Sim dies on another lot
ZephyrZodiac:
But just imagine if you have a household with half a dozen kids and a single parent, and the parent goes this way! You'd lose all the kids to the adoption pool!

Ce la vie. :) However, if you have a 1/2-dozen kids, odds are at least one of them is a teen, and the kids won't be taken away if there's at least one teenager in the house. The game considers them 'adults' for the purpose of being responsible for younger siblings. That's why I usually try not to have another kid until there's a least one teenager in the house, or a child very close to aging when mom gets pregnant, so he/she is a teen when the new baby grows up to toddler.

Well, you could have created the family in SimPE just to see how a single parent with six kids under teenage would cope!

No, I wouldn't. Like I already said, the social worker hack takes care of it. Even if the parent had only just gone to work, there's plenty of time for a kid to call the nanny. I don't know how long the mod would wait before letting the social worker in, but Ricky was dead for 1 1/2 hours before his girlfriend came back from work and there wasn't even a warning about their daughter being on her own. She wasn't as it happens, there were 2 or 3 adult visitors on the lot, but for some reason they're not considered responsible enough. Had I needed to, I could have just made one of them selectable until the mother got home. Failing all that, there are ways and means to get rid of social workers - some permanent.

I said to imagine a single parent - not a single parent with a live-in girlfriend!
