How I deleted a twin Baby without a mod

The bad thing about deleting a sim like that can corrupt your game save. I learn this the hard way. Personally what I would do would be to move or merge the unwanted sim into another household. Then for story purposes, I would say that the parents gave up the child for adoption and another family took them in.

When Lablue talks about deleting sims, she means by testingcheatsenabled true and ctrl alt deleting the sim.
The only non-cheat way I know of is kind of mean, but just ignore the sim and let the social worker take it, I believe they only take the neglected child.

Does going through Edit Town to split the household so that one of the babies lands in another not work without mods? Does it work if you shift an adult sim along with them and then later move the adult back to the original household? It's possible that NRaas Mover is providing this functionality, but between that and other methods I've seen for a very long time that babies (toddlers, pets, etc.) can be shifted around that way and the receiving household will raise the child as if it's their own even though it won't be on their family tree in any way.

Anyway, I don't think that evicting and deleting sims through the Edit Town interface is anywhere near as dangerous to ongoing game health as testingcheats deleting their bodies as if the sims were objects tends to be.

Thanks I can't neglect the baby, Oh my gosh, evicting them and then deleting seemed better. I wish there was a way that says you have twins do you want to keep both or put one up for adoption without mods. I thought aging him up to an YA and then evicting him was a better choice.

I think you're okay evicting and deleting them.Its when you use "moveobjects on"/testingcheats and doing ctrl+delete on them that isn't recommended.I know I can't neglect them either.Usually when I have twins, I age one up quickly and move it out lol.

@LaBlue0314 My save is fine, I have evicted the whole family as I have done many times, they were on the screen to the left. When I placed them back, I only put the Mother and Father and one baby, the other sim was deleted from the screen. I have evicted many families that way, when you delete a house, you evict them family and then you can place them back in the new house, but only the ones you want.

@igazor Before I started using mods I played a baby challenge and had to move babies around and the only way I could do it was to move an adult with them, then move the adult back where I wanted them.

@igazor I respect and appreciate your comments, as I am sure you know more then me. I will tell you how I did it. First I clicked on the baby and it said to age up, so I aged the baby to a toddler, then clicked on him again and aged to a child, I did this until he was a YA, I then evicted the family and they appeared on the screen top left, I then clicked on the family and moved the Mother, Father and Baby back in the house. The baby that I changed to YA remained at the top left screen. I then clicked on him a YA and I deleted him. Hope that helps to understand what I did. My game is fine and my baby is now a boy and has a IF that I love. Thanks for your input.

Thanks everyone for your comments, much appreciated. Have fun with your sims
