:)I was wondering, how often do you have your sims adopt a child? Under what circum stances do you choose adoption over just using Try for Baby?
I hardly ever adopt, I like seeing my sims genes being passed down. I often forget the adoption option is even there but once I remember, i will usually adopt just to mix things up a bit.
OH! Also, what age do you normally adopt? Baby? Toddler? Child?

if there isn't gunna be a baby i will adopt a child or toddler rarely a baby
i thought it'd be easier to adopt than put her through her fifth pregnancy
:?
My adopted kids are all white.
I had one fatty tho....
That said, I did once make friendly with Opal Suarley, the child-ghost in the Sunset Valley graveyard. I picked up her grave, restored her, and raised her as my own. She was a good kid, and ended up BFF with my sim's son. If I could have officially adopted her, I would have. Does that count?
Prettest adpoted sim Jasmine
Aged to YA in the pic with her son.
I also had a gay couple once, two males, one of them a rockstar and the other a business developer (meaning: buying local businesses for profit). They adopted a female child, who ended up kind of lucky because they were rich and made her an heiress to everything!
The other times when i adopted was with regular couples who just wanted to give someone a home. Either way, i prefer for them to have biological children so there are no surprises or disappointents. So far only two of the adopted children ended up playing a major role in my game. I dont play legacies.
..I havnt adopted in Sims3 yet but i think i will jst to see how it turns out!! lol
She was really cute! She had violet eyes, tan skin, and was rather fit. I didn't make her the heir, but she stayed with my other Sims until she died. She was like a second mommy to her sisters children.
So whenever I wanted to adopt a child I knew I'd get a normal looking one. Has anyone tried that with TS3? I havent yet but was wondering if it worked?
Anyway, it seems all the adopted kids are so fat that you have to use the body sculptor 3 or 4 times before they look normal :P I think the chance of having a really good looking adopted Sim is about the same as pressing "randomize" in create-a-sim, i.e. virtually zero.
Hmm, that sounds like a really neat idea. Maybe i'll test it tomorrow if I get the time.
What I do know for sure is that when your kids are taken away by the social worker they still exist in the neighbourhood, they move into other people's houses and I can only assume that's because those families used the adoption service. I'm not sure what your chances would be of getting them if you tried the same thing.
