TS3 Pregnancy Length Pack FINAL - 12hrs to 9mos!
Ashkitty:
Preface: I deleted my ponderings on teen woohoo that were here originally since that has, thankfully, been made a moot point at this time. This is also pretty officially my last update on this. On to the treasuaarrr!
Ashkitty's TS3 Pregnancy Lengths Pack
My original nine day mod (vr 1.5) has not changed, I just renamed it and stuck it in this pack. You don't have to redownload it.
This is [now] a set of Pregnancy Mods that changes the time your sims are pregnant, with a few other miniscule tweaks. I hope you're all happy now! ;P
I have tested things on my game, and everything seems to be working well. If you use this, please let me know. I'm a terrible debugger, but if you find any problems specifically related to this, I would like to hear about them!
With <3,
Ashkitty
STANDARD NINE DAY PREGNANCY
"Still my favorite, not too little or too much for me!"
- Sims water will break when they go into labor!
- Sims pregnancy lasts nine days instead of four.
- Will begin showing pregnancy at four days.
- Start preggo walking after six days.
- Sims show full belly after seven days. Should blend up in size.
- Pregnant sims now get nine days off work.
- Will start having a chance of pregnancy motives at 12 hours, up from 8. Nausea should not be affected.
- Maximum days as an NPC Baby changed to 3, up from one. Why was it one. o_o
Bug fix: A time issue has been changed with baby birth. If you had an issue with vr 1.0, this should change things. If you install it during the middle of a pregnancy, I have no idea if it applies to that birth, so when it doubt, has another babby!
Bonus feature: You get a slightly increased chance of having multiples from listening to both kid tv and kid raido together (raised from the bonus you already get from vanilla TS3).
--> FROM HERE ON, everything remains the same as in my original mod, except for what is explicitly stated.
TWELVE HOUR PREGNANCY
"Like an In'n'Out burger, only arguably less delicious!"
- Symptoms begin at hour: 1
- Small belly visible at hour: 4
- Funny walk starts at hour: 6
- Big belly time at hour: 8
- Begin contractions at hour 10 (has babby at 12hr)
- Special to 12hr: Contractions are 10 minutes shorter, cause.. it makes sense..
- Special to 12hr: No days off.
*I didn't want to make this as instant as possible, as I've seen a "have baby now" in the advanced debug options enabled by Pescado's awesome Awesomemod. It is not yet fully supported I believe, and I noticed it on an already pregnant sim only. If it doesn't work now (which incidentally I think it does...) then it likely will soon. Use that. :)
THIRTY DAY PREGNANCY
"Give mom more time to be both bloated and pampered, especially for Epic Lifers!"
- Symptoms begin at day: 5
- Small belly visible at day: 15
- Funny walk starts at day: 20
- Big belly time at day: 25
- Begin contractions on day: 30
- Special to 30day: 30 days off.
THE REAL NINE MONTH PREGNANCY
"If you use this, I personally think you are some sort of crazy. But, I guess we're all a little crazy, so enjoy it!"
- Symptoms begin in: 3rd month
- Small belly visible in: 6th month
- Funny walk starts at in: 7th month
- Big belly time starts in: 8th month
- Begin contractions on: End of 9th month, day 270 and hour 6480 specifically... wow!
- Special to 9mo: 30 days off, still. I do not know how to make "off work" start, say, near the END of the pregnancy rather than immidiately after the sim gets pregnant. Sorry. I figured 30 days off would make signifigantly more people happy than 270 days off, really.
Now, I hope everyone's happy! Furthermore, while I shall be supporting and stomping bugs out of these (though there shouldn't be any at all), I won't be making any more of these particular mods. I find this is a good range, and if you want something different, it's really not hard to do it yourself. Download S3PI tools and open any one of my packages in them. Edit the file and save it as your own.
It's really easy to figure out what's what, the code for this modification is pretty well-noted. If you want to do just this and run into trouble, pop me a pm or email and I'll be glad to help.
Oh, and I don't care whatsoever if you redistribute, just please, throw me a bone and credit me somewhere, and leave this original readme. Thanks!
Additional bits:
- Fully compatible with Awesomemod because Awesomemod is awesome.
- DO NOT INSTALL MORE THAN ONE OF THESE AT A TIME! I don't know that it would break your game, but it would probably screw something up at least temporarily. So just don't. I don't do tech support for that.
Superminifaq:
- Can't Woohoo? Romance more. Yes, even if you're max relationship. My mod does not touch this.
- Having 11, 20, 82 babies? Not my mod. Official bug.
