Surrogate Parents *Closed*

[Hammie]

I have a family on my game. The husband is a servo and the wife is a woman. I know you can use cheaty ways to have a child between a servo and woman, but I got to thinking... What if there were surrogate mothers? I thought that would be pretty cool for the sake of realism. Also, it would work well for homosexual couples and elder couples where in real life they couldn't make a baby together. I just thought it was a cool idea after someone suggested it for Sims 3. I thought it would be fun to have in Sims 2.

You can use cheats/mods, so it kind of already exists.

As an example you could use the insim mod or the simblender (anything that has pregnancy options). Make the 'egg-carrier' have a baby with the 'sperm donor' through the mod, carry forth the baby, and change the family ties of the new father and/or mother after the baby is born. You could use the real father or mother of the baby as one of the abovementioned egg/sperm donors.

Well, my idea actually stemmed from BackAlleySims' (I think that's it... Not entirely sure.) hospital mod. I was thinking it could be under services and you could call for a sperm donor/surrogate mother. If it was a mother, she would live with the family who would raise the child for the duration of her pregnancy. And, it could almost be like working for a Sim-run OFB business, that way the surrogate could still be an aging playable Sim instead of a NPC. I know that's probably way too complex, as I've never done modding, but you never know.

Perhaps suggest it over at BAS? Their modders are much more experienced with such mods.

Thank you for the suggestion, Raven. I've made a thread over there in the request section. Thanks for all your help.
