Bringing a newborn into the world is a momentous occasion, whether it’s in real life or in the virtual world of The Sims. And of course, just like in reality, you’ll need a crib for your bundle of joy in The Sims 4.
Gone are the days of the Sims 3, where babies were left to fend for themselves in the most peculiar of places. In The Sims 4, you can interact with your little one to your heart’s content, despite the fact that they’re technically inanimate objects. Personally, I think the babies in The Sims 4 are cuter than ever before – those chubby little legs get me every time.
However, there’s still one glaring issue: the fact that babies are essentially tethered to their bassinets. But fear not, my fellow Simmers – with the help of custom content, we can break free from these virtual restraints and give our babies the freedom they deserve.
1. Stork Crib 2t4 CC
Have you seen the latest custom content for The Sims 4? The Stork Crib 2t4 CC is truly a work of art.
I’ve always been curious about why storks are traditionally associated with delivering babies. Wouldn’t a pelican or a friendly owl be a more fitting choice? But regardless, storks have become an endearing symbol of this special occasion.
And now, thanks to this custom content, we can give our Sims’ little ones a unique and secure place to rest their heads. The crib itself is held up by a stork figure with ribbons in its beak – a design that’s both charming and practical.
What’s even better is that the creator of this CC has managed to seamlessly blend it with the Maxis Match style of the game. It’s not always easy to find custom content that doesn’t clash with the base game aesthetics, but this crib fits right in.
Overall, the Stork Crib 2t4 CC is a fantastic addition to any Sim family’s home.
2. Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Crib
Take a look at the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Crib – it’s a custom content item that’s perfect for Sims parents who prefer a more traditional crib design.
This beautiful crib features a sturdy frame and a plush mattress, ensuring that your baby will have a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Even if you’re on a tight budget, you can still create a warm and welcoming nursery for your little one with this lovely addition.
Let’s face it – the default bassinet in the game doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. It looks like it could topple over at any moment! But with the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Crib, you can rest easy knowing that your baby is secure.
So if you’re looking for a custom content crib that’s both practical and beautiful, look no further than the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Crib.
3. Portable Crib
Have you seen this unique custom content item? It’s a portable floor crib with mesh sides that’s perfect for your little Sims to nap in and stay safely contained.
At first glance, you might mistake it for a kennel, but don’t worry – it’s definitely a crib for your baby Sims! It’s kind of like a playpen, but with a strict “no playing allowed” policy. After all, this is a crib, and cribs are for sleeping – although you might have to remind your little ones of that from time to time.
It’s strange to think that Sims don’t have a portable crib, especially since it’s such a common item in the real world. Of course, that would only be helpful if babies weren’t treated as objects in the game – but let’s not dwell on that. Instead, let’s focus on how cute and practical this portable crib is!
4. Crib On Ropes
It’s interesting to think about the history behind this type of crib. Perhaps it was a practical solution for parents who needed to work on their farms or in their homes, but still needed to keep their babies close and safe.
In any case, the design of this CC is definitely unique and adds a touch of rustic charm to any Sim’s home. It’s also great to see custom content that offers something different from the typical modern, sleek designs we often see in the game.
5. Animal Crib For Toddlers
It’s interesting how the game mechanics and features can affect the way players approach parenting in the game. While some may prefer the idea of their Sims’ toddlers growing up quickly, others may want to prolong their time in the crib or even have a special animal-themed crib for them.
This CC is a great option for those who want to keep their toddlers in cribs for a bit longer, while also adding a fun and whimsical touch to their room.
It’s important to remember that while The Sims is a game, it can also reflect real-life experiences and preferences. Just like in real life, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, and players are free to make their own choices based on their individual Sims’ needs and personalities.
6. The Practical Crib & Mattress
Indeed, practicality is important when it comes to parenting, especially in the early days when everything can be overwhelming. The design of this crib is straightforward and functional, which is ideal for parents who don’t want to fuss with elaborate or overly decorative furniture. The slatted mattress allows for proper ventilation and easy cleaning, while the thin legs make it easy to move the crib from room to room as needed. And the fact that it can be used with a mod to allow babies to actually sleep in it makes it even more practical. Overall, this is a great option for Sim parents who want a no-frills, functional crib for their little ones.
7. Cribs!
These cribs definitely seem like a great addition to any Sim’s nursery. I love how the designer has included both a standard size and a smaller version, giving players more options to fit their specific needs.
And with a variety of swatches to choose from, players can customize the cribs to match any decor style.
It’s always great to see designers creating and sharing their creations with the Sims community, especially as gifts to celebrate milestones like follower counts.
8. Default Bassinet Override
Hello! Let’s take a look at this CC that replaces the old, outdated bassinet in The Sims 4 with a more modern and practical crib.
It’s amazing how overrides can change things in the game to our liking, and this crib is a perfect example of that.
Created by Awingedllama, this crib is just the right size for infants and has all the necessary safety features, including high sides and a smooth mattress texture.
What’s great about this CC is that it doesn’t just get rid of the bassinet, it replaces it completely with a sleek and stylish crib that will fit in with any room’s decor.
You’ll have your choice of four different wood tones, each bringing out the beautiful wood design in the same way, so it always looks fantastic no matter the lighting or theme of the room.
Say goodbye to the old bassinet and hello to this lovely new crib!

With its distinct upturned base that resembles a sleigh, this crib is the perfect addition to any festive décor. Available in different designs, some with a textured wicker finish, and others with a soft cotton exterior, you can choose the one that suits your style best.

10. Owl Nursery Crib
Who says owls can’t be a part of a nursery’s theme? This adorable owl custom crib is perfect for those who want something unique and playful in their Sim baby’s room.
The owl design is cleverly incorporated into the crib’s structure, with each end mimicking the body of the bird complete with a cute orange beak and big eyes. Your Sim baby will feel snug and cozy inside this crib.
