Sims Talk: Question about Pregnancy and University

I have a couple of questions. I know that I can use InSIM to make a YA sim pregnant while at university, but how does one go about having the baby? If a sim got knocked up, and then dropped out of uni, would they still be pregnant and have the baby normally once they transitioned? Can you do it at any stage in the pregnancy (or do you have to do it before they "pop")? I heard that you can't move the baby, once born, unless you age them to teen, which is not good for a story, but moving out a pregnant sim would be perfect if it works. I tried to find the answer to this question on my own, but my searching only unearthed the answer, "you can't get pregnant at uni unless you use a hack", which I already knew. I need more detail, and I know that someone reading this must already know the answer. I really appreciate your help!

Why do I ask? Oh, no reason... *wink* Just weighing my options.

Yep, it works!

Here's my test sim, Corrine. Isn't she cute?

I used the Insim to make her pregnant by her boyfriend, and then just for shits and giggles, also used it to force the first belly pop (since I'm not sure it would do it naturally.)

"Um, Daddy? I'm in a little bit of trouble here and I need to come home..."

Here she is as she transitioned. You can see she still has the baby bump!

Here she is leaving the dorm, still sporting that bump!

In the Sim Bin back in Strangetown, she was dressed in Maxis maternity clothes. I dropped her into her father's house and here she is as I first re-entered the lot, wearing Maxis maternity clothes and looking nine months along, lol.

But one Sim hour later, she popped back into the 2nd trimester, and from here I assume she will have a normal pregnancy.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for testing this out! It seems to work just fine. The thing where she switched to an advanced stage of pregnancy on her home lot was something I've noticed before when moving a pregnant sim in general, so that doesn't worry me.
