Lol I sometimes see people wanting to get the baby adopted cos they don't want it in the house.

Isn't it easier to just age up the baby and then delete the child? Or if you can't directly delete it from an active household (I don't know, I haven't tried), use manage households to move in the kid with a non-active household and then delete that household.

You could also use manage households and give the baby to another household to raise.

Yeah but the beauty of my method is it wipes the baby out of existence and memory and family tree. :D

Excuse me, but what T F is the point of letting your sims have babies, if you just want to get rid of them afterwards?

I think this method is easier than the manage household bit, especially if you want to get rid of them for good
Edit: wait, exit the game or just exit the lot bc i don't want to exit the game just for this :D

Except you can get rid of them for good through manage households and that doesn't require any cheats.

I have no qualms about using cheats so that isn't a problem for me

Everyone plays differently and if their story needed a baby at first and now they decided it doesn't anymore, this could be handy. Simple as that

This only aggravates the fact that babies in TS4 are just mere dumbed down objects, how #sad.

The game won't let you delete a crib that has a living baby associated with it. Mind you, I did make several deletable zombie babies using the set as head method. You can duplicate ad-nauseum and all the menu options are available on all the clones apart from "age up " which can only be used on the original live baby/crib
