Oh no! Baby can't be born!
tigerfaerie:
So my best friend who's a big simmer is having baby issues.
This is what she said the first time:
Confused and angry, I printscreened the whole phenomenon. Basically, Julia went through her labor pains and then the little message came up, 'a new member of your family is ready to be delivered; please wait while the stork unties those extra knots' or something. What's supposed to happen after that is you get a cutscene of the parents with their baby and then you name the baby. Well neither happened. Pretty much after that message disappeared all of a sudden there was a baby in the family menu (as seen above), named 'Baby Girl Buckley' because I never got to name her. However, see how Jeff's aspiration meter is at its highest? He wanted a baby, and the game thinks Julia had one, because Jeff now wants to buy it toys and crap. Even worse, Julia is still pregnant! I tried using inSim and all its coolness to locate the baby, but it's not there to locate. Before I quit out, I waited around for a little bit, though I wasn't expecting a baby to magically surface. I tried to make Jeff age the baby through inSim but the command faded after a few seconds because THERE WAS NO BABY!
Then, to make things worse, when I tried to quit, I couldn't! If you look at the screenshot above, Buy Mode and Build Mode are grayed out and therefore inaccessible. When I went into '...', 'Save', 'Save and Return to Neighborhood' and 'Save and Quit' were all grayed out as well! I printscreened it but I eventually had to emergency shutdown my computer because I was on the desktop and still seeing a Sims arrow. I suppose everything grayed out because when your girl is having a baby you're not supposed to be able to screw around in the other menus. On that note, I guess it was still attempting to properly load my baby, but if messed that up a while ago.
So why did this happen?
And here's a screencap
Attempt two:
Okay, so I go back into the game, set the clock back an hour. She's still in labor, like right in the middle of it, since it's not a thumbnail thing I can cancel it out. So the message loads up again 'please wait while blah blah blah'. Thennnnnn. Nothing. 'Baby girl lastname' shows up in the family menu. Julia goes to play with the mechanical car, like everything was fine. There is no actual baby though. I tried to age it last time with insim but the option faded away b/c the baby is not actually there. I click its family menu thumbnail and nothing. But the game THINKS there is a baby. B/c Jeff's aspiration points raise b/c he wanted a baby. And he has new aspirations that include the baby. But Julia is still pregnant. I tried deleting her and bringing her back. I tried changing her fitness. I was going to try killing her but I dont know how to bring her back, so I didnt. NOTHING works. The worst thing is it never even lets me quit...I have to force quit, which takes forever.
Tenshii~Akari:
Wow.... Has she tried moving them off of that lot and into another house? That lot may not have the proper pregnancy token for her... :dontknow:
ancienthighway:
What mods does she have that deal with pregnancies and woohoos? Have those mods been updated to the latest version for the EPs she has?
tigerfaerie:
She hasn't switched lots, but I'll tell her to try that.
The mods she has are all updated (we have the same EPs and I'm the one who got her into mods). Another Sim couple had twins just fine with all of her mods installed.
ancienthighway:
It's sounding like the pregnancy control flipped out. If switching lots doesn't work, she could try to use InSim or Inteen to abort the pregnancy, then get them pregnant again and advance the stage to the third trimester.
