Okay, the Goths are the only premades I actively play, but I do at least look at the other families every now and then, and I'm positive the Landgraabs only had one son the last time I checked. So where did that new baby come from that suddenly lives in their house?I'm not using MC Command Centre or any other mod that enables story progression, and aging is only allowed for the currently played household, so even if the parents did get it on in some bush on a community lot while I wasn't looking, shouldn't she still be pregnant, if anything?I've only experienced something like this once before, but in an active family where I deliberately got the woman pregnant before leaving to play with other sims, and when I returned, the baby was already there.

@kalaksed you can set MCCC not to change last names (or not to do pretty much anything it does). If you sometimes install it, you should customize the settings so it doesn't even do the things you have to go through and 'fix'. You can then leave the settings file around when you remove the mod. The configuration file won't actually do anything (or even be loaded by the game I don't think) when the mod is not active, so it's a one time thing to customize the settings.

Same thing happened to Nancy in my game too. & also I noticed that Don Lothario moved to a new household and had a different last name. Then when my sim asked if he was single, she found out he has a husband.

I want my NPCs having babies too! I'd love to see pregnant sims around town.

(At least as far as I know... Who knows what I'll find the next time I check on another premade family.) But I find it somewhat amusing that Nancy Landgraab seems to be the go-to sim for this kind of thing in other people's games as well. :D"CheesySimsLover;c-16855016" wrote:It would be cool if they added story progression?I'd appreciate it for those who want it, but please, let there be an "off" option for those of us who don't want it! Because having to play with story progression would pretty much ruin the game for me.

If I remember correctly, before I was using MCCC, the NPCs who were married did woohoo and had babies.

Pregnant sims do give birth, even if ageing is off.

Well then, now I know that pregnant sims having babies even when you're not playing them is normal, but NPCs making babies autonomically is not. Thank goodness! Because I don't want my game to create more children without my approval. :s

Sooo, does that mean there is a form of story progression now but we're all using MCCC so we didn't notice ?

Funny, just night the same thing happened in my game -- noticed Nancy was pregnant and that Don was now Don Flex. Coincidence is the main thing though, cuz i do have MCCC.

It would be cool if they added story progression? I haven't played in months, but just got a brand new PC and installed my old saved file. I noticed it looked like a bunch of Sims were still having babies, even though I realized MCCC is not working (even though it's installed, I plan to troubleshoot that tonight). (But it's also possible that these babies were conceived when I still had MCCC active on my Mac, so it's more likely that). The game without story progression is pretty much pointless to me (I'm a sucker for the generations and love that my generation three sims are interacting with heirs of the original premades).

i'm guessing that most people with households getting pregnant, shifting members and such use mccc, since that's one of the biggest selling points of the mod (even though it still seems to surprise people when it happens)

that's why I don't like the mod. It's insanely big and I could never be bothered to go through it all and it just makes weird things happen that you didn't approve of.
