Games Like IMVU With Virtual Babies? (Excluding Sims, SL, Habbo)

Short answer: No mainstream game combines IMVU-style avatar chat with a dedicated pregnancy/baby-raising system. Here's why, and what comes closest.

Why It's Rare

Moderation nightmare: Simulating child-rearing in an anonymous MMO invites predatory behavior, COPPA violations, and legal liability.
Design complexity: Meaningful baby mechanics (feeding, teaching, aging) require persistent simulation—expensive for servers.
Demographic mismatch: Avatar chat platforms target teens/young adults; parenting sims target older players.

Closest Alternatives

Game	Platform	Baby/Parenting Mechanics	Social Focus
IMVU (Roleplay)	PC, Mobile	None official. Players roleplay pregnancy/birth via chat & custom animations.	High (Avatar chat)
Avakin Life	Mobile, PC	No baby system. Marriage & pets only.	High (3D chat)
Second Life (Excluded per prompt)	PC	Full mesh pregnancy/baby systems via user-made attachments (e.g., "Mama Allpa," "Zooby"). Adult-only regions.	Highest (Sandbox)
Stardew Valley (Co-op)	PC, Console, Mobile	Marriage → Pregnancy event → Baby (toddler max). No aging further. Deep farming/life sim.	Co-op (1-4)
BitLife	Mobile	Text-based life sim. Detailed pregnancy, parenting, grandparenting. Single-player.	None
Tomodachi Life	3DS	Miis marry, have babies (cutscene), raise to child. Quirky, not realistic.	Local/StreetPass

Creative Workarounds

Discord + Forum Roleplay: Structured text-based family RP with rules, dice, shared docs.
Tabletop Simulator / Roll20: Play "The Sims" or "Kids on Bikes" TTRPGs with friends.
Roblox: Games like Adopt Me!, Welcome to Bloxburg, Family Life have baby/pet adoption & raising. Younger demographic.

If you want IMVU's aesthetic plus parenting, your best bet is Second Life (with Zooby/Mama Allpa) despite your exclusion, or a private Discord RP group.
