Quadz!! my sims just had quads!!!...4 babies all at once. i think i'm going to need a really really big house!:bandit:
4 babies! Oh, no! I lose control when there are twins. I actually started yelling at the computer screen once-- "Stop whining and put the @#$% kids in their cribs. Then you can go to bed and sleep all you want." When ma and pa finally did as I told them (after holding their heads, groaning, wailing, even weeping) I had to exit the game, turn off the computer and go to another room to calm myself down .
LOL Lynet. We're cut from the same cloth I think. I get just as aeriated over my sims sometimes. It's a good job that I live alone because I have acted in a highly certifiable manner on occasion ...
lol i do it too. Anyway i had to go on thesims2.com to find a house big enough for my family.Its going to be hard to control them though because i only have 2 adults and 1 teenager. i think i'm going to make the little boy grow into a teenager faster. Anyway my sim had 3 boys and 1 girl. THAT SuX!!!
For some reason my Sims keep having baby boys...not 3 at a time though... I'm hoping the third generation will yield more girls (so far, not yet...my Sim replica's offspring had a baby boy -_-)
My third generation is all girls. Five of them. (Two of the girls were twins but by the time this set of twins was born there were plenty of people living in the house to help out.) I envy the two of you, Chee-Z and Babygirl, all your boys. It is so fun to watch the kids grow up. I like the teenagers best. They do fun things, like sneak out at night :bandit: , but they're not dependent on someone else to fix them a meal. College is interesting but they have to study all the time to keep up the grades and there are no weekends off . Babygirl, it sounds like you have 7 people in the house. Maybe there is a friend who's willing to move in and help out. I don't recommend the nanny. I tried that with my first set of twins, thinking to give ma and pa a break, but the nanny character locked up standing in front of a crib. I didn't know about the moveobjects cheat then so the nanny stood there until she passed out a few days later. I had to buy another crib. I couldn't afford to move out and buy another house. She woke up and left eventually, in a cloud of green mist. We had to mop the floor where she'd been standing, too . Mirelly, my face gets real red very easily and I get looks from my husband when I come downstairs all frazzled but I don't tell him that my little computer people aren't behaving. He'd tease me forever .
Yes, avoid nannies. Nannies are bad. College, I've found, is more fun if you are not a knowledge sim ... they tend to want to do their own homework to stay happy, whereas other types of sims can hand it off to a dorm mate. There was a blonde college sim named Ericka who willingly did all my handsome romance guy's homework and never even got a kiss in return ... she swooned every time he walked by, even before he got any charisma, so I figured she was a good patsy ... I also like to send one person through at a time and just stay with that person till they're done. I did move Marla Biggs in at the last minute as a kind of placeholder. It was fun giving her a makeover. She's a hippy now and looks a lot cuter. She gets to use my sim's stuff until one of the kids goes to college, then it's back to the bin with her ... that way I keep all my money and the swanky room I furnished, the bubble blower, the electric guitar, and the telescope too ... by the time the third or fourth gen goes to college that dorm's gonna be luxurious. Guess Marla's doomed to be a perpetual college student ...
I found a great way to keep nannies occupied. Just go into buy mode and turn the fridge around so it faces the wall. That way the nanny can't set fire to house trying cook food no-one's ever gonna eat. She definitely won't pull out the makings of a lunch and then leave it to go swimming and then return and get some more stuff out before leaving that as wll to go get the baby. When she does go get the baby to force feed it she will become perfectly occupied until momma or poppa returns home. The stupid old bag will just keep picking up baby and then discovering to her horror that the fridge cannot be accessed (I am reminded of Douglas Adams' description of a sheep's amazement at finding grass at its feet ... and then again ten seconds later and so on ad nauseum throughout its tedious life). If you're really lucky the daft old bat will finally lose interest in the feeding baby because she'll have more pressing matters of a bladdery nature to attend to ... shake that foot madam!
The same thing happened to me. My semi-Legacy sim will not stop sprouting out boys (that gives me a weird image of how the reproductive ways of humans might have evolved. What if, indeed.) and everytime I force her through a puke-filled pregnancy, I keep praying for a girl. And yet, all I get are boys. Chinese people are supposed to want boys in their family. I hate them. I want a girl! GIRL, GIRL, GIRL! SUCK IT UP, SARAH, AND KEEP CHUGGING DOWN THAT ELIXIR OF LIFE! YOU CAN HAVE 30 BABIES, FOR ALL I CARE, AS LONG AS THERE'S A GIRL SOMEWHERE IN THERE! By the way, I made my Legacy sim (no longer a Legacy) a somewhat replica of me, so....now I feel even more awkward.
LOL 123 ... haven't you heard it's the father who determines the gender? Seriously, sounds like that house is stuck on "boy" much like a house I have is stuck on "twins, boy first." Maybe you should give up on her and move to another household that's more girl-friendly.
I have been thinking of making a new "Legacy" family because I hate the one I have now, I got off on a bad start on it.
Save right before Sarah goes into labor and then if she pops out another boy, exit without saving. Keep doing that until she finally has a girl!
