As everyone here probably knows mac doesn't come with any graphics programs installed on it so entering contesting and making custom content is REALLY difficult. I just found this program on mac softipedia which is free and is a bit like photoshop. Here's the link http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Graphics/ChocoFlop.shtml. Just wanted to share that with you guys cause i was really excitied when i found it:-P

I'm really sorry for you Barbara, i've been playing sims for a long time too but that has never happened to me. Maybe you could trying installing a patch??? Also save your game just before your characters starts giving birth you could save it??? I'm really sorry i couldn't be more helpful but i don't really know what to do. I feel really sorry for you and hopefully you will find out what is wrong. Also it could be something you downloaded maybe??? Sorry thats all i can think of. Good Luck
