Transcript below the cut:

Asher: You’re in bed early. You okay? Atlas: I’m fine. Asher: Are you still angry? Atlas: [shrugs] Asher: Do you want to talk about it?

Atlas: [sighs] I just don’t understand why Ezra was involved in conversations about our babies. I don’t want him brainstorming names or anything else. It’s none of his business. Asher: I know. I promise, I tried to change the subject, but Spencer was so excited, and I think he was just trying to connect with her.

Asher: That reminds me, though; can I tell you an idea I have for a name? It’s not on her list yet, I checked. Atlas: Sure. What is it? Asher: Do you remember that graphic novel I made? Atlas: Of course. It took two years before you finally let me read it.

Asher: Yeah, well, it feels really vulnerable, like letting you read my journal or something. Lex is the only other person that’s read it, and that’s only because she was there through it all. Atlas: Well, I feel honored that you trusted me with it. Asher: [chuckles] You should. Atlas: So, what does this have to do with your name suggestion?

Asher: Do you remember The Boy’s name? Atlas: Um, hold on, let me think. You don’t mention it til the end. Asher: Right. Atlas: Don’t tell me. Asher: I will be offended if you don’t get it right. But no pressure.

Atlas: SIMON! His name is Simon. Asher: [smiles wide and nods] What do you think?

Atlas: Sadie and Simon. I love it. Asher: Feels right, doesn’t it? Atlas: It does. Asher: I can’t wait for them to get here.

Atlas: Me neither. You’re gonna be the best dad. Asher: So are you. I love you so much. Atlas: I love you too.

Asher: Does this mean you’re not mad at me anymore? Atlas: I’m not mad at you; I just need to know you’re on my side. Asher: Always. For the record, I did try to give him the cold shoulder, but he’s surprisingly friendly. Atlas: I’m sure he was on his best behavior. Trying to impress the family or whatever. He’s so fucking manipulative. Seriously. He’ll turn you against me the first chance he gets. Asher: Let him try. It’s not possible. Atlas: How can you be so sure?

Asher: I’m sure because I know you far better than he does.  I know your heart. And I know your mind. [smirking] And I know your body. I love you. Every part of you. Inside and out. And there’s nothing he can say or do that will ever change that.

Atlas: I love you.

Nostalgic glimpses into that run down childhood home, that never seemed to be so run down when you were a child. Back then, it was all you needed: Those fall afternoons watching the game on TV with dad or those summer days, when the old fan couldn't do anything against the heat in the living room. All those barbecue-nights and mum used to wear her 4th of July outfit every summer.

Coming back into your hometown now - years later - you can't help yourself but to realize how sordid everything seems to be. How come, that this place used to be your whole world? You used to call it home once, now it's just a sad place with sad people. Is this, what growing up is like?

lap reading for infants & reading while infants nap on laps

download on patreon (early access) (public release - 02/28/25)

this mod adds two new interactions with infants:

sim reads a book to an infant sitting on their lap;

sim reads books and boosts skills while an infant naps on their lap.

requires the xml injector base game compatible

here's a look at the full animations:

male sims have the same animation, with a slight adjustment in leg position. both actions require a nearby couch, bench or living chair.  I didn't make the page-turning animation. i hope you don't mind — it would have made the process 10 times harder...

the books appear automatically. this is what a children's book looks like inside:

the adult book features cover art by illustrator daniel stolle. the children's book's exterior texture is artwork by ekatamandalIllustration. the children's book's inner texture features artwork by e. bauman and a. arinushkin.

lap reading

to start "lap reading", go to the "friendly..." -> "activities".

after the activity, both the adult and the baby gains increases in their "social" and "fun" stats, plus the following buffs:

reading while infants nap on laps

for this interaction, head over to the "baby care" menu -> "give baby a nap while reading...". you'll find several options here.

the "give a nap while reading fiction book" option only adds 'fun'. the other options add a smaller 'fun', but they help develop various skills (skills are only from the base game). the baby gains increases in "social" and "energy" stats.

after the action, both the adult and the child receive the following buffs:

note that 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.

i tried to make the action work for toddlers too, but i haven't figured out how yet. these interactions, like my previous mod "take a nap with infant", are based on the "give infant a nap" action. adapting them for toddlers requires deeper modding knowledge. i hope that either i or someone else in the modding community will figure out how to make it work in the future.

please let me know if you run into any issues while using the mod. i'm always happy to help, and your feedback is incredibly useful for fine-tuning it 🤍

i'm really proud of this mod! it's not perfect, but i'm happy with how it turned out, and i hope you find it both useful and fun.