- Think my mod might be the problem? Don't delete it yet! Do this EXACTLY:
1. When you notice a problem, stop. Use "Save As" and save your game under a brand NEW name. This way you will still have your old last save.
2. Close game entirely.
3. Restart game. Is the problem still there?
3a. Yes - remove my mod and try again.
3b. No - See? Not my mod. ;)
If you answered Yes to 3a, please email me with a detailed account of the bug and I will either try to fix it, or direct you to some help.
Enjoy!

What I'd like to know...
- There is a file in game play data called "Pregnancy - Male". Has it been confirmed that there are, no way no how, no male pregnant meshes?
I do not think we know how morph data is stored on the game just yet.
Quote
- Are there also no teen preg meshes? I would assume not, but I have no idea. I know this was handled in TS2 - can anyone brush me up on how? (No mesh? Custom mesh? Altered adult mesh?)
Well in the case morph data is not stored on the mesh itself its not a issue because it will just morph the belly as per instructions.
In case it is like in TS2, the only way is to edit the mesh and give it pregnant morph data.
Quote
- Is there a friggin search in S3PI or the eh TSR tool? Postal has alphabetical, but doesn't list the same level of resource name, ie, the descriptive one. Hell, I'd settle for an alphabetical list by resource name at this point. That would make my corrupted little heart's dreams come true.
No idea but I doubt it, this is the early days of modding and so you can count yourself lucky if you are not forced to look at the files with a hex editor.
Quote
- It seems like it would be readily possible to allow at least teen, if not male, without displaying the pregnant bellies if there are no meshes. Thoughts? Does this RUIN the REALISM of male alien preg for you?
As I pointed out, it depends how the game works with morph data.
Also I have to say this:
Looking at the issue of Sims loosing their pregnant belly when nude, its possible the game does not handle pregnant meshes by morph data on clothing meshes but uses a set pregnant clothing, that would force you to have to edit/create male and teen (male and female) pregnant meshes that was on how things were done in TS2.
J. M. Pescado:
There is no 17. That is still *12*. I'd be surprised if you managed to override what was a hardcoded script thing with an XML tuning, though. Does this actually produce 12-on-12? Did you disable the flag of woohoo as woohoo or something?
K_L_Carten:
I just downloaded it and I will tell ya what happens. I am glad I'm not the only one that thought the pregnancy was too short. Guess I miss SimBlender and the kitty killer too much. Oh, by the way thanks (baaa)

Ack. I'm just trying to keep things from degrading like they did in the related retardo land forum thread, while earnestly looking for an appropriate place to hold this discussion and glean some help.
Disclaimer: I never modded Sims 2. I am not a modder, coder, scripter, mesher, or anything. I am a dedicated hobbiest with waaay too much free time. The code that seems to make sense to me when I find it, I mess with and test. What doesn't, I leave alone, or try to figure out how it works. I'm always open to new learning, even if it amounts to "stfu noob" and/or pointing and laughing.
As I mentioned above, no, I have not achieved T-T. I don't even know how to touch scripts at this point, so if you say it's a hard-coded one of those, I'll have to set the hurdle higher.
Things I've tried:
- Changing base and/or auto ability for teens to true for files such as beds (Beds.WooHoo+Definition, and others);
- Changing "Socialization (Romantic)" ... I don't remember all the details, but adding/removing little things, particularly related to AgeGroup though I have no idea what that truly defines;
- Changing "Socializing" Various things. Tried changing YAE to TYAE where applicable; Lots of fiddles with "Best Friend" (changing "intended commodity"; "isRomantic"; replacing almost the whole full segment of Best Friend with Romantic Interest stuff)
- This interests me considerably, because depending on what I do, it either
a. Breaks the game: No sim portraits come up and clicking on them does nothing;
b. Does not break the game, however, a sim at Best Friend status, after talking to his friend, will be at Good Friend status and unable to move back up to best or beyond.
There have been a few other things here and there, but they're all just as silly and.. well, not working. The last bit at least has the most interesting errors. I think, maybe, now, possibly.. would it be a script conflict causing either the no-clicky break or the Good Friend Syndrome?
That said, of course, I am ignorant. I didn't play much base game with teens this time or last, mostly YA. Do teens (T/T, not T/YA or A) have the innate, vanilla ability to "Cuddle on bed" "Kiss on bed" "Makeout on bed"? They do have this ability in my game, but it seems to only work with my patch in. Granted, it could just be that the teen girlfriend I'm trying to get my teen boy to call over and cuddle is too distracted. They can still cuddle/kiss/makeout on a sofa. Maybe I broke it! :D
Drakron: Thanks, the current info on preg meshes, while grim, is still good to have knowledge of.
