I am having that same problem. My couple is in their 60s. One dies, the other remarries. This keeps going on. I guess in their 60s they cant have kids because none of the produce any. They try though!

even if they argue, i keep putting them on top of each other, and eventually they try to make a baby. i ignore the arguing.
it's really awful that the game had to end for you.

I can sympathise. I keep having to restart games but not because of bugs rather, because of my real family!

I haven't had the no-kids problem yet but I am...hmmm...persistent!

When I think they need a little one I keep hounding them evey 15 minutes or so for abit...about three/four times a day. And they only thought they had each other to argue with

bethlham -- me too!

i just wanted to say that i totally agree with the suggestion about having an option to inherit the house to some relative or nephew , so that we don't be forced to start from scratch , i think it's a great suggestion ,i really wish LDW would make a 'virtual families 2 " or soemthing like this that would have all the changes and suggestions that we have on our minds , many things could really be changed and be better in this game

I am real persistant to the point of nagging them when they argue. I even make them argue in the bedroom away from any kids they have already!! Makes me feel better when they aren't arguing in front of them.

I would like to see the house of to a distant relative too!! What a great idea. I have some families with close to $200 million and would hate to lose that.

LOLOL! "Leave the house to a random hobo!" That would be SO cool!
I know this isn't a laughing matter, and I'm really, really sorry about your game being lost, but the hobo comment made me laugh so hard!

My family have always managed to have at least one kid even if they fail to come up with another.

This is happening in one of my families. They'll go try but they never have a baby. and they're in their mid-40s so not much time left for a baby.

Here's a few ideas:
1. a) If you have the money, give them both a shot of baby boost. b) Then put them together to try every 20 minutes or so until they produce a baby (usually works for me).

2. If they're arguing I keep putting them together until they go try and then follow b above.

3. I also remember someone saying they put perfume on their peeps and then put them together.

Make a back-up of your game just in case and good luck.
