Adoption Service I am adopting 1 toddle 1 child and 1 baby. So far they have all been brown toned skin. Is that all the kind of babies the lady delivers. i havent had a light skin toned baby.
And your point is? It's completely random. My avatar sim was adopted. But I really don't see what difference it makes.
I've only adopted once. And I had a black toddler-boy. Well, nothing wrong with that I think. He didn't need to look as his parents, as they were two homosexual men, one of them "my son" from when I played my very first family in Sims 2. With my bf and me as the Parents. It's just that this boy has lightblue eyes, and *that* really annoys me actually He looks weird, I'd never make a sim who looked like that.
The game just generates a random child with random genetics. Maybe the game is "stuck" on one certain genetic type. Look in the children's personality, are they the same sign? Do they have the same personality spread? Do they look like siblings? To prevent this and to prevent it happening with in-game born children, it is helpful to go into CAS after you 1st boot up the game, generate a random sim, then exit out of CAS without saving. It needs that little "reset" to keep it from getting stuck.
I've only adopted twice since I got the game (and the third time I made a sim child, got her taken away by the social worker, and made my fave family adopt her) and both times they've been a dark-skinned boy with blond hair. Weird.
I've adopted a few times, all of them were dark skinned. They also looked Indian. I ended up giving Winry custom dyed hair, Feye a cowgirl hat and Narc a fro.
I've adopted a few times. It can be more fun than having the baby born into the family. None of that barfing business. In Dear Emmy, Esther was adopted and lightskinned but generally the children are darker, and because the genetics are so random they end up looking exotic and quite beautiful when they grow up. I always start thinking about what the human race might look like in the distant future if we don't kill ourselves off. In the beginning, in my ignorance of the game, I thought I'd eventually be able to adopt Marsha the Pest. I guess, with cheats, I could do it now but that's a plot for a different story.
Oooh, I hate that child. One my sims has an outing group that always includes her. He's made a point of never talking to her. He's not big on kids, anyway, but if they don't actually meet she can't call ...
I've adopted Marsha into one of my families before, using the tombstone of L&D. She's just as big of a pest once she's a teenager, but she does make a pretty girl. I haven't sent her to college yet. I actually ended up adopting all of the neighborhood kids into a "children's home" which then turned into a "center for runaway teens." Cut down on all the surpise guests getting off the bus. Is there a hack that prevents that? I really don't enjoy those pesky children hitching a ride home with my sim kids.
There is a hack from TwoJeffs (MATY) that gives you a pop-up where you can choose if you want the kid to get off the bus with yours or not. You can even chose if you want your child to get the 20/20 relationship score or not based upon the way you answer the pop-up.
I am. I even made an Elric family...I made the parents from scratch and downloaded and altered the brothers to see fit. Though at one point I had Inuyasha and Cowboy Bebop characters in Nirvanaville as well but that didn't turn out so well (Feye was supposed to be Faye (Valentine) but I forgot how to spell her name at the time of adoption...and I was still recovering from World of Warcraft (Calypsofeye) )
My adopted babies don't come with names...I'm confuddled now 123, do yours? Or do toddlers/children come pre-named? I've only adopted babies before.
First of all, it's avatar. Secondly, I've already answered your question in a different thread. Constantly asking the same question is the fastest way to annoy the moderators. Check the answer there. I believe the thread was called Smart Milk.
Well, it's that way in real life, too. If you adopt a newborn, the adoptive parents usually get the joy of naming a baby. If you get a toddler or child, they already have a legal name. If you choose to change the name, it must be done legally. I believe that's even true with international adoptions, but I'm not sure. My aunt and uncle adopted a toddler from South Korea. They kept his Korean name as his middle name, but named him Jason. He's in his early 20's now, and a pretty cool guy. Got his Korean name tattooed on his shoulder, one of the most beautiful tattoos I've ever seen.
Real life: adopted two of my three children, 9-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl. Both had names, obviously. Boy had a family name and we kept the middle as his first, gave him new first and last name. (Later, using the family name, we found his parents! He hadn't been an orphan after all. Long story of dire poverty and war in third world country...) Girl had been named after the young nuns who cared for her, so we changed both names without a backward glance; found as a newborn, no family name. Sim life: I resent not being able to rename all adopted kids, so I only adopt babies. Since I don't really care if they're smelly and sort of hungry and unskilled, they don't add a lot to my troubles. I like pregnancy, though, because it's a surprise - you never know when the baby's coming and it can be inconvenient. And I love the way everyone, including visitors, keeps going in to look at it in the crib. "viewing baby" - sweet. Right now I have newborn Dolly with Loretta and Mooney Lynn. I'm working on a 'little bit country, little bit rock-n-roll' thing with their neighbors, the Rutles.
