1 Child per couple-Village of the Damned imminent!

Quote from: KatieMae
What I like to do for the elders is make a Retirement Home for them and move them all into one house. That way the grandkids can still get to know their grandparents but they're not taking up as much space. ( And I really don't like playing the elders either) :hello2:
Poor elders.
They aren't much fun for me to play either.
I put them to work generating income with paintings or writing novels. Keeps them busy and generates some additional income for their survivors to inherit.
With OFB they can at least run a business if I choose to have them to.

I like to move the elders back in with their kids so they can provide free childcare. I build them their own studio apartment behind the house or above the garage. Grandma and/or grandpa can watch the kids, do all the cooking and cleaning, and in their spare time, can write and paint to generate income. This way, I can still keep them aging, and eventually they'll pass on and I can reduce my population. And better yet, it saves the parents all the money they would have spent on nannies, maids and gardeners.
And my Pleasantview is also a little eerie. Each mother only gives birth to twins (I use random trips/quads), always one boy and one girl. And without fail, they are always blonde haired, blue eyed, regardless of the parents genetics. Brandi can easily populate the town if you let her. I once let her marry Don Lothario. It was the only time she ever had girls, but they also always came as trips or quads. Not one single birth during the whole marriage. I achieved the have 10 kids want real quick though :)
Vampyre:
Wow... that's eerie alright. Are you using hacks to cause that?
Your use of elders as free babysitters I do occasionally too. It's much cheaper and better quality chuldcare than the nanny.
I've gone for the 10 kids want once or twice. Ya just end up with a lot of sblings to marry off and your neighborhood grows that much more.
Of course with all yer twins, trips and quads yer probably pretty used to that by now. ;)
Foxybaby: I wanted to mention an observation about emmigration I made when transplanting sims to a different neighborhood. I thought it would affect the family tree. It doesn't. Only afffects your friends list.
PrincessSami83:
The funny thing about it all is that nothing that odd happens in any other neighborhood. Most neighborhoods end up with single births and children that look like their parents. It's just Pleasantview that's off.
Vampyre:
That's just weird.
I had a Pleasantview (It's backed up now) that was more like Vampireview after a few too many sims got tight with Grand Vampires.
Never heard of multiple births being so rampant, yet restricted to one neighborhood like that.
