Theoretically, I don't allow any of my Sims to have more than two. In practice, many have three. I even have a favourite couple (who are both probably just babies where you're up to right now!) who has three but both have rolled up the want for a fourth and I just can't say no!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-64431619827991289092010-03-16T02:25:35.883+11:002010-03-16T02:25:35.883+11:00It only bothers me now when they want grandchildre...It only bothers me now when they want grandchildren because these are more or less my "settler" sims and they are set up pretty much exactly how I want them. And for them to want another grandchild when their own "child" is nearing 50 years old, it gets annoying. I only allowed 3 families to have more children than I had originally wanted and that was still an accident (when I was still getting used to ACR and didn't stop the "try for baby" interaction in time). But with the next generation, they might get as many grandbabies as their little hearts desire lol.Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-4282894427620390682010-03-13T08:33:18.985+11:002010-03-13T08:33:18.985+11:00Danielle, LOL, mine seem to lose a lot of their ch...<b>Danielle</b>, LOL, mine seem to lose a lot of their charm once all their kids have moved out! As you go through the blog, you will read <i>much</i> whining about empty nesters!<br /><br />I actually don't mind so much when the elders want grandchildren. I don't know what it is that makes them kind of boring to me once they reach that stage but it's almost universal. Elder = boring.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-72670126725597640852010-03-13T02:35:35.309+11:002010-03-13T02:35:35.309+11:00Ah ha!

I will definitely try out the Smooth Talk interaction with them now.<br /><br />And yea I see what you mean about the elders. They do seem to lose all their charm once they age, unfortunately. My current elders tend to always want grandchildren no matter what their aspiration.

I take some pictures and then use them in their kids' updates. So the parents don't disappear completely, but I don't have the pressure of centering a whole update on them. I don't figure that out for another 15 rounds or so though! LOL.<br /><br />The rose is actually a special interaction that only Romance Sims (I think they have to be Romance primary, not secondary but I'm not positive) have. It's called Smooth Talk and it's one of the lifetime benefit rewards that came with AL. No need to stock their inventories - unlimited supply! ;)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-25059244254049687852010-03-12T06:44:24.450+11:002010-03-12T06:44:24.450+11:00Here I go reading your older posts again trying to...Here I go reading your older posts again trying to catch up :). Way back in maybe 2006 or 2007, I tried a retirement home and also got bored with it. I was playing with the idea of doing it again since we have so much more stuff with all the EPs that came out since then, but don't want to fall into the same rut. I was thinking of not having them live in separate apartments so I wouldn't have to play each one individually (I used Sim Logical's doors with keys to assign rooms before), but then that might screw up when they age. I don't know. I have a little while to think about that (let alone have to find the right retirement home for them).<br /><br />I wanted to ask about the rose I keep seeing your sims give other sims. Do you remember where you got that? I think that's a great idea to "stock" those in romance sims' inventories to give to their next conquest. :)<br /><br />Ok, I better get back to work lol.<br />~DanielleDaniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-91544881304479549192009-02-02T10:33:00.000+11:002009-02-02T10:33:00.000+11:00Yeah, this little twist was more out of necessity ...Yeah, this little twist was more out of necessity that anything else.
