Outings baffle me
queenbrat:
Are these babies different than that New Years baby? I've gotten him or her a few times and really not sure what was going on there.
Orange Indigo:
New Year's baby is an NPC that shows up at a New Year's Party.
They're talking about the babies and/or toddlers of their playable sims showing up on their outings.
Menaceman:
I rarely use outings at all. Since I very rarely initiate any, I very rarely get invited on them either.
I loaded Ajay Loner yesterday to find that he was just about to go on a date with Bella. (I'd forgotten as it's been a long time since I've played Strangetown) The following day Bella phoned up again to ask for another date. I declined as Ajay was tired. As soon as he hung up the phone a child rang to see if he wanted to go on an outing seeing as Ajay had gotten on with 'his friend' Bella so well.
I declined that one as well.
I've never had toddlers or babies arrive on outings before but I do remember MAXIS/EA actually listing it as a bug that was supposedly fixed with one of their 'patches'.

My advice is, if you've already said yes, don't say yes again, and if the taxi doesn't arrive call one for yourself, or better yet, always take your own car (if possible).

But if you say no, first outing is canceled (talking about borkiness... eh) anyway; better again, send if possible another sim to answer the phone, and when the moron asks if sim xxx is available, say no. So far, it's the only way I found out to not scramble somehow the outing.
Huh. That's never happened to me. If I say no to the second outing and then go to a community lot the first outing usually works out just fine.
I find outings pretty boring, although I do have one vampire who gets in a fight nearly every time, which usually means his outings "rock" or whatever the top rating is. It's fun, too, kicking some ass. He especially hates Mr. Big. They go at it all the time. Hilarious. (Must be sublimating something . . . ) That guy's surprisingly tough for a poofda in a smoking jacket. Once in a while, of course, getting in a fight backfires and then I get the bottom of the ratings and everyone's pissed off for a while. But one thing my vamp never is, is boring.
Can't say that for a lot of sims, unfortunately, and I don't really want them all to be brawlers . . .As far as I can tell an outing's only point is to help your sim meet more people. I do like it when the in-laws ask a sim out after they've gotten engaged: that at least seems realistic and helps them meet their future family.

No, I am saying that my New Year's baby is what shows up when I have outings. I've never gotten a regular baby. All of it's a little weird though. lol
