Is it just my games or does it seem that it gets harder and harder to have kids with each new generation?

I had NO problems getting to 6 kids with the first few generations and now (4-5) generation I find it is hard to even have 3!

"We" keep trying but it seems that even with all the jumping around there is no stork. And 'we' get a lot more "Arguing" than before?

I have tried to pass on the house to Defenitly or Would be nice couples and it doesn't seem to help.

i had a lot of adoptees early on, less now, even though i've never turned one down. i KNOW it's just a computer game, but i would feel bad turning a little orphan down. in fact, in a family with an adoptee, i'm way more likely to leave the house to the adoptee, bc i feel sorry for them. i'm pathetic lol.

I have found that sometimes if you give one or both parents the perfume/cologne, it cuts down on the arguing. I guess it puts them in the mood, lol.

My families all have children 2 years or older, but the parents will not have another child - I can't get them to go into the bedroom together...What should I do?

try the baby boost or cologne

What message are you getting when you try? There are two possibilities: they argue or it's too soon. The correct answer depends on which of those situations you are dealing with.

Well, I've been turning down orphans left and right lately, but that's because they've been showing up when my adults are turning into elders! I see no point in taking in three-year-olds when they're going to lose their adoptive parents before they're ten.

Yes you're right the is no point in adopting a 3 yr old kid if their parents die,but when they do die the left over kids will automatically be in college ready to inherit the house and money. Also it just means that you have more kids to choose from so you might get a be chance for desire of kids.

I agree with virtuoso. Also, the kids are particularly useful to do a lot of the chores that might take a long while for the elderly to carry out like picking up trash, weeding, and so on. In addition, it's always fun to watch the kids in VF. When you just have a couple of elderly peeps doddering about the game is rather less interesting.

I've noticed that all my couples in all my games for generation after generation refuse to have babies before the previous ones are at least 5 or 6 years old - usually 7 is the earliest I can get them to quit arguing with me about it. They always say it's too soon to try to make another baby.
