Missing baby epidemic? :3
pandasan:
Before you tell me to go patch - this is different than the 'someone came over my house and left with my baby' problem. (I'm patched up to 1.4 but I've had the problem since 1.3) Babies born in households I'm not currently playing are disappearing! When switching to these households, I can still see the babies alive in the family tree, however, they are not on the lot anymore and are no where to be found in the neighborhood. I've tried using the supercomputer hacked object to select the missing babies & toddlers, but they don't even appear in the list. I was curious.. is it possible for the social worker to take babies from inactive houses which are (apparently) neglecting their kids? I used to have several families in the neighborhood with babies and toddlers, all have vanished while I wasn't playing the lot. I use Awesomemod with Indiestone story driver. Does anyone have any clue what is going on here?
kuronue:
When unplayed sims leave home, the baby vanishes temporarily - sort of a simulated daycare. When you switch to those families, are they still away from the house? The babies might still be in limbo.
pandasan:
In most instances, I noticed the baby was gone before ever switching back to the lot. Just clicking around on the other houses in "Edit Town" I'd notice the family portrait no longer has the baby (which then prompted me to switch over and try to see what happened)
Also - I just noticed the baby is not in the relationship panel either.
violetlass:
From what I can see, it seems to me, that the 1.4 patch did its job, part of the fixes it has is that no more single adults in non-played house will have babies, so maybe it took all those babies away.
chaos:
As kuronue already explained, if all other sims in the household are gone, at work or something, then the babies temporarily disappear from the household. As soon as one of the other sims, teen or older, returns to the house, then the baby will reappear. You may have to exit and re-enter the house in order to see it, but that's how the process works.
The patch prevents new babies from being born to single parents, but doesn't take away existing ones, AFAIK.
