take a nap with infant
Added 2024-11-15 01:47:31 +0000 UTCupd. 2/26/25: small update for the new patch! please download the latest file and replace the old one.
this mod allows your sim to take a nap while hugging the infant.
requires the xml injector
base game compatible
a new action, "take a nap with baby," is available in the "baby care" category.
to use this action, have a sofa or living chair nearby. when you click on the action, the sim will automatically go to the appropriate object to start the nap.
here’s what the full animation looks like:

please note, there may be a small clipping issue at the beginning and end of the animation.
male sims have the same animation, with a slight adjustment in leg position.
buffs:

if an infant has the "hates being carried" trait, they will not receive the buff. similarly, an adult sim with the "hates children" trait will not receive the buff.

It doesn't need to be extracted since it is not a zip file. Just drag it into your mod folder. :)

2025-09-27 20:46:47 +0000 UTCcould you please explain where exactly you see the message “bathtub is required”? do i understand correctly that the interaction appears in the game, but when you click on it, it doesn’t work?

2025-09-22 21:41:48 +0000 UTCI've have this mod in my game but it wont let me use it. its say it requires a bathtub. Is something conflicting with it?

2025-06-11 11:34:25 +0000 UTCFor anyone having trouble: it doesn't seem to work on the modular sectional from Dream Home Decorator. I haven't tested everything, but it seems to work fine for every other living chair, sofa, & loveseat. Also be sure you're looking in the "Baby Care" menu.

2025-05-01 20:04:47 +0000 UTCi’m sorry, but i’m not sure what else to suggest :( if you’ve made sure that xml injector is installed and cleared the game cache, the mod should be working… i wish i could be more helpful!

2025-04-21 01:49:43 +0000 UTCHi, I tried everything you recomended but this + Reading to an infant dont work for me i have all your mods but this two just dont work. Any Tipps? I really want this to work..

simkatu
2025-04-05 15:42:14 +0000 UTCsorry to hear that! first, i’d recommend checking if you have the updated XML Injector file in your mods folder. second, try clearing your game cache (just delete the “localthumbcache” file from your “The Sims 4” folder). and lastly — make sure the interaction isn’t being blocked by the infant already sleeping or being in a crib, since it won’t show up in those cases. i really hope that helps! and i’m so sorry for the late reply 💛

2025-01-28 16:07:35 +0000 UTCtried to make it work for toddlers, but i couldn’t manage it. it worked for infants because i based it on the "give a nap" interaction. i hope to figure it out someday and make this interaction work for toddlers too, but as for napping with two infants – i honestly don’t believe i’ll ever be able to pull that off...

2024-12-27 19:09:58 +0000 UTCthat’s so sad to hear! most of my mods rely on the xml injector mod, so please make sure the script file for it is in your mods folder. also, ensure that script mods are enabled in your game settings. you might also want to clear your game cache if you haven’t done so in a while – sometimes that helps fix issues for me

2024-12-21 19:30:57 +0000 UTCi’m so sorry to hear that! please check if you have the latest version of the xml injector installed (the link is in the post). since my mod uses xml, it shouldn’t conflict with other mods – the code is specifically designed to add a new interaction. also, please note that the mod requires the growing together expansion pack to work properly 💗
simkatu
2024-12-21 08:39:01 +0000 UTCyes, it works like napping for adult sim too!

simkatu
2024-12-10 19:27:17 +0000 UTCunfortunately, the only way to check for conflicts is by testing mods one by one, adding them back slowly. for now, the main thing is to see if my mod works on its own. try running the game without any other mods first. you could also try clearing the cache — i’ve had cases where the mod started working after that

2024-11-18 01:01:07 +0000 UTCi accidentally send the last comment before i was finished, sorry i would also love to see a sim be able to feed an infant baby food whilst sat on a sofa or bench. i would love to see an infant and parent be able to take a nap in a parents bed or bond as in just lay there and interact with eachother, blow rasberries ect. and mostly i would love love love to have sims be able to build skills by reading skill books wilst holding a napping toddler or even by watching the tv! again these are just suggestions i thought i would throw out there, i love all your mods thank you so much for bettering the game for us :)

2024-11-17 00:32:27 +0000 UTCi have been wanting a mod like this for so long thank you so so much your incredibly talented!
