How do you give up an unwanted child for Adoption? «12345...Next Go

@Pary. Good one. Poor @igazor.

Karritz

One of the most fun threads on the forum. I hope it lives for ever - because I like to get my hopes fulfilled.

TadOlson

This is not only a fun thread,but is also useful to newcomers to the game.

igazor

All this thread is really doing now is repeatedly attracting TS4 answers for a TS3 question from over eight years ago that has already been answered many times. And providing a platform for us to throw pies at each other. Not really sure how that qualifies as useful, but I guess it's "fun" for those who are into that sort of thing.

@igazor -It looks like a grea place to share uploaded households to be used as replacement social workers as I'm one of those replacing theirs with playable sims.

Pary

Well, I'm not normally into pie throwing, I actually prefer to eat pie with some ice cream and a nice cup of coffee, but I know @igazor likes it, so....

enter: testingcheats true and then hold shift, while clicking on the baby and there should be a blank button and 2 or more other ones, click the blank one and it gets taken away by child services or whatever.

Nope. Not in Sims 3. And this is the Sims 3 forum.

Get your head back up and open your mouth! I would never avoid a custard pie!

Catch!

Pary

I don't want to make light of @igazor 's pain, but I start laughing every time I see this thread resurface.

Nikkei_Simmer

Must be real painful today. At least once or twice every few hours.

@igazor Oopsies.

IreneSwift

Apparently people find the thread, read the first couple of posts, and post their 5 cents worth without reading any more than that.

JoAnne65

But how do they find the thread I wonder

When you search for something you invariably get several pages of unrelated junk and you have to read through it all before you find what you're looking for or give up.

Yes, that’s true (I’m sure I necrood some threads in the far past that way myself ).

CravenLestat

Quite effective

igazor

The search terms to use must be something like "torture TS3 players pie in the face." Sounds like something every player should have on a hotkey.

[quote="Shelobs_Sneak;d-30026"]By now I'm sure everyone's experienced their created families spawning unwanted children. So how do you get rid of them?
I called the adoption service using the phone and they dropped of another child!
I also tried the Age Transition cheat and transitioned until the baby died of 'natural causes', but that leaves a dead old sim in your family tree.

So how do you give up your child for adoption? And if you can't, what other ways are there to get rid of it?[/quote]

Click the menu and select manage world's. Select which town your household is in and their house. Now click the 3 dots in the bottom right and click the arrows. Now select a household besides your own and move the kid to their household. You can now continue your gameplay.

I do believe that someone else had already posted this suggest on the first page back in 2009 when this thread was first created. So I don't think that the OP of this thread waited has been waiting around for 8 years for an answer to their question...

igazor

@Undead_Bacon - There is no "Manage World" in TS3, that would be a TS4 solution. This is not a TS4 message board. But you're in good company as you have been around the 12th one (losing count now) to do that and as has been suggested dozens of times, households in TS3 can be Split and Merged through Edit Town.

As amusing as this has all been for so long, isn't this enough already? There is no one contributing anything useful, other than pies flying through the air, to this discussion that really took place over eight years ago. Sorry to do this, but unless the moderators totally disagree it might just be time to lock this one up?
@EA_Lanna
@EA_Leeloo

Nikkei_Simmer

@igazor. Agreed. TS4 solutions in the TS3 section probably will not help those who are looking for an answer to this solution and as @lisasc360 has indicated the OP has probably long since figured out the solution.

This is beyond Necro'd!!!!! Please, please be mindful of necroing threads in future folks. Closing thread.
