2020 Mid-Season Major: A Townie Baby Boomer!

Could do something like have a painting of the baby or a song/book named after them.

[Teresa]

Maybe they could be required to get married if they want to go for a 2nd pregnancy/adoption.  Currently they only need to be Lovebirds to get started, so Married for the 2nd?

How about the first level of the Family Aspirations: Spend $1,000 on Kids' Stuff?
Alternately: Each parent must do all of the interactions available with the baby (cuddle, feed, change diaper, change dirty diaper, talk, etc). That could be interesting because sometimes those get negative social results.

[Metropolis Man]

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. We'll go with Teresa's idea to require marriage before a 2nd pregnancy/adoption.

Can we elope or is it a throw a wedding type of deal.

Let's keep it simple and just leave that up to the player. As long as you're officially married before the 2nd pregnancy/adoption - all is good.

[Nikitachi]

Can we bulldoze lots and/or change lot type?

[Vesper]

Is gender customization OK?

[Teresa]

Can we bulldoze lots and/or change lot type?

Are there any restrictions on what we can do to the lot/house when we move in?

I think there is another question in here, though - when we do want to move a sim from one household to another so they can be a couple and Try for Baby, can we do that in Manage Households, or does one sim have to invite the other?  I want to check with the team on that and I'll update when I have an answer.

I was wondering if the team had made a determination on this, or did I miss it somewhere?

No changing parents? So your townie can only have babies with 1 sim?

[Metropolis Man]

New rule just added:

• Choosing Lot Traits for Townie homes is fine, but no structural changes to homes are allowed.

Is gender customization OK?

Part of me just thinks...play the townies as they are. But, part of me also thinks, "It makes no difference." So, go for it.

[ratchie]

oooh gender customisation my plans have just changed.

Rachel

[Teresa]

oohhh, I didn't realize that was available in live, thought it was CAS creation option only. 

***reevaluating my plans now*** 

***realizing the implications for my other challenges***

[ratchie]

If a sim dies can their spouse remarry and have more babies. I'm talking accidental death or death by old age rules do not state I cannot kill sims but I doubt that I will be allowed 
 Also if I play the Goths can I play Cassandra as a separate household.

Right - no changing partners.
