Pregnancy Controller Question (SimPE)
HRH Posie:
I have no idea. Changing the third set of numbers doesn't seem to alter the pregnancy in any way :(
Zythe:
I was wondering if possibly it referred the game to the previous woohoo before the controller was issued, to make that show as the father on the tree, since for the purpose of storytelling, her memories referred to having "cheated with Mystery Sim" etc., so you can see why I'm not sure.
Does anyone who did the Brandi Broke research have the answer?
Ancient Sim:
What is puzzling about Brandi Broke is that although Skip does appear as the father in SimPE, when the child is born it's definitely not Skip's insofar as it has none of his DNA. It's a similar situation to Pollination Tech#9 and Jenny Smith, who always have a baby with the darkest skin, even though neither of them carry that gene. Somehow, things have been set-up in a way that's bypassing the genetic data visible in the normal way in SimPE.
HRH Posie:
Its because Skip is an unlinked sim. Here's a quote from El Presidente:
Brandi Broke *CAN* have girls, but there are a few factors which promote boys. Brandi's third child, the one she starts pregnant with, is always a boy as an artifact of the way baby genders are determined: Because Skip Broke is "unlinked", the child is always a self-pollination of Brandi. In such a case, the game is programmed to always produce a baby that is the opposite gender of the mother, so you're going to get another boy. This gives Brandi 3 guaranteed boys to start with, completely nonrandomly. If, for some reason, you want to give her *MORE* children, you have a 50/50 shot of getting yet another boy. What's more, Brandi is pollinated at game-startup. It is possible, by sheer random chance, for this pollination to result in twins, which, by the rules above, will always yield twin boys if this happens. You can easily get 4-5 boys out of Brandi with very little "random" involved yet.
Zythe:
This happened to a sim who I had been playing though... I had unintentionally caused the Brandi Broke effect. Now, I removed "unlinked" from the dad - nothing. I changed the dads using SimPE - partial success, the baby inherits his genes but he doesn't appear on the family tree. That's why I need to understand what they did with Skip... how do I get him to show on SimPE?
