Giving birth at hospital

Hey hey

Anyone know why whoever i ask to join me at the hospital to be there while my sim gives birth always leaves as soon as they arrive?
Would be nice if the Father of the child hung around!!! haha

does this happen to everyone else???

  • It happens to me too unless the other Sim is part of the active household. Poor scripting, I assume.
  • I'm too afraid to go to the hospital for that.... Last time my sim spent 24 hours standing in pain in front of the desk while the nurse was probably playing blick block, because the doctor wasn't there.
  • Sim autonomy in general doesn't make a lot of sense. it isn't just watching child birthing, it goes through a lot of things:

    so say your sim is dangerously tired and needs to sleep but you got a cofeee maker downstairs. the sim doesn't go to sleep like it is a lower priority order or something, no your sim goes for the coffee maker instead!

    Say your fridge is full of fantastic home cooked food, some of it quality style gourmet stuff, but there is a grill outside. so instead of getting something nice from the fridge, they go for the grill instead, places the food in their inventory or on a table outside. so before long that food spoils. the next morning, a hungry sim comes down and grabs a spoiled burger, eats it instead of cleaning it up. So yeah, some pretty twisted autonomy priorities going on.
  • Does the Father live in the same house? It doesnt happen in my game and I visited hospital with my pregnant sims frequently

    They go to sleep only after a certain hour. Before that it's either the coffee or a nap.
  • Hospitals should be editable without the glicthes that come afterwards if you try to edit them. And the gameplay should be less repetitive. The fact that you can't have two sims from your household work together in the hospital giving you the ability to switch from one to the other is not right.
