In three different families, I've tried to have two pugs have a litter of puppies (not the same pugs either). I'm using the EA default pugs. Two families were EA default sims, one was a second gen sim. I do have many hacks/mods, but I've double checked each and every single one of them to ensure they are compatible with all the expansions I have. I've also double checked them with the Hack Conflict Detection Utility. I've attempted to force their births with the "boolprop controlpets on" cheat in conjunction with the InSIMinator, but nothing happens when I use the Give Birth command. I've gone through the MTS2 problem resolution FAQ. I think the only thing I have not done is reinstall everything without any downloads, and try a birth on a clean family. I'm hoping to avoid having to do that, as it takes FOREVER and a day to uninstall and reinstall this many expansions (and watch a 9 mo old baby at the same time)!

Any advice?

I have a sim I've been playing for a while. He lives in an apartment with a roomie. He has left the lot before to go to a community lot. However, this time when he left to go on a date, upon arriving back at the apartment building with date in tow, another sim had moved into his apartment! He was all paid up on his bills. Any help would be appreciated!

Before you think I'm twisted, let me explain.

I'm creating a medieval story, and in medieval times, child and infant deaths were common. I'd like to kill off a kid or two for the appropriate tragedy level. I don't want the death to be prolonged or anything, and the social worker showing up would really ruin the story. How can I have a quick, painless child death?

So I recently did a clean install of my game, including the ton of EPs I had. Then I went "shopping" for medieval themed objects and clothing, because I really wanted some medieval simmies. I spent about 2 days on that. I was *sure* I downloaded all necessary meshes when I shopped.

Now I have lots of clothes showing up in the Buy option but when I click on them, the sims body disappears on quite a few. All the ones that my sims body disappears on have the same picture in the catalog, but I know I didn't download the same outfit eleventy-billion times. This seems to be a missing mesh problem? Am I right? If so, how do I determine what meshes I am missing without having to delete all my downloads and start over?

If I am not right, what else might the problem be? Thanks in advance!
