But...it is the same sim that appears on the weather TV channel, no? He exist..they filmed him!

I recently installed another neighborhood that I found on a tumblr and discovered this in one of the households that came with it. She really doesn't like the guy she's living with!

I can't even trigger that "Break Up with ...." want! I've never actually seen it happen in my game either (vanilla & modded). Why's that?

It happens in my game when a married couple have a big fight, or one of them cheats.
The pie menu has that option.
Haven't noticed if it comes up in the "want" bar. Weird.
*runs off to initiate some mayhem in my game*

Thanks Tleilaxu3. I've had many divorces in my Uberhood but neither of the Sim(s) actually rolled that particular Want. I've never seen it before. I've only discovered a Want that said something along the lines of "Have/Get New Family Member" fairly recently. It's happened twice so far. I wish they appeared more often to shock me, aha. :P

No, I don't unfortunately. My game is pretty lightly modded so nothing so obvious has crept in... that I can see. On the plus side, it shouldn't take too long to figure out what's interfering with the cheese cake!

I've never seen that before! I usually take the 'move out' want as a break-up want.

DO you have the exnem cheesecakes? A friend of mine had this same problem with no cheesecake twins and a 50/50 narrowed it down to a conflict with those.

It worked in all my families until they had two twin pairs. After that, no matter how much cheesecake they eat, they don't get twins.

Also, does anyone know what determines the gender of the baby? In all 4 families in my medieval hood, they got 5 girls and not more than 1 boy. One family got 6 girls and no boys. And it's not like there's a lack of female sims in the nbh or something. In fact there were more girls already.

As I understand it, if cheesecake doesn't work, a mod is interfering with it. Sims 2 being what it is, this may or may not be a mod that has anything to do with cheesecake, twins, reproduction, or anything else that makes sense at the human level.

The gender of a baby is a random coin flip at birth. As with all straight 50/50 shots, statistical clusters are common and unavoidable. If you don't like the gender you get, the only recourses are to quit without saving and run the birth again (and again and again) until you're happy with it, or perform a gender transition using editing tools.

It's possible Sims can only get "real" twins or "cheesecake twins" up to the house limit, 8 sims. If you have mods to expand the family they may be able to get multiples, though I'm not sure if the cheesecake trick still is going to work. I have the Twins/triplets/quads mod and one for larger families, and I think my sims still get multiples over 8 sims.

Gender is said to be 50/50 and completely random. Nothing you can do to get either/or, except from the save before birth and reopen the lot if you're unhappy with the gender(s). People have been poking around in the game mechanics for a while now, and I don't think anyone has found a way to make sure one gender is preferred over the other at birth.

(When that's said, my game seems to want to even out the genders most of the time - particularly with multiples, which is to say I tend to get more of one gender if there's more of the other already present on the lot, and if there's an even number I tend to get one of each - but this is probably just a weird coincidence in my game, and most likely it's really just random in a weirdly predictable way. I've had a few rare occasions of for instance 5-7 girls before a boy is born, so that does support the randomness).

The evening-out effect is the normal result of randomness. Over a large enough sample, 50/50 odds should come out to roughly 50/50 of each choice. But each time a coin is tossed, the same 50/50 chance exists - it is not affected by what happened the last 12 times the dice were tossed. And that's why, in any given short run (and anything under ten is a very short run!), statistical clusters are to be expected.

Can you eject the Grim Reaper and stop him from reaping a Sim If they die in a living room?

I'd assume you'd get some weird results if you did, especially if the sim already "dropped dead," so to speak

What do you guys do with Sims that can't make up their minds? Frances Cordial wanted to become a Werewolf so I invited Oberon Summerdream over because he's a Werewolf in my Uberhood. He savaged her and she became a Werewolf but now she wants to be cured but also has the fear of being cured. Kimberly, her wife, also wants her to be cured but also has the fear of Frances being cured. I hate when this happens, it's so annoying. LOL.

I realize I've left out some main characters' relatives. Is it too late to create a Sim and then add them to the family, creating relationships and memories via SimPE?

I forgot about my royal family where every other child is a boy. They alternate between the genders perfectly at each birth. So I guess my suspicion that it is NOT random is washed away... :P

Takes patience but can be done. I created some ancestors and added the family ties and relationships just recently. I didn't bother with the memories for that, but I've edited them for other things.



I just saw a question about this elsewhere so want to ask since you mentioned it here. I have more than 8 sims per household and pets and babies are born into them, but I just have the limit raised in my userStartup.cheat and, yet, I see a few mods for larger households, etc. What are they doing that I am not? What's the difference?

I think it's normal to want something but to also have some reservation or uncertainty about it, especially once a dream becomes a reality. I play on, see if it rolls away after a few days. If the want to be cured is persistent and the change doesn't seem to fit the sim then I might change their story, now she has to find a cure. Can she even be cured? What will that entail and is it worth it? Maybe she needs some mentoring from Oberon to be comfortable.

In an old hood, I was convinced it wasn't random because I kept getting long streaks of one gender. Then I checked my hood spreadsheet and discovered that out of hundreds of sims, there was a difference of 3 total in male versus female.

Aren't the glass doors and windows (come with open for business) supposed to be recolourable? I remember all of them having that ugly red and then blue, black and white options as well. Why is mine only giving me the red option only?



It's just constant headdesk with this game, isn't it?

That was a bug with AL... It contained a duplicate of that set, but for some reason having both destroys the color options. Pretty sure there is a mod to fix it, though you will have to manually recolor the ones in Belladona Cove, cuz they'll all become red after the fix...

Have you updated your CEP? http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=92541

@Aysarth It worked! Thanks!
@Sunrader I installed it two weeks ago and I doubt it is still being developed so I should have it.
