Excuse me, but I think you overlooked my question, Metro,

What about children who's father is a ghost? I told you my plan back then and you said it is ok. Now, is it ok for Agnes to get pregnant from Erik Darling's ghost?

Is this okay?

@Chronic, yeah I know you did a lot of testing, right? And you found that lifespans for ghosts were no different? So, there would be a chance of Agnes having a ghost baby? I don't know all of the differences in that lifeform. Ghost kids go to school?

I once played a ghost family. It was more than a year ago, so things may have changed and my memory is maybe not so good.

My playable Sims behaved just like others. The born-in-game ghost kids would go to school normally, age normally... Really I don't think there was anything different with that family, besides the obvious: they are transparent like ghosts, haunt randomly do do haunting sounds, and they carry the grave mark in their inventory.

The only thing I'm unsure is about accidental death. Could they die "again" from electrocution if they have the color from an electrocuted ghost for instance? Have you tested this Chronic?

Yes, all kids go to school. And yes, the testing showed that the lifespans are the same. So, am I allowed if nothing but appearance is different? :)

EDIT: @Bella, if a ghost "has to die because of something", then they die just like normal Sims.

Thank you Metro. :) I am hoping, but of course, there is only a 50% chance the nooboo will be a ghost. ::)

If that's anything like the 50% chance the nooboo will be a vampire, only 1 in 10 will be human. :)

The ghost chances are the real 50% chance not the vampire 50% chance if I remember correctly.


So what was the final verdict about someone having a child from outside the house?  Is it a green light or is it a grandfathered type of thing?    Just wondering because this could mean that my second dynasty is failed/no longer HoF.


EDIT: As in my Bella just had a child with Mortimer who was not living with us but Bella is, of course, not a part of the official bloodline.

Bloodline/Immortals need to follow the rule as written. Everyone else does not need to follow that rule.

Thats Great! Thanks Metro!  :D


EDIT : Metro - Are the New After School Club Opportunities allowed for the Black Opps? My Heir just did one of the Sports ones, I forgot the name but I've asked in the Generations Board so I hope to have it soon!

I have a question about the new career in Generations; the daycare profession.
Can it be counted as the career for an immortal? I'm pretty sure it's like any other profession.

Isn't it only 5 levels? Surely that would mean it's not eligible. Of course, Metro has the final say here.

I'm actually not sure how many levels it is, I thought it would be 10? But if it's only 5, then I guess it wouldn't be eligible.

That's what I heard. I can't vouch for it since I am currently without Generations.

I'm okay with the Daycare career counting as one of the careers. It does take a bit of work getting to level 5 — a heck of a lot more work than the Ghost Hunter profession where you can simply read logic books for 2 straight days and hit level 9 of that profession.
