hey does anyone know when the gender is determined for a baby?..is it at birth?..or when the mother starts showing?
cause i had twins girls, but the game crashed before i can save, so had to play it again, and saved it before she had the babies, but now i keep getting twin boys instead. =(
Did you have to get her pregnant again, or had you saved afterward? I know that in TS2, gender was determined at birth.
no it was the same pregnancy, it's saved in the morning, and that same night she goes in to labor. i've loaded it 3 times and all times they have been boys, so idk if am getting really bad odds or the gender has already been determined. ???
Bad odds, methinks, if it's the same pregnancy and you've gotten two different genders.
thanks for your reply, i hope you're right and it's just odds.
but idk, i have a sneaky suspicion that gender is determined when the mother first starts showing and it plays that music lol. i hope i'm wrong.

Sims can read the harry potterish books with the toddlers, It helps them get skills as a kid, along with the rest of the toddler books.

And if I can actually get this posted this time:
I have some books that cannot be read by either adult or children (not toddlers). Questions:
1) Can toddlers read some books?
2) Is there any way adults can read to toddlers or children?
3) Can anyone try to have their child (not toddler) try to read either the Seussian titles or the Harry Potteresque series and let me know if it works?
Basically I can't get my sim kid to read anything but the logic books.
All of the books under "Children" are for toddlers to read, which if they read enough of them, gives them a nice bonus to skills when they age! My twin girls read every book as toddlers, and they started out with level 3 in skills, and a pop up said "Because simmy child read so much as a toddler they now have a bonus and head start on life" or something to that affect. Also maxing out peg, music and block skills gave them bouns's to other traits when aged! It was nice.
You can click the bookshelf with the books in them and have a parent read to the toddler, which btw is super cute, cause they get all snuggly and the toddler will turn pages. Or you can simply click the books from the parents inventory and say "Read to:" which is what I did so I could keep track of what they had and had not read.
Then halfway through the twins toddler years, mom left a book on the floor and the toddler had a que to "Read" so I followed her and she went up and actually read the book herself! So I dragged out all the childrens books from mom's inventory and the bookshelf and had the twins read every book on their own then mom didn't have to waste so much of her own time doing it lol. It did look like a library threw up on my floor but it was worth it to get those bonus's to skills!
As far as what actual child sims can read, I'm not sure. They should have options to read all the skill books, given they have high enough skills for them. Maybe some of those books they have are like PG-13 and children can't read them, lol I dunno!

Hmm. I wouldn't know. Personally, I think EA's too lazy to change that. Perhaps someone could test it.

All three births I've heard in three different games were boys. But I do like that if you adopt you can pick age and gender. I don't remember if you got that with TS2 but I like it.
Also IDK if this was planned but I like that the adopted baby was dark skinned so she fit in with my family.
