Pregnant Elder?

She probably became pregnant as an adult. MCCC also overrides normal Sims rules

There have been reports of Sims becoming pregnant after making a phone call to ask for your advice about having a baby. Apparently the Sim who makes the call gets pregnant if you tell him or her to go ahead. This includes Sims who normally don't become pregnant, such as elders and males.

You can set MCCC to disallow pregnancy if the Sim is a certain number of days before aging to Elder. You can also set to have children in inactive families adopted by other inactives if both parents are dead, that way at least the kids stay in the game especially if your Sim kids are friends with them. And with the gender customization options you can even have a Sim that's infertile -- I'll usually change the option from can impregnate/can be impregnated to can't after my Sims have the number of children I want...sort of an in-game sterilization procedure.

Ouch! That poor Elder sim giving birth in her old age. I remember having my daughter when I was 26, that was hard enough getting a human being out of another human being. I'm glad I became a Mother as a young adult.

Yes, I have. I started off with a married couple who were young adults, their daughters were born in-game and are now young adults, the parents have recently become Elders.

I began playing the save in January, but I only bought Get Famous in March, so the save had been going for a while before Brytani Cho would have appeared in game. I’m not entirely sure but it may well be that she got pregnant not long before aging up... one of my MCCC settings is to allow pregnant women to age while pregnant (as in, say, going from 13 days till age up to 10 days till age up, rather than staying at 13 days all through the pregnancy).

In fact, that could be possible... I just looked in my screenshots folder and on the day I got Get Famous, the twin daughters in this save turned into teens. They’re slightly less than halfway through Young Adult now, so Brytani might have *just* become an Elder. Although I don’t know for sure.

This is one aspect about TS4 i don't like, the lack of natural infertility in female sims in their adult lives. With MCCC, i quite often see female sims get pregnant all the way to the end of those adult years and have children, often their partner is as old as the female sim is and so any children born are heavily reliant on the eldest sibling becoming a teenager at the very least before the parents kick the bucket, otherwise the entire family disappears from the game altogether.

i wished the developers added in a natural infertility point in adult female sims just before their half way point in their life stage. That way they can't just keep having more sims all the way into their elder years and allows other sims to have children of their own without the parents getting to it first.

That's kinda creepy :lol:

I am an Elder, officially, as of my last birthday. Happily, I can no longer become pregnant. But were it to happen, I believe the entire process would kill me at this age. Hard enough giving birth to my youngest when I was 33. And yes, MCCC can be set to avoid this issue.
