Can I change family guardianship role in Sims Freeplay

I recently added a baby and realized the father of the child isn't the father of the household. Early on in the game, I had my female sim get in a relationship with a sim for a task but didn't break up. My female sim married another man and had a baby, but the guardianship was given to the first partner. Is there anyway I can move the dad role for the child from the first sim to the actual husband/father?

    As I understand it, never done it myself, you can through the phone adopt existing toddlers, pre-teens or teens to a new house hold/parent

    I checked and there is no option for baby/infants, my bad, should've checked before I answered but all my adults were at work, irresponsible in these times but I don't think Sims can get the virus 😉 

    For teens, there is an option to build friendship with an adult, who can ask the teen to move in - it will only cost time

    EA_ Arrenai will know for sure, or find out but it is the weekend and it it still not dawn in her time zone ... She'll get to it, sooner or later

    Another option is to delete the baby and start a new, make sure the man you want as a father is the first (his face in the icon above the house) in the household where the crib is. That should be cheaper than an adoption.

  • I think you can do it with phone

    Have the Sim you want to be a parent use a phone and "adopt Baby/toddler/pre-teen/teen"

    It will cost you real money

    @EA_Arrenai Do you know?

  • I don't mean to add a new sim to my town, I was referring to the parent. I wanted one adult sim to be the biological father, but the game chose the other sim that wasn't living in the same house as the father. If there is a way to change that, I'd like to know. If not, it's fine I guess, but it'll annoy me a bit.

    Sul Sul, @Thatmagicpanda!

    It will take me a bit to look into this for you as I don't have definitive information on this at the moment. Please allow me a few days and I'll get back to you soon.

    Thanks, @minicha-em for the head's up. 🙂
