This is a Maxis Recolour which means that it is a recolour of an item that already exists in your game. Please check the Expansion pack requirements to see which game pack it recolours.
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Expansion pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS2 - check the sidebar.
This is a new mesh recolour, and means that you will need to download the particular mesh itself in order for this to show up in your game. See the Meshes Needed section or read the text for more information.

Updates: 10-12-2011 Updated the changing table in the BASEGAME download files to be, well, base game compatible. The AL nanny fix was causing the game to freeze so if you experienced that issue please re-download the base game files and replace them with the new, or allow the new files to overwrite the old ones--which ever is easier for you. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for the heads up, 15pupmaus49. Much appreciated.
10-12-2011 Updated the changing table in the EVERYTHING download files to be Seasons compatible. If you have Seasons and you want the outerwear options to be available on the changing table please re-download the EVERYTHING files and replace them with the new, or allow the new files to overwrite the old ones.
10-12-2011 Provided an additional changing table to support those with the Seasons expansion pack but not Apartment Life. If you have Seasons and want to have the option to plan or dress your toddlers in outerwear you need to download the SEASONS file and allow it to overwrite the changing table that comes in the BASEGAME files.
10-12-2011 Animation fixes added for those without the Oh Baby! store items. If you're experiencing a problem with your sims putting the baby on the ground instead of in the baby dangle or the bouncy chair you need these files.
10-13-2011 Updated The Baby Dangle to allow it to be placed everywhere, like the crib or couch, without cheats (moveobjects on) instead of just on the changing table.
09-26-2012 Looking for recolors? Spacedoll recolored these in pooklets colorsat GoS and Siofra did them in iCad's & Piggi's Holiday colorson their Dreamwidth. If anyone else has recolored these or knows of someone who has let me know and I'll be sure to include yours as well.
There are tons of really amazing nurseries for the Sims 2 already but when I saw these beautiful crib and changing table combosI thought I could find room in my game for a few more pieces. Especially if those pieces can be mixed and matched with the existing Base Game or Free Time nurseries to create a variety of new looks for a small amount of additional resources.
Haffa Crib Catalog Description:
With its space saving design and timeless style the Haffa Crib is a beautiful addition to any nursery. For the complete look don't forget "The Other Haffa" Changing Table.
Modified Maxis meshes and textures.
Slaved to The Kinder Kontainer.
Master to "The Other Haffa" Changing Table, The Baby Dangle, The Bouncinator 3500 and the Four Corners Activity Table.
"The Other Haffa" Changing Table Catalog Description:
You would think that half of a changing table would cost less...
Modified Maxis meshes and textures.
Slaved to the Haffa Crib and The Kinder Kontainer bedding.
Catalog Sort:
General/Child - $400 each
Features:
Base Game Compatible
Space Saver - Crib and changing table combo only take up two tiles instead of the normal four. You would need four tiles for the Jack & Jill setup pictured though (2 cribs and 1 changing table) since the crib by itself is larger than 1 tile.
The Baby Dangle Catalog Description:
A fun, interactive toy for baby that clips onto "The Other Haffa" Changing Table. WARNING: Baby Dangle is not safe for balconies.
Modified Maxis meshes and textures.
Slaved to the Haffa Crib and The Kinder Kontainer.
Catalog Sort:
General/Child - $100
Features:
Height Adjustable - It's positioned to fit the changing table but the height is adjustable so you can move it anywhere that's routable (a crib, couch etc.) and it'll still work. Basically, it functions as a cute, comfy place to store baby where they can play with their toys and nap so you don't feel like a neglectful sim parent.
If you really are a neglectful sim parent, or maybe just a fertile one, you can stack babies to the ceiling or squeeze a bunch into one crib using moveobjects on.
***Requires Apartment Life***
The Bouncinator 3500 Catalog Description:
Keep baby entertained for hours with The Bouncinator 3500! You won't hear a peep out of them.
Maxis mesh and modified textures.
Sound fix provided by Havelock @MATY.
Slaved to Haffa Crib and The Kinder Container.
Catalog Sort:
General/Child - $100
***Requires Free Time***
Four Corners Activity Table Catalog Description:
Sharp corners are our specialty!
Modified Maxis meshes and textures.
Slaved to The Kinder Kontainer and Haffa Crib.
Table top mesh modified from the Mere Folly nursery set by Kate @parsimonious.
Catalog Sort:
General/Child - $400
Animations:
There are small (I think small) animation issues with almost all of the set; the most noticeable having to do with the changing table and The Baby Dangle. Babies and toddlers are slotted above the surface of the changing table in order to stop their heads from clipping and depending on the camera angle it's more or less noticeable. Sims also fumble around with the baby putting them in and taking them out of The Baby Dangle but it's far less noticeable in normal game play than the original animations (sims bent over to pick the baby up off of the ground).
I tried my best to adjust the meshes, align the slots and switch out animations in order to get the best results but these are far from perfect. Even though I'm really happy with how these turned out I know everyone's tolerance for imperfections in their custom content is different so I uploaded a short video on YouTube so you can get a better idea of how these animate before you download--I'd hate for anyone to be disappointed.
Recolors:
All of the pieces in this set have two separate, designable subsets. The bedding is slaved to The Kinder Kontainer base game crib and the wood is slaved to the Haffa Crib.
I originally planned to slave all of the wood to the Free Time Good Times changing table but because that set only has one subset, numerous duplicate wood recolors showed in the catalog for mine so decided not to. As a result, you can use the exact same texture that's used for the Good Times changing table to recolor the Haffa Crib and vice versa. In addition to the Free Time wood colors that the crib mesh comes in I've included a bright white recolor with a glossy finish. You can't really see that much of a difference in the pictures but it's a much better match for the base game pieces (and most of the CC nursery pieces I have) which don't have as much shading and texture.
Recommended Mods:
None in particular this time but if you haven't been, Inge Jones has some really wonderful mods for babies at simlogical under the Sims 2 Child Care section.
Terms of Use:
As always, you're free to use anything of mine however you'd like including for your own projects.
Polygon Counts:
Haffa Crib
Faces: 2032 (EA's 2846)
Vertices: 2578
"The Other Haffa" Changing Table
Faces: 1129 (EA's 2840)
Vertices: 1423
The Baby Dangle
Faces: 1474 (EA's 1405)
Vertices: 1454
The Bouncinator 3500
Faces: 1368 (same as EA)
Vertices: 1295
Four Corners Activity Table
Faces: 1796 (EA's 1460)
Vertices: 1813
The polys are a little high for the 800 polys per tile rule of thumb but they're well in line with the equivilant EA meshes--over 2,000 polys less actually--which is about right since there's 2 fewer tiles. So while these aren't low poly meshes they shouldn't tax anyones computer that can run the game.

