Hope you all are well!😊

This week I finished adding sound and IK (inverse kinematic) to the bed birth animation, you can see the sims hands now move accordingly to where their body is.

I also worked on making the hospital early labor interactions available at home

Sims can now perform the breathing exercise on the bed

They can also sway with their partner

take a walk


Back massage and exercising on the birth ball are already interactions that you can do at home so I didn’t have to do touch these interactions.

And that’s all I did this week. I know it doesn’t look like a lot because unlike new animations, most of what I did were back-end stuff that I don’t really have a way to showcase visually. But back-end stuff is just as important as animations and is crucial to making a mod.

Next week I will be working on the dilation system for when your sim is giving birth at home, I will also be making moodlets that shows up during different stage of early labor, so it looks like I will be doing a lot of writing. 😅 if you have any ideas for what type of moodlets you would like to see feel free to reach out either in the comments or through dms. I’m not the most creative person when it comes to writing so I appreciate any help I can get!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Stressed/worried, sim thought process of maybe home birth was a bad idea, what if somthing goes wrong along those lines... also more interactions for the birthing partner like giving options to tell laboring sim to breath through contractions or somthing along the lines.

Hiii, love you work. <3 wondering if you are aware with the mod conflicting with other mods that extend length of pregnancy ??

It would be amazing if there was some way to have sims choose if they want a home birth or a hospital birth, and if they end up giving birth at the one that they did not choose being stressed/anxious/afraid. Maybe also if you have woohoo wellness and they did not want the pregnancy (but decided to keep it) being stressed/worried about the birth. I would LOVEEEE for the birthing partners to have as many interactions as possible with possible for both situations as far as reassurance goes, and maybe if the pregnant partner lays down on the bed, they can lay next to them, and comfort them. My sims with into labor at the same time and they both laid down and took a nap together. I thought that was sweet.

So many people suggesting that sims feel tense/anxious during birth…as a midwife, I can say it’s usually the total opposite when someone chooses birth at home. They’ve made that choice with all of the facts, and often feel more at ease at home because birth hormones flow better in familiar, safe environments. I would love a ‘home sweet home’ moodlet that is relaxed - ‘(sim name) feels safe being in her own surroundings/home where she can move freely, and is supported by the people she loves’ or ‘(sim name) is so relieved to be at home amongst her familiar things; it is helping her body to feel relaxed and safe as it works to bring her baby in to the world’

Id love if we had randomized labor per sim, like how some mods add like complications per sim, some people naturally have quick births or high pain tolerances so i think something like this would make it unique as well, as someone with ADD, when i had my first child 2 years ago, the experience was pretty calm, i was contracting the whole time without realizing it, i never felt pain pain, but after almost a day i was getting ANXIOUS, that would be a great moodlet with the length of a long birth. Maybe intense contractions make you nauseous, with bust the dust maybe a dusty home gives you anxiety while doing a at home delivery, craving during labor, maybe a bath can give your sim a relaxed during labor mood.
