Do you ever just accidentally have too many kids?

My seven plots legacy had triplets when I'd planned on two kids separated by a few sim-weeks at least.

Then I used mods to prevent more kids.

lol I really should start preventing it with mods, the family tree is getting huge and eventually their gonna be related to everyone in town

Yikes! I do have too many sometimes. I play with Risky Woohoo from MCCC so that can add an extra element of challenge. In my last gen I had a couple live in a tiny house with their 1 baby, and thought that would be perfect. Then, all of a sudden, my sim was pregnant with triplets and their house was very, very too small so I had to completely change their house and lifestyle to fit all the children! I like the randomness though :)

My goal is two to three kids and always end up with twins or triplets. I don't even know why I bother having a set amount in mind. ?

My elven lady had six kids in a row, including two sets of twins. She ended up having an emotional breakdown and abandoned the kids to their father's care.
Another one of my sims tried for a baby for the first time with her new boyfriend and ended up with triplets.

In RL my daughter wasn't counting on having twins. But, no, never in my game have I ever had a Sim baby that wasn't calculated. Even in my Cantrell family I include the fifth child, even though in the story for which he was created, he was a bit of a change-of-life surprise.

I do have to say, however, that I use MCCC. I flagged his mother to not have any more kids. This was when I sent the older four off to uni. I didn't want their parents suddenly in the 'family way' again. :open_mouth:

The only time I've ever had more kids than planned is with alien abductions. Usually I try very hard to have just one child per family. Sometimes they'll get twins and very, very rarely triplets, but they only 'try for baby' once.

Recently though, while playing the Drifter challenge, my Drifter's elder Father was abducted and ended up giving birth to alien twins! So now I'm playing the largest family I've ever had in TS4, 8 in total which includes; my adult Drifter, her adult husband, their teen daughter, her elder Father & elder Uncle (they are twins and with normal gameplay for the challenge wouldn't be living with her, but I've been having problems with urns disappearing so moved them in), a female adult alien and the twin newborn aliens!

IF everything had gone to plan, the only Sims that should be living in this household would be my Drifter, Hubby, daughter and the alien.

The worst part? According to the rules of the challenge, I can only control my Drifter. Everyone else is on full autonomy. o.O It's certainly been the most interesting House so far in the challenge though and a lot of fun to play. My fingernails are gone and I'm bald now, but que sera sera. :D

This happened in my original not so berry challenge xD I kept having twins of twins of twins and played a 'seperated at birth' plotline with Orange! It was great. They were so angry to be outcasted!

My main couple thought they would have one child....

Of course, they wound up having triplets. Then the dad got abducted and had alien twins. So now, instead of one child, they have five!

I don't have MCCC, so it was just meant to be. :)

OMG yes! I don't really enjoy playing children so I'm very careful about when my sims get pregnant. I finally decided it was time, had my sim come up with a positive pregnancy test, and the very same night her husband gets abducted and turns out pregnant from the encounter as well. She had their natural child but he ended up having twins. Oof. I was tempted to quit and revert to an earlier save but it was my first male abduction pregnancy and I was curious to let it play out. That was a very difficult and miserable gaming period. :D
