So first let me say, I have auto aging and autonomy off. But recently I've have three sim families, which I play on rotation, be pregnant but then while I'm in another household they give birth autonomously! Which is frustrating because they get these random names! Why is this happening and how can I then change these kids names??
Side note, I as off building a house for a sim family and in my absence they had their baby! Now I can't move them in. Can you not move households while there are babies in the house?
Go Raps!

(If the issue is they're conceiving on their own via a mod or Neighborhood Stories, either adjust those settings so they can't any longer, or use the notifications to keep track and switch to the family in time. Like with Neighborhood Stories you can click on the mailbox to see what changes have happened since the last time you checked, and it will tell you if a family is getting ready for their baby to be born.)
Yeah, it's annoying that newborns are objects and can't be renamed or moved to another house! You can change the name and move house after aging the newborn up into an infant.
That's the main thing I was hoping they changed with the update but alas... nope.
But if you want and can use mods, there is a setting in mccc that let's you choose the name of sims born in a household you are not currently playing. I have this option on and get a pop up every time a sim gives birth so I can choose the name.
Are you sure about that? How are you trying to move them? I think I was able to evict a household with a baby once from the neighbourhood screen and then move the household to a different lot. But it is quite a while ago so maybe the update changed it.
I used to have this mod but have since removed it as so many updated cause it to conflict with the game.
as for names though i think you can change it once baby is infant and you can take them to cas
can't remember if cas fulleditmode cheat is needed for names tho
the way to avoid this all is really to just play the household until baby is born and switch household only after it
and yeah if its neighborhood stories babies then toggle neighborhood stories off in household management as that is just another level of baby chaos
