Crib for the Economically Disadvantaged

[Zazazu]

"borking" Presumeably = bonking+porking? 

I have my self-sim living in a hut on a beach right now (just maxis grass panelling inside, dirt floor, etc.).  He digs on the beach for money (only not that much since he dug up a $5000 treasure chest and a $4000 Ming Vase).  He remodelled the hut and put in a full bath with concrete floor, and bought a fridge and gas stove now.  Bit of a luxury hut now really.  He's a knowledge sim (which is sort of right, I guess), but spends most of his time woohooing any female sim that comes by (this ACR stuff is...fascinating), which is...less than a completely accurate facsimile of my life, let's just say.

Yup.

My self-sim is married to a townie named Christian Dyer. She teaches the 'hood's kids (irony as I was initially a elementary ed major but can't really stand more than a couple kids at a time) and lives in the second floor of the school with her triplet girls (nearly teens) and little boy. Fake-hubby was unemployed and helping to raise the kids while she taught, but now he's working the register at Edmund Young's art store so that "we" can afford groceries. Of course, last night, Edmund went up and tried to grab "my" ass at the beach. Yeah. He used to be a student. He's also the resident sexist pig (wants a girl who can cook and clean and stay home all day), is working on a massage parlor/brothel second biz, and recently gave birth to the first alien baby of the 'hood. Non-cheaty, too.

Prosperity-type 'hoods are fun, but it gets annoying when there's a lot of houses in the rotation. I only have five right now, at the dawn of the fourth generation, but my generations are getting pretty muddy with the gap between "my" kids and the founder's decendants.

That's because the concept of "generation" is pretty arbitrary anyway, given that humans spawn continuously rather than at discrete intervals.

My kids all started off in Moses baskets. They are really pretty and I don't think anyone has made one for the Sims 2 yet.

I downloaded a Moses basket from somewhere for my sim babies, so one does exist. I know I got them from the booty so it's at a paysite somewhere. I want to say it started with an E, I'll check to see if they wrote it in the description when I next run my game.

EclecticSims made a Moses basket. It's in the booty. You can find it here. It's half way down the list aptly titled "moses_basket.zip". No pic though. We're too lazy to get one.

Thankyou

That and I brought myself in mid-3rd gen. It's fine now. I just had the bright idea to name all the families House1, House2, etc. I play a season each round, so it's easy to tell which one I'm at now if I take a couple days off...except during the double summer. Third double-summer survived, only two townie casualties. Pitiful.

So what would you use as a changing table with this one? A big crate?

[IcemanTO]

Does it open and close?

HAHAHAHA, I'm pretty sure that JM hope it could be closed.

[MutantBunny]

I love this! But I want the drawer to close too.....

My son was born in Belize (at home--the 'natural way'-- amazingly gross and painful....) He got a hand woven basket.

Morrigarant: please find the maker of that basket! I must have it!

[morriganrant]

Mutant Bunny, Duckie has already listed it, EclecticSims.

[MutantBunny]

Duh. Thanks. I thought the moses basket was something seperate--and since I refrain from most things religious in my game...and ok life too, my eyes kinda glaze over and start to skip ahead.. lol....

Surely the dresser animations wouldn't be too hard to do - you wouldn't have to make them actually open a drawer, just spin & change, but one square away so they didn't stand on the baby.

It's not that everyone wants to use the crib as a dresser, although that would be space saving in itself, they want to be able to shut the baby in the dresser and pull the drawer back out with the baby in it.

It's a baby in a drawer - I'm guessing there aren't many more funds available for a changing table, either. Pity sims aren't smart enough to just use a counter or desk. Although a changing crate and crib crate are kind of missed opportunities for the crate furniture Dr. Pixel made. Of course, if you're running Seasons, you don't need a changing table at all anymore. Diapers compost just like any other trash.
