Stay Away from this Guy in Egypt!

[Pam]

Did they woohoo without trying for a baby?

[Saltypaws]

Nope, that is the strange thing about the whole thing, the option never came up to woohoo even, and she didn't get pregnant until three days after he left.  Well, I can say this, never a dull moment with this game.  If that is the worst that can happen, I will take getting pregnant over crashes any day.  I looked in the babies family tree, seems this guy has been busy at home too, I think he 5 other kids in France and no wife, go figure.

Pam (and all other challenge players), with this new information from Saltypaws I am seriously considering completely changing the format of the Surrounded by Family challenge. Even if an unfortunate mishap happens to only one or two players it's completely unfair to those that escape unplanned pregnancies. It just might be safer to keep it similar like the original Baby Boomer until EA can finally address these magical pregnancies and fix it once and for all. I really like the idea of the mixed heritage theme of Surrounded by Family, but this bug is just too scary and could be devastating in a challenge.

[Saltypaws]

I usually plan for pregnancies, but this really threw me.  So I guess it is safe to say, no visitors either, at least if you do not want to get pregnant.  I usually don't do this, but I just aged this one up to adult and am going to have the guy move out, and boy, he is the spitting image of his dad, so that makes it easier.

He is evil and must be destroyed!

Grandpa, you know your hat would actually coordinate with Sekhmet's outfit nicely. You know, in an Egyptian kind of way.

LOL That's funny! If that rascal messes with my hat, I just might have to skin that mule. 

p.s. You tryin' to get my goat MetroMan?

Never let them know where you keep your goat!

What hat?

[Pam]

It was the hat on Grandpa Muleskinner's Sim avatar.

[Happytime]

 ... but now the hat's invisible, because Grandpa Muleskinner's avatar's invisible, SimStar3!

I really didn't realize the bugs in World Adventures went this deep. It's almost enough for me to fire up a Sim and go check up on Sekhmet Hawas, does anyone know if this behavior's been fixed?

According to the Dynasty thread this bug is still alive and well.  It can strike for any single sim who is teen or older, to any gender.  This is due to the way Foreign sims propagate themselves.  They do not have to have a romantic relationship in order to have a child, and when your sim meets them they can instantly spawn a baby (except that they don't have babies, they just pop out full grown children, no pregnancy necessary).

The only way to avoid this bug is to avoid traveling with your single sims.  If they are married then for some reason it won't happen, but if they're single... WATCH OUT!

I had magical kids in China, Eygpt, and France! I have the story in the share thread. I was mad, I already had 4 kids and 2 men living with me, so I could not be a mother to all the kids. It totally messed up my game.

[Lilygirl]

Me too. My married female Sim had a child in France with Francois Lambert, after meeting the guy's daughter, Jeannine. She never even met Francois! During the next trip to France the game marries her to him even though she went on the trip with her husband. That must have been a really awkward conversation!
