Community ManagerTesting this further, killing a parent does not allow another non-family member to adopt a child if there were previously 2 parents in the family, as this would mess up the family tree.
This means adoption works if there is only one parent in the household- as in only a mother, or only a father. If the child already has two parents, the adoption option will not be available.
Community ManagerDoes the child you're trying to adopt already have 2 parents in their family tree?
Community Manager@GiardiniDiMarzo sorry for the delay, had to test this one for you 🙂
If you have a science baby with a friend, that science baby does have 2 parents in their family tree, so adoption is not possible.
However, if you have a science baby alone, that baby only has 1 parent in the family tree, so adoption would be possible in that scenario.
So to clear this up a bit further- to adopt an infant/child/teen, they need to have only 1 parent listed in the family tree, or adoption will not be possible.
I have Makoa Kealoha and Nina in the household with my sim. I married my sim to Makoa but the only option she has for Nina is adopt as care dependent. I went to Friendly > Affection and there is no option to adopt. I have kiss cheek, express admiration, and give gift but that’s it.
Thanks so much
