I THOUGHT IMAGINARY FRIENDS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RARE

I have a sims family they have two sets of twins. All four of them are girls and every single one has an imaginary friend! I thought they were supposed to be RARE! Why do they all have the doll? :?

    I think it maybe has something to do with personal traits. I have had it only for 2 toddlers and other one was loner...

    It's a 50% chance, so not really that rare.

    Ok, sorry if this is the wrong thread for this. But I don't want to start a forum for something so small. :)

    But, my toddler got an IF. And now she is a child, but aren't the IF supposed to age up as well? And her older sister had one too. But it never aged past the toddler stage?

    Your sim has to play with them a LOT as a toddler for them to be real.

    Oh, I didn't really want them to be real. I just saw in some simmer's pictures that they had IF that were in the child stage, but they were still IF. I'll probably figure it out sometime.

    I was reading up earlier there not RARE because if a family has a toddler a mysterious family member sends an IF via post and when the parent gets the mail from the post box the IF doll goes straight into the toddlers inventory but instead of me say this and that i will post a link so you can see for your self :)http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Imaginary_Friend

    So they always get one? Or there is just a high chance?

    Not exactly real but... For them to age up with your sims, they have to sing and play with them.

    All of my sim babies have been given them too. Four so far. I only got one of them to actually play with theres, I left the others in the mailbox. I wish it was more rare!

    All of my babies born since Generations was installed has gotten one in the mail. I haven't had any toddlers existing before Generations or toddlers created in CAS since Generatons get one.

    The toddlers have to play with the doll a lot. If they do when the toddler ages to child the doll ages also. If they become friends at some point you'll get the interaction to "offer to turn real".

    Instead of hunting for a rainbow gem I used the potion from the chemistry set to bring the IF to life and got a very attractive Sim with dark hair and a greenish cast to it.

    I've had six children in Generations so far and all of them have had IF so I assume they're not that rare. Which is a shame, because I don't like them.

    All my Generations born babies have them too and I can't delete them unless I used a cheat... At first I thought it was super cute, but now I honestly find them annoying. Also my toddlers didn't play with their skill toys because they were busy playing with the dolls.
