I've learned that sometimes farther down the road in a dynasty you can run out of females for your male heirs to marry. I know we are not allowed to use Manage Worlds, but would it be possible to make an exception allowing us to play other families, townies, in order to produce more children? Don works really hard at it but a pollinator can only do so much. In townie households where there is no female could we go in to adopt children? I'm thinking the answer is probably no but had to ask.
Second question, if you go back into your file after having saved, closed the game etc., but children are at school or Sims at work, when you come back they wind up leaving work and school early taking a big performance hit. Other than not leaving them at work/school when you close the game, how do you prevent them from leaving when you return to it?
@JoriaThe team has always said no to your first question but the best way to get more people is to either not pollinate at all (it causes the game to move family in like it's supposed to because it's not near the limit)*This is happening in my game, families are moving in* , Move an elder into your family and have them adopt, pollinate in stages. Only do a few mothers, invite them over to dance to pop music. If no one has a girl, choose a boy from that pollination to move in and have him start pollinating the rest of the world that isn't related to him.
Edit to Add: And let's not forget my 2 new favorite way to get spouses/friends. 1) Connections or Grade A High school student + entering every career. This forces the game to come up with co-workers, especially the 3 Get Together careers. 2) Hiring NPCs. There are so many things you can hire these days from DJs, Masseuses, Nannies, Gardeners & More that one is bound to be a female for a male or a male for a female. And really at that stage. The older the better.
Second question: When you load into the game choose a community lot and travel there with a Sim that is not at work/school. however this will cause them to lose any buffs you had going when you did save the game but it will keep them there. ( Give me a second and I will load a picture to better explain this)

Choose your household and which Sims you plan to take to that lot. You'll get a load screen and then it will load into the lot you've chosen.
