Oh, Baby, Oh, Baby, Times Two!

I have read about others having the endless birthing glitch. Generally speaking it was either in Sims2 or Sims3. Not certain if anyone has experienced it in Sims4 — until now, that is. Yes, I play with MCCC, but I don't have things set, as I haven't figured them out yet. Before I started this family over, I would simply bring them into CAS.fulleditmode and add a toddler. This time, however, I got a bug in my ear and decided what the heck. Why not? So, once I saw that the strawberries were ready for harvest, I decided the parents would "try for baby". First time, it was a no-go, and she was sad. But, I had them try again one or two more times, can't quite remember, but the test came out positive. :)

Now, I'm playing a rotation-style between two families in this game. And even though I've got the mod to allow for more than 8 on a lot, I did move out two of the teens, since I want period piece clothing. Once you have over 8, according to the mod, you can't take the family into CAS. I found this out the hard way. Lost the newest two additions, twice. (At least it was like they never existed, no crying Sims at their absence.)

However, I still had a day or two of the four I play per household. Joannah was ready to pop, so I thought, I'm not going to change households when a birth is impending. I did let their eldest, still a teen, accompany his sweetheart to some lounge/bar/club. Well, of course, when I checked back with the main family, leaving the teen to do his thing, Joannah went into labor. Yay! She had a girl, which was planned. But, then she had another girl, which wasn't planned. Yikes. I thought, no big deal, I'll age them up and take the family into CAS and change the gender of one of them, since in the family lineage, Abraham followed Bethenia. Well, even though I aged them up, when I took the family into CAS, their icons showed them as infants. Gr. I double-checked the family relationships and then got out of CAS.

Guess who was still in labor? Twins on the lot and Mama is still in labor? Needless to say, she had two more twin girls. These two were Black. Oopsie, Joannah you got some 'slpainin' to do! No worries. I aged all four of them up. Removed three of the girls, but when I got back out of CAS, guess who was still in labor?

This was becoming a very uncomfortable mishap. I do not wish to start this save over yet again. Were I to do that, I might as well grab my prior Saves folder and place it back into the game. Sheesh.

I did the only sensible thing. I went back a game save. Used MCCC to delete the pregnancy, and then took the family into CAS and added Bethenia and Abraham. I'll have two toddlers instead of one, but at least the oldest is still 'promised' to his sweetie.

Also, it should be noted I had multiples by feeding my pregnant Sim the food to influence gender, twice before. Instead of making sure she ate three of the food items, as I did in Sims3, I tried to cut back. Now, I'm wondering if influencing the gender has been broken?

Anyone else experience this quaint glitch/bug? Or any other save-breaking problem? Please share.

    Oh wow, that's very interesting @GalacticGal. I've never experienced this before. But I have experienced where my Sims have black babies even though both parents are white. Maybe a glitch? My current family I'm playing, my Sim is an alien hybrid, with green skin. She just had twins, one was a bright blue and the other black. Not sure if that's a glitch or not, since she is half alien. Interesting genetics for sure.
    In regards to getting a certain gender, you can click MCC & pick how many males/females you want your Sim to have in her pregnancy. I always check that out just to see if she's having twins or a girl or boy, etc. I sometimes change it to fit what I want.

    Oh, I did not know this. Like I said, I'm very unfamiliar with all MCCC can do. Had I known, for instance, that I could change a non-active Sims' apparel I wouldn't have started this game save all over again. The bride turned up in the totally wrong gown, her hair in braids, and no necklace! I have 18th century cc in my game for this family. I found a very special gown (since it wasn't common until the Victorian Age to wear a white gown, but rather your best gown on the day) and I was vexed that several of the guests were also not in their specified formal wear! Be that as it may, I really don't know how to set the pregnancy module.

    I will be certain to check to see if the next pregnant Sim is about to have multiples. While there were twins in this family, it was not on the parents of the bride or the groom, or the newlywed couple. It was his next younger brother who ended up with twin boys. Sheesh. The game needs to get on track with my brain. LOL Thanks for responding!

