Lack of children in Appaloosa Plains?

That's a great idea, Goat, unfortunately this is a dynasty attempt so I can't edit the houses in town.  It looks like I'm going to have to be a stalker or just marry paper boys and babysitters.    Of course there is always the possibility of making IFs real, too.

Or you can have an Architect in a dynasty for a while and modify houses within the rules

Don't breed them. It's been rumored to be the cause of the aging glitch (the one that ruined Ricalynn and my dynasties) which freezes townies ages.

Ooh, I hope not! We'll see, since my Gen 2 is married to her IF. 

A quick glance through her friends showed that they're almost all paper-kids, too, or else much older.

That's a great tip - I have to keep this in my mind if there are no kids in my hoods. I have avoided the architet career, because I don't want to make changes to the premade houses.

I think this is happening because of the many vamps running around in each town. That looks like a DISEASE!! Vamps are cool, but it has loosed the "thrill" when everyone is a vamp, because is extremely easy to turn into one. It sucks and is not blood!!

For those who play LEGACY... Myself included: We could "kick" the non-heir sims, with his/her housband or wife, along with 2-3 kids. They will find a house and begin having more kids on their own. Of course, there will be a lot of "cousins", but that will help a little. And for mating, your heir could always travel and look for his or her "other half" in France, Egypt or China.
