Hey, thank you! I installed INsim and independent teen was exactly what I was looking for. I can't remember why I opted not to download INsim years ago.
Don't know what happened or how, but I was able to fix it by moving them out of the lot and then back in. (Spawned a sim to "house-sit" for them, so they didn't have to replace all their furniture.)
So, spontaneously, with no provocation or fanfare, both sims in my family were promoted to the highest level in their respective careers. Next time one of them left for work, she'd be automatically prompted to go to the car, but when she got to that action in the queue the icon disappeared. I tried manually to get her to drive to work and the same thing happened. I took the car out of her ownership and the same thing happened with the carpool. (She was suddenly mayor so the whole helicopter thing was pretty rough - she stood there covering her ears for an hour, poor dear.)
I've tried everything: deleting the car, the driveway, etc. I even had her quit her job and then get another one and she still can't go to work.
I have very little in the way of hacks, just INteen and a hack that allows custom maternity clothes.
Oh, believe me, I don't want her to be perpetually pregnant... I don't actually have insim installed, though, only inteen. Are there any drawbacks to installing insim?
I've been using INteen to keep an adult sim in a teen's body by holding the pregnancy in its first trimester and playing her as an adult (adult husband, adult job, etc). The problem is I need to find a way to eliminate the symptoms of pregnancy - particularly the drop in need bars... is there a way to hack her into having normal needs in this abnormal situation? Or, is there another way of keeping her looking like a teen with having her perpetually pregnant?