    Love your sims lives, @GalacticGal .. and thanks for sharing ! As far as the gender food goes.. every time I have made sure that my preggers sim ate carrots, she did end up having a boy with no probs,

    God, endless childbirth. What a nightmare.

    I haven't had this happen in my game, thankfully, but I haven't lifted the eight-sim rule. Perhaps that's involved, somehow.
  • GalacticGalGalacticGal Posts: 28,286 Member
    Hm, that is a worry @AfterMidnight. I will have to ask over on the MCCC help thread.

    I think influencin gender is broken. My sim ate a load of strawberries and listened to pop music and had a boy. Usually my Sims have girls without influence so I decide to try influencing a girl and got a boy...
    To all you beautiful people out there, have a lovely day.

    Did you put them into CaS right after you had named them? I have read somewhere that you have to wait a little before doing so, as the game gets confused and creates some new twins (hence the wrong color)

    For me, if I select MCC and then select Sim Commands there is an option to edit in CAS. And it only brings that one sim. Easier if there are more than 8 sims.

    I had that happen after toddlers came out and before an update to MCCC. I have had no problem since deleting the old MCCC and adding the updated one.

    The only thing I ever had happen was my Sim gave birth twice - not to twins mind you, but to two Singletons. But then one of them vanished anyway. I was so sad, but my Sim didn't even notice. I started yelling at her, about the fact that she wasn't upset her baby just vanished. She didn't care though.

    See? I knew there was so very much I don't know or understand in the use of this mod. Thank you!

    That's the problem. I do have the latest and greatest version of MCCC 3.2.0 I used about 20+ mods from NRaas, Industries, so I'm well aware of the need to update after a patch. That's what has me scratching my head. There was no reason for what happened. Unless, the forces of darkness were just messing with me. It is the first week of Great Lent, after all … .

    You can change it on your sim's computer, if they have one. I love computers irl but don't always give my sims one. The menu is pretty similar to Master Controller by NRaas for TS3, so if you're familiar with that, you should be fine.

    And I always have experienced that with weddings/parties so I just fix it manually. It annoys me and I didn't get this glitch in TS3.

    @emmaning, thank you for the pointer. I tried to check it out in my game just moments ago, but I clicked on a Sim. That CAS Menu is totally confusing.

    Ugh! Thank you, All of you, for the responses and the tips. But, I have to start the save all over again. Seems when Catherine went missing with all the hubbub over the excessive twin birthings, she really went missing! I went back a game save and she was there, then she wasn't there. No icon, no nothing. Family isn't upset, just me. Jean; Val, Jr.; Robert; Mary "Polly"'; Catherine; Charles; Bethenia; Abraham; Elizabeth; Joseph; and Sophia. Doesn't bode well that Catherine went 'missing.' Gr. I think this time I will attempt to build "Toll House Farm", instead of making do with a premmade house. I know it's a two story and that the main floor was divided into four rooms. I'll have to guess at the rest. I do have pictures of the place and as of 1961, it still existed, although subsequent owners have added on to it. Hoping it's still there when I finally get to the Shenandoah Valley to have a looksie for myself. Face/palm.

    Never have I had so many different things go wrong in a game save before. Oi!

    I tried to use the cheat where you can pick any amount of babies for your sim to have, and I wanted her to have twins. She had the baby, and the game resumed for a few moments, and she had two more! But the second and third were listed simply as roommates, not her children. I was so upset. I just left without saving.
  • taspastarstriketaspastarstrike Posts: 61 Member
    My sims recently had twins and now it looks like there's an alien baby on the way totally my fault should never have clicked alien invasion on the Mcc command mod oops . There's all ready a teenager in the house at least she can help look after the twins
  • GalacticGalGalacticGal Posts: 28,286 Member
    @taspastarstrike, good luck with the multiples. You could use the cas.fulleditmode cheat to take the family into CAS and remove the unwanted wee ones,once they've aged up to toddler, that is. You could also 'fix' the relationship there, too.
