[Sasukhan]

It's me again with another question :)

I accidently adopted a child, and the service is bringing the baby over tommorrow (sims time). Any way to stop it?

Your only option would be to quit without saving. Sorry!

[Sasukhan]

But if i treat the child badly, will the service come get him/her?

[Sacharissa]

Yes - but then I don't think you can adopt again. Also, if there are other children in the household, I think that they weill also be taken away.

[surprised_by_witches]

Yep, you'll lose them all, never be able to adopt again, and know that you were a bad sim parent to boot.

I think your best option, if it's too late to quit without saving, is to treat it like an "oops" baby and make the most of it.

[Sasukhan]

I've treated it badly, and it got picked up :) Didn't have any other kids anyways, and im not considering adopting either, so its all fine now.

Can you get pregnant without trying for a baby ?

[Sacharissa]

I believe that there is a very slight chance that your sim could get pregnant without selecting the "Try for Baby Option." There are also hacks available that increase the chances of an "oops" baby.

[surprised_by_witches]

I think the only way to accidentally get pregnant is through use of a hack. I've never had it happen to my sims.

[Jiko]

Even 'try for baby' is based on chance. You have the highest chance if woohooing in bed, second highest in a hot tub, and the smallest chance in a public place like the dressing rooms. Sometimes I've had to try three times in bed to get pregnant. Unlike real life, where it happened the first time.

I hope you are not alone :eek::rotfl:

[Jiko]

I hope you are not alone :eek::rotfl:

If I am, think of the implications... you knew I was perfect, didn't you?

[Ruzz]

I had the same problem lol. I put the baby outside the house and locked the door to all sims ^_^ Didn't want no adopted kid, was already planning to get married and have my own.

[fuzzy_ferret_luver]

Ummmm...
How did you accidently adopt?? You accidently clicked on the phone, then accidently clicked "Adoption Agency", then accidently clicked "yes" when they asked if you were sure? I'm confused, maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't see how one could accidently go through all those steps...

As soon as you click on Adoption Agency on the phone list, assuming you have enough money, haven't lost a kid to a social worker before, and have at least one adult in the house, the game thinks you want to adopt and doesn't give you the option to click "no, I don't want to adopt!" That's something that Maxis should probably change!

So if you meant to click on repairman and then accidently moved your mouse right before clicking and end up adoption agency you'll have a baby/toddler/or child on the way.

[fuzzy_ferret_luver]

Oh ok, I guess I'm thinking about something else. Sorry :-X They really should change that though...

[Jiko]

I don't agree! I like how easy it is. I think it is a little too hard to get pregnant in the game because it's a little too hard to woo-hoo (compared to real life). So I think it's good to be able to adopt so easily. I have made the call impulsively and then regretted it, stuck with a baby, and it's a little like impulsive woo-hoo, don't you think?

[surprised_by_witches]

Wow. Are we playing the same game? :p

I've had sims get pregnant on the first date. Guess that says a lot about me, huh. :o

But I agree, a "no, I changed my mind" option wouldn't hurt when calling the adoption agency. You get one for a bloody pet, after all.

And the thing about sim pregnancies is, they're enough of a pain to act as a kind of birth control. Much like in real life.

because it's a little too hard to woo-hoo (compared to real life).

We had words for girls like you :p

*Spits out the sour grapes* (I'm just jealous :rolleyes: )

[Jazz]

Jiko's a girl? are you serious?

[surprised_by_witches]

Nobody knows.

Except, presumably, Jiko.

[Mirelly]

Maybe I was angling for clues ... :rolleyes:

[jupitershana]

Jiko's a girl? are you serious?


I thought you were a girl for the longest time... :eek: For some reason Jazz just sounds like a nickname for a girl... ;)

[person123]

When I first joined the forum I thought Jiko was a guy, but then he/she made a few posts that changed my mind, but then he/she started sounding like a guy again....:confused:

[Odinmoon]

Now I'm confused :confused: I thought Jiko was a guy and 123 was a guy. :eek: Thats why when Jiko said one time about sims quote "I was trying to get pregnant" Well that through my joke down the drain. :rolleyes:
Oh by the way I'm a girl :D Just kidding.:cool:

[person123]

*Checks* Nope, I'm a girl. Been one for the last fourteen years, as far as I know. :)

[Jiko]

boy - girl - such small categories.

[Mirelly]

Absolutely, Jiko. You swimming the channel, btw?

[Odinmoon]

Mmmm Swimming the channel?. I know thats like internet surfing, but you do it with tv. :D

[Jiko]

Mmmm Swimming the channel?. I know thats like internet surfing, but you do it with tv. :D

uh, no... I'm swimming. The Channel. Long distance.

[Mirelly]

Which Channel would that be? Some wussy bit of warm water or the ship infested 21 miles of freezing, tidally insane, water we call the English Channel (the French call it La Manche for reasons that no one cares about :p )

[Jiko]

Which Channel would that be?

There is only one True Channel.

[Odinmoon]

Yea Channel No5 :D
