Sims Talk: Question about Pregnancy and University

[strangetomato]

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.

I say practice it on a sim you don't care about.

I'd go into a completely different hood and run an experiment to see if you can get a YA to look preggo. Really all you need to do is get pics of the sim preggo. Then you could abort the pregnancy, do all the moving and restart the pregnancy once they move out.

Or, if it doesn't work out, have an implied pregnancy. Show the sim sick and then show them moved out and visibly preggo (or move them out and invite them to the college lot, the difference in looks between YA and adult is small, as long as they have the same hair/makeup you should be able to fake it).

I wonder if you can find a preggo mesh, like the preggo teen mesh. That would be ideal. All the makings of pregnancy without the fuss.

Slightly OT but funny:

Pregnancy tests! Awesome. But I wish they were in simlish... then they would be perfect.

And not out of the box. Ewww.

Yeah, what's up with that? Are those testers?

Must be a "sims thing". *snicker*

That's a good idea, but the problem is finding a sim I don't care about at all. I may have to go to uni in Veronaville and pick a random dormie. I'm such a sap.

I think you're probably right about faking it out. I can always get the sim pregnant and then abort it with InSIM before they leave uni. The baby's genetics are determined at birth, not conception, anyway, so it's not like that would matter.

The preggo mesh is a good idea, in theory, but I think that the InSIM route might be the better way to go.

Do you still have Pleasantview? Attach Sim State and use some of the boring "template" face offerings there (they're really dullsville in that maxis college).

Or experiment on a townie teen.

I use Pleasantview for experiments all the time.

Yeah, I probably will go for it at Sim State. I need to test this out now, just out of curiosity.
