REQ. More babies after eight Sims
ZephyrZodiac:
Sorry to hear that! Did you actually see the bfbvfos?
Did your mini universe end with a bang or a whimper?
Sandilou:
Babies vanished everywhere, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I had to do a manual uninstall and start all over again. I had played all 3 neighbourhoods from Sept to March, every household in turn. The storylines were all interwoven; it was like running 3 soap operas at once. Plus I had my legacy neighbourhood and a small Eden neighbourhood. The only plumes of smoke visible were coming out of my ears as I tried to find answers that could first explain what was wrong and secondly save my game.
I'm a 'born again' simmer now. I have glazed eyes and speak in a monotone voice when I repeat my mantra, 'They are only sims. Don't get too attached. I will have to start all over again with Nightlife anyway.'
Speaking of Nightlife, I play with so many fixes that I'm addicted to that I actually don't want it yet; so I'm happy to wait until the Stand Alone Patch emerges before I purchase it from the post Christmas discount basket.
ZephyrZodiac:
The Stand Alone Patch - is it fact or fiction? And will it work?
So if I have a baby vanish, then I should stop my sims having more babies if I want to keep my neighbourhood?
Sandilou:
ZZ, you could continue to play your neighbourhood. Losing a baby could be a simple glitch or as I've read over at The Insimenator, an issue to do with using SIMPE. Being unable to save babies indicates that you've used up all the character files available, so all you could do is play your neighbourhood until ever dies, or keep everyone alive using the Elixir, (or the Insimenator) forever. I found it too frustrating to continue playing like that, because it was reminiscent of The Sims (1). I paid for the generations feature, so why play without it?
As for the Stand Alone Patch...mmm. It's been promised and as such advertised, so EA have an obligation to fulfill, but they've added enough clauses to make it possible for the patch to appear anytime they feel like, any year they feel like, and for the patch to fix just one thing, or hundreds! My money's not burning my hand, so I'm happy to wait for them to sort themselves out. Besides, I've set my heart on getting The Godfather when it comes out next year. That I can't wait for!

Sandy,
That sounds like a plague of unearthly proportions for certain - too bad you didn't have Pescado's blood to smear across you doorway back then, as you do now. Remember to reapply occasionally for continued protection and as a bonus, he's apparently also a weather-beater!
I second the no purchase of Night Life, in fact I have gone back to the base game anyway.