"Animation fixes added for those without the Oh Baby! store items.

If you do need the animation fixes you'll find them under the download tab labled, HW_nursery_ANIMATIONS-FIX.

Mousemoo, you need the animation fixes I mentioned above.
I dont have the garden expansion stuff and im trying to combine the cribs in a jack and jill style. Any tips? pleaaase and thaank you (:
I Love these by the way! and i would love to use them for my twins!
StrayKat, if you've never used cheats to decorate your best bet is to search for a moveobjects on tutorial--there are a lot out there that will give step-by-step directions with pictures. If you're just having a hard time lining up the cribs using the snap objects to grid cheat, try placing a tile down that's divided into four sections. The grid from the tile makes it much easier see where exactly you should be placing your objects in order to line them up.
Mine doesnt work it comes up with a word document even though i have downloaded and have the sims 2 disk
Hi I'm sorry you're having problems installing this and I would like to help you but I don't have a clue where you're going wrong. MTS does have an excellent tutorial on installing CC though so you might want to give that a try. Just read everything and take it step-by-step and you should be good to go. Here's a link to the custom content faq so you don't have to search around for it:
Thank you, I really love this set!! I just bought a new computer and having to do over all my custom content for Sims 2... =/
But finding this set has made it all worth it!! Love =D
amazing set. i've been trying to re-create the image you have in the overview with the beds either side of the changing table but have been unsuccessfull. can you tell me how this was done? congrats on the awesome set though. it really is one of my favourite downloads.

Thank you, it makes my day to hear it.
If you don't have the quarter tile placement that came with M&G you'll need to use boolprop snapobjectstogrid false and moveobjects on. Place a crib and changing table like normal and then place the second crib to the right of the changing table. Activate your cheats and move the crib on the right towards the left until it matches up with the changing table. There's a 1/4 tile gap between meshes so if you're having trouble lining up the crib and changing table you can use a floor with small tiles as a guide. Use boolprop snapobjectstogrid true and moveobjects off to deactivate the cheats. I hope that helps.
i have no idea what is wrong with this download! When i try to make my sim put the baby on the other half of the crib to make it play with the dangler, my sims just put the baby in the position you put them in a crib! and the swing, same thing! is there a way you could help me fix this bug??!!!!
Hi i loove the set but when i played everything acted fine except for the bouncinator there was no animation to it when i played it. But other than that i loved it.

Hi rosie, I'm happy you like them.
Did you mean sound instead of animation, though? EA disabled the sound on their originals and after playing these for awhile with the sound on I understood why--they were extremely loud and easily lost sinc with the animations so I disabled them again. If you did mean the animations don't work then I hope you post back so I can help you getting it working.
the problem is that when i put my sim on the bouncilator 3000 is it just puts it on the floor and it says error occurred with this objects and it says cancel reset delete.. same with the danglemonster but gj sorting this out, but you could update it.
Hi Kelly
In order for the toys to work you need to have Apartment Life and the animations fix if you don't have the original Oh Baby! store items. If you have both of those things and they still don't work if you attach the error log I'll be happy to look into it.
