Are your virtual newborn babies awake for 16 hours straight, laying in a crib and staring quietly staring into the nothing? Do they do nothing much but eat and sleep, when realistically they should be doing MORE sleeping and MORE eating?

Now your babies can eat and sleep at the pace of real babies!

This was originally a personal mod, but I thought it would serve others well. The babies'll get hungry roughly every 3-4 hours, and their waketime ranges from 1-4 hours depending on where their energy bar's at.

I tried to keep the patterns broad enough to reflect any baby under 1 year, with more plausibility for newborns. I didn't make any changes to bladder, hygiene, or social, since I felt those weren't as glaring.

Tested using Nraas Relativity at speed 28, but should work as intended at other speeds. Feel free to tune the values further yourself in S3PE if you feel it's not working right for you.

I like combining this with Nona Mena's breastfeeding mod and TheSweetSimmer's More Baby Interactions, so you have (more) ways to feed your baby and get them to sleep when you want to.

Will conflict with any other mod that modifies the Motives or the Sleep_0x084c686e55f33d35 XMLs.

I use this mod personally along with Nona Mena's No Academic Performance Decay (Slower Decay variant), so I've provided a second option that integrates these two mods if you do the same.

My Sim's baby just aged up into a toddler, so I might make a toddler variant sometime.
