The romance tree certainly sucks.

I've just had a sim age up to YA, so I think I'll try the "jump into bed without flirting first" for his first romance. Hopefully it will be quicker that way.

[phyllis_p]

Sim "foreplay" is weird. It is seems so utterly devoid of any passion whatsoever that you have to wonder if they're preparing to pass out rather than fuck.

* phyllis giggles!

Pes, in all these years I don't think I've ever seen you say "fuck."  You make made me giggle out loud!

1 Question about the EnablePedophilia       

Enables pedophilia Option

If i enable this will i be able to have my teens date any age from Teen - Elders or adults and can my teens have babies as well as my same sex couple like female/female Male/male?

[moondance]

See, this would actually be realistic had EA implemented the 'socialization trees' correctly. In real life, if you don't want to get romantic with a friend, you'd joke around and try to ruin the mood. This is probably what EA had in mind. Of course, they manage to screw it up impressively and annoy their players to death.

True, but even that depends on the people, relationship, and situation.  In my real life, if my bf or I  ruined the mood every time we made a joke or found something funny, we'd never have sex at all.

Tasia, if you read post #2 at the beginning of this thread, it tells you exactly what it does.

I am never going to make weird mpreg features, because, frankly, it is STUPID. However, I will cater to your weird desires to have create spawn from arbitrary sims regardless of incompatibility issues by allowing you to commission artificially incubated simu-drones at the Science Lab. May as well make those rabbit holes do something useful. Of course, there's a few caveats there, too: If, for some odd reason, you decide you want to create your artificially incubated simu-drone from two females, you will not be able to produce any males this way as none of the participants have any Y chromosomes to use to create a male with.

I've been able to get them to woohoo in bed without having them do any flirt actions previous to having them relax in bed. If it weren't for that, my Sims wouldn't get to woohoo at all. I can't stand going through the whole romance tree every time.

Second that.  I've tested for certain that if you just tell both sims to Relax in Bed, once they're relaxing you can tell either of them to initiate WhooHoo. It's possible they might need to be engaged or married (only tested this on engaged sims).

This would be awesome.

Does making a house Sacred save the wishes and opportunities when active household is changed? Or is there a way to add new families without making them active? - i.e give them enough money to buy a house without making them active.

Also, will the mayor of my town always be known as a sex offender!?

I think it works with any sims regardless of relationship status (only requirement is LTR ~60, which I believe is just above good friend).  My first legacy game (just before I discovered awesomemod) my female founder was attracted to her police partner (Hank Goddard) so I moved him in.  Being new to the game I didn't know how relationship levels worked, and I wasn't sure how to break off the engagement (I could never find the fiancee when I tried to look for her)

The two sims never even fell in love (red heart), which suited Hank's commitment issues just fine, but yet he fathered two children.  Go figure.  (He cried for days when his fiancee died of old age, even though their relationship was at -100, because I testing cheats slid it, and he hadn't spoken to her since he moved in with Allegra - who btw was based off of Allegra Gorey from TS2 University)

Hehe, yeah that stuff creeps me out as well. Still sounds like a cool idea if it could be done without being romantically involved to sort of simulate that whole sperm bank nonsense. Would the fact that females don't have a Y chromosome really have any affect in Sims 3, or are you just deciding to make it so? From what I've seen of the genetics in the game I wouldn't think it would even have a clue what a chromosome is.

He's probably making it so based on human genetics, which is realistic if you think of sims as humans.  (I prefer to think of them as a separate lifeform that's similar to humans, but only have a lifespan of 76 hours - 24minutes*190'days'/60minperhour)

(interesting fact - some birds and fish have ZW pairings where males produce ZZ and females produce ZW, meaning the female produces both the male and the female chromosome and the males only produces male chromosome.)

Mod the Sims now has a hack for male/male pregnancy and female/female pregnancy.  I'm not sure if a male becoming pregnant will result in a floating head or not though... You might have to find and download maternity wear for males.  (or make it if you know how).

That is a very cool idea!  It would be neat if it took several days to incubate and could be the result of a single doner genetics as well for a true clone.

Downloaded and installed. I'm not getting the "Try for Baby" interaction. Have you tried this yourself and did it work? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't.... It isn't something I am too interested in.  I usually check shit out before I post it so sorry that I didn't.

Are you getting the woohoo interaction?  If not then you need to do more romance interactions.  Either that or have them both relax on the bed and see if the try for baby thing comes up.

No worries about not checking it out, I thank you for the heads up.

I am using this couple to crank art and books. One is chained to an easel, the other a typewriter. I have them woohoo every night to get the social and fun bars up to max before bed. No issues getting them to woohoo like crazy, just no "try for baby." I did switch one to female in CAS, knocked "her" up, switched her back to male for the pregnancy. I used a code (something like "enable clothingmesh false, not quite right, don't have in front of me) and never had an issue with invisible bodies.

[Wolfeyes]

  The first time I saw this happen... I was like... "What the...?  Why are they yelling from the bed...?"  And then I started laughing... and thought... "Wow... now my sims really are in a hurry to get their "woohoo" on !"         

Yep, you're the target audience alright. 

Yep, that's fo shizzle as I've always been in a hurry to get my woohoo on...

I did some testing... and it turns out that it conflicts with awesomemod.  So... bummer

I heard back from lostaccount, yup, it conflicts. I'll have to wait to spawn in the incubator when our esteemed leader adds it to the mod.

What did you do...and how did you manage to get your job back?
