Summary
- Sims 4 players are frustrated with malfunctioning baby carriers.
- Some players have found alternative uses for baby carriers in the game.
Some Sims 4 players have become increasingly frustrated with the baby carriers in the game. While the baby carrier was added a while back in a previous Sims 4 expansion pack, there are still several problems with it that are making players annoyed with the item.
The Sims 4 has received a variety of content updates since the game was released back in 2014. A majority of these updates come in the form of expansion packs and allow players to experience all sorts of new content within the game, such as sending their sims to high school. One of these expansions, the Growing Together pack, gave players more options when it comes to deepening family bonds and connections. In this pack, The Sims 4 players are able to unlock the baby carrier, an item that allows adult sims to take a baby or infant sim with them in a backpack-like carrier. In theory, this would be perfect for allowing Sims 4 players to enjoy a variety of activities with their toddler strapped on their back. However, it seems that this isn't the case for many players.
Reddit user TotallyAMermaid recently pointed out several failings of the baby carrier in The Sims 4. They vented their frustrations and mentioned that no matter what they do they cannot seem to get their adult sim to leave the infant sim in the baby carrier. Other Reddit users shared similar stories and frustrations, with one user explaining that their Sims 4 infant had the snuggle sleeper quirk and preferred to sleep in a carrier. However, they could never get their infant to stay in the baby carrier long enough to fall asleep before their adult sim would simply remove the infant from the carrier, creating a never ending and incredibly frustrating loop.
Sims 4 Players Cannot Make Baby Carriers Work Properly
This isn't the first time that the Sims 4 fan base has been incredibly frustrated with the game. Most recently, Sims 4 players have been complaining about new ads within the game that advertise the upcoming expansion pack, Life & Death. The infuriating baby carriers are just another addition to the long list of frustrating bugs and glitches players experience within The Sims 4.
Although many players are frustrated with the baby carriers, some have found ways to actually make use of the item as it was intended. A few players mentioned that they use the baby carrier to take their Sims 4 infants out for power walks or jogs. Although some have gotten this to work, others mention not trying the baby carrier with other activities as it continues to frustrate them.
