Title: Character file question
Post by: fff on 2005 September 09, 02:09:29
Like a lot of us, I've been trying to do my bit to keep the number of character files down, I have all the no-regeneration hacks, and I don't mass-murder Townies just for the thrill of watching them die. Well, not as much as I used to, anyway.

BUT - one thing I do quite often, if a Sim is about to give birth, if I want that family to have a particular gender baby, I'll exit the lot without saving, then go back in and wait till I get the boy/girl that I want them to have. Same with adoptions - if I want, say, a dark haired child to fit in with the rest of the family, then I'll keep exiting and reloading the lot until I get one.

My question is, what happens to all these 'discarded' kids - do they add to the character file count?

They are discarded when you exit the game without saving, they never get a character file created, so it's as if they never existed.  JM's lot debugger does this when you use the randomize Sim generator.  It generates several sims quickly, and then they are discarded when you don't save.

Just have to remember to save before you use the option!
