This Free Time "perk" of increased chances of twins is driving me insane!
I restarted Pleasantview with the new computer (read: couldn't be bothered pulling ALL my files across from the old one) and when I went into the Broke house, set up the sims various perks. Brandi, of course, is already pregnant (with ONE baby) at the start of things. The next time I go into the house, Brandi has suddenly decided that in fact, she is having twins. Twins Brady and Bobby were duly born. Because they're both Brandi clones, they're the closest thing we can get to identical twins.
Anyway, days go by, she finally meets a nice single father by the name of Matt Riffraff, and his two daughters, Kayla and Layla. After some effort Brandi and Matt tie the knot, and wouldn't you know it are off to the bedroom to conceive the next little Riffraff.
I checked the number of babies after hearing the lullabye. One baby.
This made sense, because there's Brandi, Matt, teens Beau, Bobby, and Brady Broke, and Kayla and Layla Riffraff. According to the world of the sims, there's only room for one more sim (and I don't have any hacks to change this).
Oh, no. I went into the Broke-Riffraff house today and found that Brandi is once again expecting twins.
I SWEAR, on Brandi's grandmother's grave, there has been no cheesecake consumed or use of forcetwins. I've never ever seen the number of babies change from one playsession to the next.
It's chaotic enough with 5 teens in the house who are nowhere near ready to go to college yet, this is just going to send my blood pressure through the roof!
Ugh. I can't wait till that woman hits menopause.
You think that's bad. In my game, Brandi decided to have quads. Granted, I did inflict it upon myself with TJ's Triplets and Quads hack, but having 4 babies plus Beau and Dustin living in that tiny trailer was no walk in the park. Brandi was absolutely miserable; low fun, hunger, social, energy etc. Money was tight as Dustin was the only one working. In the end, the kids got taken away by the social worker while I was in the middle of age-transitioning them from toddler to child. Why? Because Beau's
social was too low!
