Sim dies on another lot
akatonbo:
ZZ, there are lots of other ways that the only teen-or-older Sim in the household could die besides just that one, and even if it's a house with only one adult and a bunch of toddlers who can't phone the nanny, there are also lots of ways to get another adult onto the lot and protecting the kids from being taken away. I have TJ's fix myself (that really isn't a surprise I care to have in my game), but it's just not that hard to deal with the scenario you're describing.
ZephyrZodiac:
OK, I realise most of us could deal with it, but I personally wouldn't want surprises like that!
But I don't need the fix - my sims never get totally exhausted!
Ancient Sim:
Just a single parent wouldn't make any difference, the kid could call the nanny. I wouldn't mind the social worker scenario if it wasn't for the memory wipe, which is totally unrealistic. I'd have to leave the game and go copy out all the memories in SimPE before I could return and let the situation continue, which is just too time-consuming and boring. Maybe in TS3 they'll find a way for adopted children to keep the ties to their birth parents as well. They may even introduce a way for them to search for their birth parents when they become adults - now that would be interesting gameplay. Until then, I will continue to use the mod.
Of course, if it was a baby it would be a problem. There's a mod for toddlers to use the phone, but not babies. In that case I'd have to leave the lot and manually add a townie resident in SimPE, or go to another lot and teleport the baby in. That's the way I would handle any adoption actually, because that way they'd retain their memories and their true parentage. A child doesn't forget who its parents are just because they've died, but that's how it works in the game, even if they're only minutes from becoming a teen.
ZephyrZodiac:
That's why getting into the adoption pool is such a bad idea! It's as though they've become unlinked!

I don't know if this is the place to post this but I had a YA visit a rellie and was accidentally eaten by the cow plant (I forgot to fence it back up after it got rid of the bothersome nanny). Her mom visited later that day so I added the urn to her inventory and put it in her garden next to her dad.
The next time I loaded the Uni house the YA had lived in, she was on the loading screen pic although she wasn't on the lot. I have since returned to the lot after saving and she is still on the loading screen pic. The other YAs have no memory of her death.
