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.

Who? Besides Johnny and Stella, who else is there? Johnny's still with Phi at this point (unless that changes), and I don't think Stella would pollinate Jayne when she knows that she plans to settle down with Johnny in the future.

So, you do realize that I now have to go back and re-read all the entries with her, right?

*still cursing her head off*

Yeah, you're right... Stella wouldn't do that. I just thought you might have missed the fact that Stella could pollinate her.

Oh no, I'm all over the situation! Sure, Stella could but, she wouldn't. At least, not at during college.

Don't try to confuse me.......hmph.

But, to keep all of the options open here, remember that just because people aren't having sex right now, doesn't mean that they won't be... and condoms can break (especially if the user is inexperienced). A number of these sims have slept with a lot of other sims. It could be almost anyone, really.

Have I thrown you off the scent yet? *snicker*

It could also be a guy. Your aliens have been acting all wacky lately, abducting in broad daylight an all.

If it's alien my money's on Frances (just because I'm dieing to see a Frances/alien hybrid).

But I'm still going with the "safe" bet and Jill. I don't see you "wasting" a good drama dump on a character that borders on secondary (like Stella and those). And PT would soil himself if his little girl was "in trouble".

Mmm, drama so good, like candy in my mouth.

Those are good theories, but I won't comment further.

Yes, it's time to raise the drama stakes around here. These kids haven't even started their breeding careers yet, so the potential for drama is immense.

I know it could be anyone. Lord knows if you want someone to get pregnant, they can and will. I'm just saying that certain people don't seem like likely candidates at this point in time. For some, for the storyline they seem to be following, it also doesn't look likely.

And hell, it's not like a pregnancy needs requires sex in the sim world. Especially in Strangetown, all it takes is a telescope, a probe, and a guy's booty. ;)

Beware of plot twists... they could happen. But, mostly, you're right. Some of the characters are less likely to fall prey to this sort of blunder. That makes it all the more fun if it does happen, though.

In my version of Strangetown, the alien pregnancies do still involve sex. The "probe" you speak of isn't a piece of lab equipment, remember. :D
