babies and spouses.
I married with Arlo and I decided to have a baby to test this new function.
here is what I think about...

baby is alike pets. feed, talk, that's all. No kiss,no hug,no change layers. Baby go to bed itself. stay alone at home.
Spouse looks baby same he's looks pets, thinks " what's this?" don't care,never.

what I think about this? babies and spouses options would be better in dlc, more thorough.
I think game is far to be finish!

Excuse my english, cause is not my maternal langage.

Let's not forget that poor Arlo like the other NPCs can only do what we programmed them for. It is up to the dev to deepen their possibilities of actions, reactions and conversations. Everyone differently of course to keep their personal and unique character, it's work added for them (Dev)
That is why I would see more romance and children in DLC where they can be more worked and everyone will be able to choose what interests him. For the time being, the latest additions seem to me a little bit, to meet the demands, but with a huge potential to dig.
I also hope that the child is expected to grow up because I don't see myself giving him the bottle forever!

I agree with you, its sadly no deep feature right now. Really wish that the spouses would react to their children, that we can take them with us even when we are outside or interact with things. That we could make our own milk and that they would play with their toys.

Its just strange to see a few days old baby going around the house, getting into bed themselves and otherwise stay completely alone the whole day if you need to do stuff. It just feels quite unrealistic.

The same with the baby not growing up. I honestly dont find fun in having another "pet" going around that need their one food per day and maybe one talk and otherwise its just there.

Please expand on this feature devs :)

Where do you think Arlo's parenting chip should be shoved? .......

Why I say poor Arlo? well, Arlo actually make me hungry, cause he's never at home and not cares to me or baby, that's right! but seriously,who can say here,He or she has a spouse who cares to the baby? Love story reactions are in our mind...lol
poor Arlo cause everybody loves him and everybody hates him.that's funny.

indie.

I don't imagine Arlo good father and tender spouse, he's alike a bear,lol.
I don't know what I want about his actions. I let the dev create the surprise!

Does Arlo give you a gift for your birth? He does!:steamhappy:

I want to get to know Arlo so I can pawn him off on Nora.
Mint is my go-to hubby. He wakes up, goes to work, comes home, sleeps.
Ergo .. I HAVE a child ... Mint.

Arlo is a hard worker, but I think he romances romance too much .. if the posts here are any indication LOL

Maybe if he could have a baby with Nora he'd stick around? @@

I agree myself. I have 1 baby with Arlo, he did the same thing, and I divorced him, why cuz he did nothing what he promised me. I am thinking he wanted me home with a baby to keep me without gifting or doing other commission with other males period. He never held the baby only in photo when click on baby photo he was there, that was it. he left early in the morning, when he use to stay awhile but he splits and comes home at 23:00, I hardly saw him.

and carrying for a baby that does the same thing daily is boring and boring. there is no connection, there is no communication between spouse ! and feeding the baby isn't cheap, and there is no clothes, I was thinking Carol would make the clothes, I agree it is not finished by far, if ppl want baby they need option of this and that, you can take the baby outside, but as soon you touch say example the horse or husband the baby back into the house.

Paulie excepted me and my baby for now, we just got married on the 24th Summer, so it only been few days. I loved Arlo but he &&&&&&&&& up!
Lmao. Godamn he's a horrible father.
