Pssst. It's not a bug, it's the game stupid number generator constantly throwing twins instead of single births. The only things in game that causes twins is cheesecake and the supposed twin token.
If the odds for twins are 1 in 10, then 10 twins in a row would be about 1 in 10 billion? (Apologies if this is English major math.) Or are you saying that because the random number generator is messed up that the odds for twins sometimes get stuck at closer to 100%?
This happened to me before the cheesecake thing. Because the death was a result of bug and it happened close to the conception of twins, it seemed likely that this caused the twins randomizer to get stuck somehow.
Jelenedra:
It's not caused by a bug. The game uses a sadorandom number generator. As is the case ith sadorandom, sometimes you get streaks of the same number. This stuff is explained in the War Room. USUALLY the only bug that pops up because of sim death while pregnant happens when you resurrect said sim and they are forever stuck as pregnant. At least, I have never heard of a sim death affecting other sim's pregnancies. Unless you are looking for an excuse for the sadorandom generator spewing out twin births. It just happens. I promise.
Zazazu:
I have, with TJ's mod, quad odds set to either 2% or 1%. A couple of months ago, I had a streak of three quad births in a row. Lately, my results have been what I'd expect...in the last, say, fourteen births I've had twins once with no triplets or quads. This is good, since I'm trying to keep Prospect Beach small for the foreseeable future. Fourth gen had only three spawn, at one point all under the same roof but about to split.

(I'll take the puppy killer comments as read - I'm a cat person, OK?).
It's kitten killer, not puppy killer. Only in the world of a Mac user does Moar RAM = Moar Twins. Use TJ's mod as stated, and just set quads and trips to 1 percent. This continues to show Ayshlyn's lack of intelligence.
Dea:
If MOAR ram meant more twins I'd stick with my measly 512. I have enough twins thanx. BTW, silliest thing I ever heard.
