Myths, Urban Legends, And Apocrypha Of TS2 Explored And Exploded

All's I can say about Brandi Broke is that the woman will NEVER have girls! I can't get her married, so she's adopted FOUR different sons: two babies, a toddler, and a child. I am trying like hell for her to adopt a girl--then neglect all the boys. ;)

Not true. My Brandi Broke married a fellow by the name of Matt Riffraff (who had 2 daughters himself, Kayla and Layla), and they had a daughter, Bridget, followed by twins Bart and Beatrice. Beatrice is nearly a clone of Brandi, but with green eyes.
(Layla became a romance sim when she aged into a teen and I'd had hopes she would break her stepbrothers Dustin or Beau's heart, but while they lived in the same house they only ever had family interactions. She now has wants to flirt etc with Dustin now they're living in separate houses in university though ;D)
J. M. Pescado:
Brandi Broke *CAN* have girls, but there are a few factors which promote boys. Brandi's third child, the one she starts pregnant with, is always a boy as an artifact of the way baby genders are determined: Because Skip Broke is "unlinked", the child is always a self-pollination of Brandi. In such a case, the game is programmed to always produce a baby that is the opposite gender of the mother, so you're going to get another boy. This gives Brandi 3 guaranteed boys to start with, completely nonrandomly. If, for some reason, you want to give her *MORE* children, you have a 50/50 shot of getting yet another boy. What's more, Brandi is pollinated at game-startup. It is possible, by sheer random chance, for this pollination to result in twins, which, by the rules above, will always yield twin boys if this happens. You can easily get 4-5 boys out of Brandi with very little "random" involved yet.

Sorry, I meant my Brandi Broke. She's got seven kids now (four adopted) and they're ALL boys! It's driving me nuts!
J. M. Pescado:
Well, the odds of 4 independent children (your first 3 are fixed to be boys and not random) being boys is 6.25%. This is slightly better than the odds of rolling a 1, which, as any D&D player can tell you, happens constantly. 'sides, you can hardly claim Brandi is having those children at all if you're adopting them from the Ugly Baby Generator.
