Kris, not only didn't the baby regenerate. the one other time I did this to a good husband and dad and he has never showed up again either. I was assuming that this was a result of the jump bug.... forgot about not have more than 6 on a lot. probably why Latte had to die. move_objects on (select object) delete right???
Yes, this is correct, weird though how your sim didn't reappear after going out of the lot and coming back in... I used this last night to fix my stove that had been caught in a fire and had gotten stuck. But again my pregnant female sim died of what appears to be the choking death... so again I didn't save. I'm now going to try creating a live in nanny for the household that can permanently watch over my pregnant sim and plead for her life if necessary. My sims fiance was asleep when it happenened this time. If I don't manage to get it right this time, I guess its meant to be, and I must just try to carry on.
i thought it was "move_objects on", delete, click deleted sims icon again. or was this sims 1? i forget.
I have no idea what y'all are talking about ... regenerating babies? disappearing sims? This is what comes from playing with hacks, I suspect ... Make sure that live-in nanny is friends with your pregnant sim or she might not do a very good job of pleading.
Maybe, I guess thats what you get for living on the cutting edge of techjmpnology (maybe thats spelt awesomeness).? Well i'm going to try the live in nanny thing, but i'm not sure how much time I will have to build up a relationship... I've never tried to plead with the grim reaper before as all the sims that I've had die in my game were either from old age, or I was planning on them dieing... Wish me luck..
LOL sbw. Most of us have had baby become "stuck" somewhere, somehow. It's not caused by hacks its a glitch (or a bug depending how antipathetic you feel toward Maxis at the time you relaise you're in the doo-doo). The standard advice in such circumstances is to use the moveobjects cheats to enable deletion of the baby (or any other non-responding sim for that matter). Afterwards the game should be saved and reloaded, because deleting a sim from a lot does not erase them from the files so they will be "regenerated" upon reloading. (A side effect of this is that they come back with all their meters in the green ) However it seems that poor Michelle has found that the advice has failed her and the baby disappeared for good.
Pancakes are evil. They look so delicious and inviting. Then you wake up next morn, and WHAMMO! You've gained 10 pounds! Anyway, I can't believe I missed a whole week of forum fun. I was in PA, without a computer. Onto the subject, my simbabies always deform their parents when it's time for their birthdays. Mom comes over to pick her up, then she decides she'd rather have a toaster pastry. She makes her way to the refrigerator, but then Dad wants to help the baby with its birthday as well. He walks over to Mom and reaches through her abdomen to grab the baby's head, his arms grow into tentacles, Mom's head jerks to the side...It's all too painful to describe.
I've been cranking out Sim babies for the past two weeks, and it's almost become methodical. I have them grow up a day early, have a parent take the baby to cake at 6pm sharp. God...so many dirty diapers...and the crying... And that's just in the house with twins. Thank god they're kids now. Unfortunately, mommy dearest is having another on the way...darn Family Sims. Same household I mentioned above was a guinea pig for a live-in nanny. So far Garrett recovered from his funk, having someone keeping the twins busy and happy while he sleeps before the late shift at work. I'll be darned if the parents wanted to be friends with the nanny right away. Though my mistake was to make her a knowledge Sim...now Nanny Johnson goes to work as a paramedic in the mornings while Garrett sleeps. Then when she's home she cooks, cleans, tends children, and plays chess and bass in her freetime. Go figure. :ermm:
I thought I was getting a little bored with the game but I realized I'm just exhausted. It's tiring playing them when there's SO MANY BABIES. It's hard not to be running around taking care of them all the time but I found (out of sheer weariness) this week that as long as they get their bottles nothing much else will kill them. So they don't have a lot of charisma and their meters are barely green and all the toilets are clogged and the little noogins just love to splash in the dirty water, whatever. As Roseanne used to say, "If the kids are still alive at 5 o'clock, I've done MY job."
LOL you guys, and welcome back 123. I know it's a bug; I just exited without saving, but I've never "regenerated" anything unless that's gamer talk that I'm just not hip to ... I haven't had to use any boolprop, ever, though I was tempted when that cow got stuck in the dormitory. I know where you're coming from Jiko, that's part of the reason I left my old sims neighborhood behind, too many $$*!) babies to raise and more coming with all the family sims I had in college ... and I'm so anal retentive I can't allow even my laziest sims to be deadbeat parents so it's all just too exhausting. Small neighborhoods, small families, no family sims, that's the key to peace ... I want several (small) generations. To me that seems the most fun. So I'm working hard on getting those kiddies grown up and having their parents form their own Peyton Place alliances and enmities ... it's like a soap, only I suspect I have a ways to go before it rivals anything 123's come up with. Deformed parents, aliens and all ... And of course I have resist crazy urges like "create the entire cast of Friends and be really really mean to them ..."
I did that with the main cast of that dreadful Bernie Mac Show. I played them as I wished it would have happened in the real show. The woman (what's her name) has broken up with Bernie, and married Mortimer but then I killed him as if she did it (Cluedo flash!!!). She inherited the money and she's evil. Meanwhile, at the main family, Bernie moved in with the Broke family (he's, or was, married to that woman) and was caught cheating with Kaylynn. He was kicked out and appeared on an empty lot, where his family he left behind was. All of the kids wanted popularity but their asperation meter was always at the bottom red. The therapist came way too often and I deleted it, as well as the social bunny. Controling a crap family is so much more entertaining than a fortunate family!
