… lol this challenge oddly hit close to home for me 🤣

Yay! Simsie posted!😊❤

7:19 “i wouldn’t be laughing if i were you” im dead

Thank you for finally figuring out the doing everything with one pick up thing. 🎉

i love this colour on kayla!

I LOVE YOUR VIDS SO MUCH OMG

I once raised 12 infants at once. For the first time ever I was hyped to have toddlers

I think you should prove to us that a 7 toddler challenge would be easier by doing one with these exact Sims

I hate how the sims team gives us something super nice only for it to be glitchy af. Like, here take the nicest phone ever, but it’s screen is completely shattered but oh it’s fine.

honestly the easiest time I've had raising an infant in the sims was in my household that had a butler. i would constantly have the kid ask him for help instead of her parents and it worked perfectly almost every single time!

When I did this challenge in Sims 2. I built the babies sleeping closets and the goal was to touch each baby once. So they'd get a bottle, a cuddle and a diaper change before putting that kid back down. I think the play mats tend to add to the routing confusion with the Sims placing a infants. Watching you do this is making me tempted to try the challenge in Sims 4.

did you get a new camera? looks great!

I used to work at a daycare and often times had to take care of 4 infants at once all by myself and this video gave me flashbacks lol

The building blocks are useful to get their fun level up

13:59 lil simsie saying this then cut to Kayla's "very angry" face 😭

Hahah i work as a daycare teacher and this exactly how it is. So stressful and crazy!!! But super adorable

Good to watch another of your videos

The buffet table always reminds me of the Grimm fairytale "Tischlein deck dich".

i was just playing with my sims who had two infants at the same time and it was horrendous. i had the parents and one set of grandparents living there and i couldnt manage lol especially there were some glitches (one was the infant not being able to go to sleep/stay asleep). they didnt leave the lot for days

Just dumping the baby on the ground for no apparent reason? Good to see that they brought at least some things forward from The Sims 3 for the life stage. :P (though, seriously, "infants" when they're THAT old? It should be Infant (the basinet object) -> Baby -> Toddler) EDIT: It would probably make it too easy (relatively speaking), and probably make for a more boring video, but perhaps try the challenge again with Autonomy off...

5:40 this is me but with homework and life stuff in general 🥲

Now THIS is the most relatable video I've seen. I tried doing the 100 baby recently and had 4 infants at once...the glitches drove me insane

I don't normally play with kids. I just don't prefer it honestly. If I do I almost always start with them being teenagers 😅 I had my sim get pregnant by her husband thinking she'd only have one baby.... She had triplets.... I cried 😂

Question is brewing and drinking coffee too time consuming compared to sleeping? I tend to keep my sims well caffeinated 😅

The way you call the babies “it” 😂😂😂😂

i remember back when the infant update came out, i had just decided to start a new not so berry challenge and since mint gen has triplets i decided to start the challenge with three infants instead of babies and OH BOY IT WAS HELL

Wait this house layout is actually so genius

This is so relatable right now, my sim just had her second set of triplets 🥲

At 15:31 the child sounds like it is throwing up 😂

I never used the earbuds thanks for that great info 🙏🏽❤️

That is so cool to know about the ear buds!

Personally when I had 3 vampire infants I turned off autonomy for that life stage so my sims only did what I asked 😅

I am a sims 3 player way more than 4, I didn’t play the infants update but with the Black Friday sale I bought growing together and decided to give it a go. My sim had twin infants along with a toddler and I thought I wasn’t going to make it out alive 😅😂

This is the same sims family that Simsie did with the 7 infant challenge she did back in May with Momo and KandidlyKayla. I hope that this fairs better than what happened back then. I don't get why Simsie loves to make herself miserable to entertain us, but it is funny. Love the daily uploads and her twitch streams so much.

The infants are such a good example of the sims team just not caring when features don’t work. I always have to hire a nanny and lock them in the bedroom with the infant or else it literally takes over all the other sims lives due to the bugs

Make your sim a disco sim. She can take disco naps after every round of feeding to keep from passing out. Disco naps are more effective than sleeping and reg naps.

I recently started growing my first family in the game, i wanted to have 3 - 4, i was good on my firsrt kid, but at the second time around, i ended up with twins. I was already struggling t maintain two adults and the newborn, and having 2 more in the houe was just...😅 i applaud those who try the 100 baby challenge 😂 me with 3 had me pulling my hair out.

" a few of these kids are actually not dirty! this is amazing!" the kinda sentences i hope to hear related to the sims franchise only xD

was doing a personalized version of the black widow challenge and my sims first kid was...quadruplets...! so i had four infants... i hired a nanny, befriended her, and had her move in- i don't think those kids would've survived otherwise 😭 more than half of the challenge here is just trying to get the adult sims to listen and do what you tell them the number of times ive had them put a toddler in the high-chair only to spin around and take them back out, like can you... CAN YOU JUST LEAVE THEM. IN ONE PLACE. FOR A MOMENT.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY UR AWESOME KAYLA

I find that the easiest way to avoid the bulk of glitches is to always operate the caregiver and not the infant (the only exception being when I tell the infant to use their diaper for strategic diaper change timing, lol). I also always make the caregiver pick up the infant before telling them to do anything else and give them commands one at a time. It's tedious and it isn't foolproof but it's the best method I've come across. I just finished an abbreviated 100 baby challenge (I only went to 26, for each letter in the alphabet) so I'm definitely ready to be done playing infants for awhile!

oh my god all the kids are pooping there pants! this is a disaster! XD this had me in stitches XD

Omg wow that a lot but nice video keep it up girl your the best tech me lot more than I ever had know good luck with it

I'm on my second round of 100 baby and I never bathe my infants, if you change the diaper+ clean on the sink 2x they be clean as if they took a bath and doesn't take longer. I've also realized if you select for the infant to use diaper while the bladder isn't red, the chances of blow out is little.

Oh no she’s doin it again😂😂😂😂

I love that you bought a second bath tub instead of getting the nanny a bed 😆

As a fellow intense Fran I feel so seen ❤

This is honestly one of the most chaotic sims challenges.

Does anyone else want Lilsimsie to do every room is a different pack challenge but you can’t use that pack. It would be so fun.

I can't even handle two infants 😅 also random thought has any of you sims died from laughter

I can't even lie I cheat the infants needs in my game so much

My sims have never used the back carrier for the babies! Where do you find that item?!!! 😅✌🏿
