New Tutorial: How to choose gender

Do you really want a boy, but do you always get a girl. Here is the sollution:



You can try following things (it's not sure that it works, but it can't hurt to try):

Try-Out 1:
When the man asks "Try for Baby", it might be a boy. If the woman asks "Try for Baby", it might be a girl.

Try-Out 2:
When the woman is going to give birth (she starts screaming), pause the game and save. When the baby doesn't have the gender you want, you can go back to the hood WITHOUT saving. Then you go back to the family to let the woman give birth again until the baby has the gender you want.

New Tutorial: How to change the last name

Situation 1:
When a sim is pregnant and has a baby before she is married, the baby will have the last name of the mother. When the mother and father get married after the baby was born, the baby still has the last name of the mother. So you want to change the last name of the baby.

Situatie 2: If you want a Family Tree with the last name like this e.g.: Landgraab I, Landgraab II, Landgraab III,...
This is only possible if you change the last name of the next heir.


Press the button to know how to change the last name of your sim.

New Tutorial: How to be a student without leaving mom

When you have University you're obliged to go to that neighbourhood when you want to be a student. But this is not neccessary. Your sim can live in Pleasantview as a Young Adult AND going to college.

Very useful when your young adult has a child. 

You need the insimenator for this.
Change the age of your sim to young adult with the insimenator and then the sim is a young adult in Pleasantview.
