Story Progression Toggle: Is it borked?
vagabondher:
One thing that bugs me is coming back to a certain character to find her with a newborn baby girl, but having no way of knowing who the father is. I think it's kind of whack that it doesn't list the father, even if it was just a one night stand. I've had it happen with two characters - one, I could assume who the father was because, well, she had a boyfriend and everyone else was barely acquaintance, but the second character...she barely had one friend. Who did she woo hoo with? Or did she adopt? How am I supposed to know?
Madame Mim:
Actually that's a relevant theory on the cloning spawn. Maybe they are adoptions rather than pregnancies (it may even explain the wierd time lines involved). Maybe one of Pescado's first moodlets (or whatever they are being called) should be an adoption killer to test demon spawn origins.
vagabondher:
Yes, the time-line is very off. As in, I leave a character alone for a few hours and come back and they have a baby. So it must be adoption. That part doesn't bug me, I just wish I could know which it was and who the father is. I realize why they couldn't include memories, but I feel like it should be included in a child's family tree who both of their parents are, even if the two aren't married.
Another thing - and if there is a way around it, please let me know - filling the entire neighborhood with characters I've personally created and having story progression on to let them advance when I focus on one household for a while leads to...a whole SLEW of new characters, not created by me, entering the neighborhood. I wish there was an option to prevent this.

You could check the baby's family tree and see who his father is. If the mother is not your sim then maybe it's safe to assume the baby is adopted. Unless the game makes no distinction between adopted and biological parents.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see from your post above that they're not listed in the family tree. It makes no sense considering they were born in game. Maybe they have no father and are just the result of the game generating new sims to keep the population constant. Think of the father as a spermbank donor. ;D
vagabondher:
The post I made above you already stated that it doesn't mention the father in the family tree, and that's what I'm frustrated about. I've yet to officially adopt a baby so I don't know yet if the baby shows up as the mother's kid or if it makes a distinction that she isn't the real mother.
