Sims can only have children via the time machine
« on: August 30, 2012, 11:38:44 AM »
Hello all; I've been having this issue for a while, and I've searched on the forum, but haven't found anything. . .I have a Sim couple that I've been playing for quite some time, and when I was playing them in Sunset Valley (v. 2.0) they successfully had two sets of twin boys.  When I downloaded Union Cove, I moved them there (just the couple; the boys were all grown up at that point), and ever since, they cannot get pregnant!  I'll have them "Try for Baby" in bed, in the shower, in the tree house, and most recently in the sauna, but they always end up standing up in different rooms afterward, like the action isn't completed.  The only time they have successfully procreated has been if they "Try for baby" in the past in the time machine (they have done this twice now).  Other Sims have been able to successfully get pregnant, and I have moved this family to a new Union Cove, and also to Sunlit Tides and the issue still occurs in these new towns.  I have also tried resetting both Sims multiple times with no change.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Any ideas for what else I could try?

They don't woohoo at all at the Try for Baby command?  Have you tried resetting them?  It could be a glitch in that file.  Maybe try starting a new game in Union Cove and place them again and see if you have the same problem.

They start to WooHoo, get part of the way through the animation, and then end up on opposite sides of the room (or in different rooms altogether) just standing there.  I did try to start a new game in Union Cove, and in Sunlit Tides, but it is still happening.  Yes, I've reset them both several times with no change :-/

I've learned to live with it, because they can still have children to a degree, but they come out as teenagers, so I miss all the baby/toddler/child years. . .

If it matters, they are both young adults, and have taken the age-freeze potion, so right now they are helping to raise their great grandchildren (this is my work-around to get my nooboo fix :))
