lanlynk thank you for watching the video and your comments and the link to your comment.
I've never played with those dolls once they become live. I've discovered they live in the Homeless Sim's household. I discovered this because sometimes they move around the world before they are made live by the player. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if they are intended to do that.
I totally stopped playing with children for a few years before I got mods in my games because the family trees kept breaking.
I find this new forum impossible. Firstly because I often can't get into it. Logging in often doesn't work for me so I just try again next day and the next and the next until I finally get in. Then I can't find the end of the thread I want to post to. So I just post in some random spot and wonder if anyone ever finds or reads it. One day I'll take the time to read some information EA has posted about how it is supposed to work. I haven't tried to find out how to post pictures yet, but I do see there is a camera icon in the bar at the bottom of this post so I suspect I need to click on that to add a picture.
I am happy we can at least still send messages.
