Help! Darleen's Baby's in Limbo!
DrBeast:
Have you tried JM's Lot Fixer? The Re-enable Controls option.
ZephyrZodiac:
Tried everything else, never thought of that one! Slaps wrist! Too late now, I've closed down everything and restarted my PC! If it happens again, I'll try that!
C.S.:
This might be slightly off-topic, but I'm wondering which method of resurrection did you use, resurrect-o-nomitron or SimPE? I'm asking because every single time Darleen woohoos in my game (she was brought back via SimPE, before I read about her being the only one that could be brought back by the phone), the 1st woohoo cut scene will play. Didn't matter that she's had another child (tried for a baby the old fashioned way) since her resurrection, the game doesn't seem to remember she's no longer a virgin :P, which makes me wonder if something is wrong with her character file, maybe it's incomplete or some such, or if I just didn't do a good job of bringing her back :-\.
I try to play out a sim's pregnancy before moving on to other lots, saving before the impregnation and maybe only save again when they go into labour. That way, I could be sure nothing's gonna go wrong, and if it did, I don't waste too many hours of gameplay. It also helped that I have backups to go back to before the pregnancy. It's a bit tedious, backing up before every gameplay session, but it's helped me out a few times when my pregnant sims just wouldn't give birth. I haven't experienced the bug where a birth would disable controls, it's only overdue pregnancies so far. Hope things turn out well with your Darleen's pregnancy the second time around :).

There's re-enable controls. Insimenator has an option to re-enable saving too. Also next time you could try messing around with changing the lot zoning and doing boolprop dormspecifictoolsdisabled false and see if any of that enabled saving.

I've had baby-frustrations in the past, too. When I first resurrected Bella, Joe got her pregnant, she had Justin, was back in her red dress, then later I teleported her off the lot. Or maybe I had Joe tell her goodbye. I don't remember. He invites her over the next day, and she's hugely pregnant again, and has their daughter as soon as I made her selectable (I think I was using the Mind control mirror for that? This was last April or May before the shift-click option worked), back to red dress, buh-bye Bella and thanks for the baby. Next day, same thing, another daughter named Colleen. When she tried to have yet another baby the next time she came over, I decided enough was enough and left the lot without saving (luckily I'd saved after Colleen, so I didn't lose her). I re-entered the lot, called her over and she was not pregnant, this time. But, Jeez, if Joe were a human he'd have gone running for the hills if his one-night stand kept coming over and depositing babies on his lawn like a Pez dispenser! I never figured out what happened, there. And, of course, Bella and Joemuch later had those other 11 babies with no glitches whatsoever. Don Lothario is a bit bewildered, though. ;)
