What happens to the Children

With neighborhood stories enabled I have had one of my sims have a baby right before they turned into an elder. I do not play with this household anymore I have moved on with the next generation. The old household is in my other households tab. Now that the previous heir is an elder she has a child and a toddler still at home. What will happen to them when she dies? Where will the child and toddler go? I have never run into this scenario before so I thought I’d ask now in case I need to move them into one of the families households. 

  • I ran into this sort of situation in my current save and ended up looking up what happens, and from what I read any sim below the teen life stage will be removed from the game if all older sims in a household die. They also will not be available for adoption, and simply disappear. There are mods that can change how things work, I believe MCCC has options for orphaned sims to be adopted into a random household, but yeah without mods I believe the sims are simply gone for good.
