How to adopt a child in "Sims 4"? Not all players are fully familiar with the topic of children in the game. Moreover, this stage of Sims life has changed a bit in the new addition. We invite you to learn not only the details about the new generation of characters, but also get acquainted with how to adopt children in "Sims 4".
Children in the Sims 4
Everyone remembers that in “Sims 3” there were four children's stages of growing up: an infant, a toddler, a child, and a teenager. In "Sims 4", the developers removed the second stage, and now a child appears at once from a crib, who goes to school.
That is, for several days (the amount depends on life expectancy) you play with a baby who can be either in his crib or in the hands of sims. Actions with the heir can be accomplished almost the same as in "Sims 3": feed, play, change diapers, rotate and so on.
When the birthday comes, the baby will turn into a child. It’s a little unexpected to see immediately the grown up heir who just did not know how to speak, but is already a primary school student.
The next stage is teenagers. These are almost young people, but still children. They go to high school and can get a part-time job (for example, as a bartender or in a cafe).
How to have a baby?
As in the previous version of "Sims", you can have a child as a family of dad and mother, and one character. There are three ways to extend the genus:
- natural - conception;
- through adoption;
- ask for the wishes of the child from the well (the item was added along with the “Romantic Garden” catalog; in case of a positive outcome, the child is added to the family).
With the release of the add-on “At Work,” men also had the opportunity to give birth. They become pregnant from aliens who abduct them. Pregnancy does not come with every abduction. This is a matter of chance. A man gives birth to a small alien who can be returned to his home planet in infancy. When a baby becomes a baby, this function disappears.
Conception and childbirth
To give birth to a child, you need to increase the romantic scale of relationships. Over time, the possibility of “Conceive a child” will appear in romantic actions. From the first time, the Sims may not succeed. You can find out by completing the action "Pregnancy Test" by clicking on the toilet. Then the character goes through three stages of pregnancy - trimesters. With each stage, the abdomen enlarges.
There are no decrees in Sims 4, as in Sims 3. Therefore, Simka continues to go to work until the birth. With the addition of “At Work,” Sims can give birth both at home and in the hospital. Be prepared that your SIM card will give birth to twins or triplets. This is extremely rare. To increase the chance, you need to purchase an additional reward for points of desires "Large families".
Adoption of a child
Is it possible to adopt a child in Sims 4? Yes you can. As in the previous version of the popular game, Sims do not have to give birth on their own. If you have an extra thousand symmolions and a computer, you can take the child from the shelter. Both couples (husband and wife) and single Sims can do this.
How to adopt children in Sims 4?
The instruction on how to take a child from the shelter suggests the following points:
- Your family should have one thousand symmolions. A computer is also needed.
- Click on the computer and the menu item "Family".
- Among the opportunities to buy a store, send on vacation, move a family, find the item "Adopt".
- A window appears with a list of all the children who can be adopted. There will be toddlers, and children, and adolescents. Gender is also different - there are both boys and girls. The appearance of the window resembles a menu with a choice of pets from "Sims 3" with the corresponding addition.
- Choose your favorite child. You can shelter one baby at a time.
- After making your choice, your sim is transferred to the shelter to pick up the child.
- At the end of the adoption process, it will be possible to select or change the name and surname of the new heir.
- Click the checkmark.
Now a new child has appeared in your family. The relationship scale between the new member and the parents will be filled by a third. Also, the baby will be listed for mom and dad as a child. Dress him / her and arrange him / her a nursery.
Before you adopt children in "Sims 4", check the availability of places in the family. The maximum number of characters is eight.
Social workers
Social workers were present in the game from the very first version. Even in "Sims 1" with improper child care, a social worker could come and pick him up. Since then, virtually nothing has changed.
In Sims 4, no matter how the child appeared, if the parents do not have time to feed him, change diapers, cheer up (low level of leisure), do homework, a warning appears from the social worker that if nothing changes, child / children will be taken. Both kids and schoolchildren can pick up. If the child’s needs remain low, a message appears that the social worker is taking him away and he is disappearing from the family. Then you cannot return the child.
We hope that you have figured out how to adopt children and give birth to them on your own in Sims 4, and you will not allow the arrival of social workers.
