- VWoodsongSeasoned ObserverIf you already have this question, I'd take it as a sign that having a larger family in rapid succession is likely not your preference to play. So yeah, I'd probably reduce the number in the current pregnancy.
- mightyspritesimsSeasoned HotshotDon't forget, older toddler will be well into the child stage by the time the twins become toddlers, and able to help with cleaning and entertaining the little ones.
- If you are done with the family, restart by all means. Maybe leave this save on the side until you feel up to it.
However, I do think three toddlers is manageable in 4, especially since one with age up soon enough. If it simply isn't your preference, though, you can remove however many kids or cheat the aging. Plus nannies can be great for some relief.
If you do want to attempt to roll with it and still worry about the work with a nanny, I'd consider moving in a grandparent or aunt/uncle to help with the kids. You don't necessarily hear about it much anymore, but it does happen. - simsimsereRising ScoutI would go with it, but now that I think of it I came up with another option for you. You could create a relative perhaps a sister or parents for one of your sims (use play with genetic in CAS if they don't have relatives already) and move the oldest daughter to live with them until you get things going smoothly.
- CAPTAIN_NXR7Seasoned VeteranI simply don’t deal with kids in my game if I don’t want to.
If my sims become a dad, most of my them are run-away dads. ?
I do use a mod other than mccc that gives me options to prevent that from happening ( it simulates real life situations) therefore kids are quite rare in my game. I will let all pregnancies and births happen naturally as I don’t like to interfere in that process, but I will move my guy out of the house and start over. Sim mothers and kids don’t really seem to mind either way, plus she can keep all the money. - separate the kids tragically by sending one away >:)
- BabykittyjadeRising ObserverLol @ the replies. I say you did the crime so serve the time! Roll with it and raise them! No running away!
But if you really don't enjoy playing that way don't force it. Start over ? it's all about what is fun for you. - Accept what the games gives you. It's realistic.
- You could always try aging one or more of them up to child and then having them die of freezing or overheating if you've got Seasons installed...they can also die from bad fugu, so...poison, poison, tasty fish!
- GalacticGalSeasoned AcePlay with autonomy ON, first off. If you follow a parent to their work, cheat up the Toddler's needs and then disable decay. I have found recently that my Toddlers flourish when I'm not hovering over them every minute. I play with autonomy on Full, and I follow my Global Superstar to his many gigs. (He's a Rock Star above being an Actor, so he's very busy.) Most of his activities, happily, are in a Rabbit Hole, so I can fuss with his family, then. They had their children back-to-back-to-back, too. First born was a boy, second born were twin girls, then two more boys followed by the baby, a girl. So I have had anywhere from 1-4 Toddlers at a time. By not fussing, but making sure their needs are taken care of (I imagine it helps that their mother has the Full House aspiration and she's the best mom I've ever had in my game), the Tots are fine. The only times it's gone critical on me, is when I follow the celebrity to work. Long days, or nights at Plumbob Studios filming can plummet a Toddler's needs. This is when I relented on my resolve to never use the Needs Cheat on Toddlers. Had to, no choice, or lose them to the SS — I mean Social Services. Those nice, thoughtful, caring Sims who come take the wee ones off of your Sims' hands and tell them ever so politely, to get a goldfish, or some such pet. :open_mouth:
Try not to panic. Use the PAUSE button to queue up interactions, save often and take a deep breath. It's all going to be all right. And if the worst happens, roll back a save. I use the Save As, for each gaming session. If this doesn't work, go to plan B. By saving your current game, (I would take that family, intact) into cas.fulleditmode and from there save them to your My Library) OR, you can copy the save and place it onto your desktop. This should free you to take chances. If all goes awry, go back to that original save and change the number of babies <------------- This option bothers me to my soul. You can always play it out that she lost a twin. This happens from time-to-time in RL, if you can't handle the load.
Bottom Line: Do what makes the game FUN for you. No judgment, it's your game.
