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.

First I had someone resurrect him that knew him before he'd died then I moved him out of that house and onto a vacant lot. Then I put in the agesim cheat and turned him back into a toddler. Of course that meant that the social worker immediately showed up and whisked him away. Then I just had the family that I wanted to raise him call and adopt him.
My idea at the time was that, since he's a pure alien, that some scientists had cloned him and then gave him to a family to raise without telling them his background.
I checked through the pictures I still have from my old Strangetown and found this one. That's PT (Tristen) as a teen. I used the agesim cheat to change him back to an adult this time around too. As an elder he doesn't hang around long enough.

Oh, he's cute! *grin* I love him. Tristan is a nice name too.

That's interesting. There are so many ways to work around things like that in the game. Once adopted, he kept his memories? It breaks family ties, though, right?

Well if he'd still been married it would have broken that tie but he originally died before his wife did. Ressurection breaks the marriage ties so it would show that A married B and had child, C, but once A and B died, if they were both brought back they would recognize C as their child but you would have to get A and B to fall in love again and get married.
His children were still recognized as his and his grandchildren, so anything they did, like have another baby or when the grandkids made the dean's list in college, he'd get the memories of that. If I could have simply made a clone of him then he would have started with a clean slate. I could have just started him out as an adult, put him on an empty lot and still aged him back and let the social worker take him. Since he was adopted they did show as his parents, if I remember correctly.
