I recently added some mods for the kids and parents rooms and since then none of my families have had twins or triplets only single births.. is that a glitch or something and how do I go about getting rid of these mods if they are messing with my families virility ??

I highly doubt a mod to the images would mess up the programming. If you still want to get rid of the mod, then you just have to put the original images back in the image folder.

how?

Oh... then you didn't take copies of the images before you installed the mod? Oh well, there's still a way. You just have to install the game again. The same way you did for the newer versions. (AKA, download the trial, install it, and you'll be ready to go - no uninstall required, I don't think)

well i did make a back up folder.. so I just put the pics in the original file?

and if I reinstall it, do I have to use the same site again? cause I bought it off of Gamehouse.com

I doubt it's the mods, I think you should try... While doing such, keep in mind that multiples are EXTREMELY rare.

If you made a back-up of the images, then yes, all you have to do is put those images back in the folder for the game.

Well, there is no relation between twins and mods.
I use mods, and I had twins

Yep, I have a bunch of mods and if multiples are extremely rare, I must have a really rare game cause I've got tons of multiples in my family. I do use the Baby Boost a lot though.

I'm not a programmer, but I see NO WAY that mods could affect your game in that way. Mods are simply changes to the *look* of the game - they don't change the code that affects the *actions* of the game.

Angela0125 all the mods do is change the look of the images in the game to make it look nicer. They don't affect the programming at all. I am a programmer/artist, so I am sure of what I'm telling you. The game simply isn't giving multiple births as often as it did before the last update. It did that to our game also. I use to get lots of multiples but haven't had one since the last update.

However if you still want to get rid of the modified images simply replace them with the orginal ones that were in the game. I advice all of you in my mod posts to FIRST save your orginal images before installing the mods just in case you may want to go back to the orginal or maybe even try making your own modification's to them.

Big hugs!

Simsane I had lots of multiples before the last update, and they stopped. Are you still getting lots of them with the .05 update? Just wondering, as I'm thinking about reinstalling the .04 back into my computer.

Hi Lewanda! Yea, I'm still getting them. The only thing I've noticed is that you know when you start a "new" generation and the peep is usually somewhere between 20 and 27? Well, if I buy the doctor's consult at least a quarter of them require a baby boost -- which I don't think was the case before, but I never had as many generations before I installed the .05 version either, so maybe it has something do with the fact that all my peeps are 3rd, 4th and 5th generations now and many have every upgrade I could possibly buy already -- which means I can afford the doctor's consult for no reason now and couldn't before. Maybe I would have found out the same thing if I had checked back when I didn't have any money.

But yea, I think I have had 5 or 6 sets of triplets (I will have to go look) and at least 3 or 4 sets of twins. Some of them were born to peeps that never got the baby boost and some were born to those that did. I uninstalled .04 completely and then reinstalled .05 too. Maybe it's just a fluke?

I have had five sets of twins, two in one generation, since I started using mods and all of them without the bb shot. I use the shot when the mother and fathers get past 40, and give it to both of them.

I don't understand it Simsane. I had multiples in almost every family until the last update. It may not have anything to do with the update...Still I don't understand why they'd just stop having them. I have a family that just started into the 6th generation and have deleted my other families. I just can't bring myself to delete this one though somehow.

I don't think the mods have something to do with that. It's just a question of a lucky moment for multiples to come.

I only use baby boost when it's needed - I mean, after a doctor's appointment. I tried to use once (without the prescription) and nothing happened. In fact, they had problems having kids after that.

What I noticed is that through the generations it is getting more difficult for them to have babies. Why this is happening I truly do not know.

For example, on my 1st family they had babies every time they tried. On my second they had problems, and now - on my 8th - I have to keep trying and trying for the babies to come.

I'm rather sure the chance of multiples has nothing to do with mods nor does it have anything to do with the update (1.00.05). As Moonlyght states in the above post, it's a question of luck. On 2 of my families, I've never had *any* sort of multiples. On 3 of them, (including my original family since 1.00.00) I have multiples *almost* every generation. I'd also like to note that my families are staggered as far as "new - post update" and "old - pre update".

Xray, I had multiples often before the .05 update. After that I had trouble even making them have single babies. I finally decided to revert back to the .04 version and have no more trouble with my peeps making babies. I've also had several sets of multiples since. The only problem I can see with the .04 version is that it messes up their names when they get promotions or go to college. Though as far as I'm concerned that is a small price to pay for the added ease in making babies.

Lewanda, My name is Xay, not Xray I understand your point, but I still don't believe that it has anything to do with the update. I think you are simply having trouble with multiples.

Sorry about the misspelling of your name Sweetie!

I'm not meaning to be obstinate, but I have to differ with you on the update thing though, as I had no problem making babies before .05 and then again after going back to .04. My sister is playing the game and also had problems getting babies after the .05 update. I advised her to go back to .04, and she is now a happy player.

It's not a problem And there's nothing bad about agreeing to disagree. As long as it works for you, it's all good.

To anyone thinking about "downgrading" to an earlier version, however, be warned that it could have unintended consequences that have not been seen before, and is not generally recommended.

I've noticed I'm not having as many multiple births also and I just figured it was luck of the draw. But I have noticed now that the baby can be 4 or sometimes 5 years old when I try to have another and it will say "it's too soon to try to have a baby". I use to only get that when the youngest was 2 or 3. So my last few generations have consisted of just one or two kids.

I have to agree with Pam and Lewanda.

After I upgrade to .05 version I noticed I started having problems having babies. Another thing I noticed was that later (on .04) when the baby was 2, 3 at the most, the parents could start having babies again. After I uploaded to .05 the time for them to start trying depends on the time I turn on the game after the birth - explaining:

Chloe got pregnant last night. I fed them, took care of the house and went to bed. When I came back today, the baby (Piccolo) was already 4 and they were saying it was too soon to have a baby. So I left the game and only when he was 5 (!) they agreed to try for a baby again (with no success until now).

Before Piccolo, they had Lolla - I was playing when she was "released" (*laughs*) from her mother's lap. As I was playing when it happened, they started trying again when she was still 2, almost 3 years old.

I think that if I stay a whole day off and turn on the computer with a 7 year-old last child, they will only try again when the child is 8!

I haven't noticed either a problem having babies or a lack of multiples.

The only oddness I've noticed is that if the game is paused immediately after a baby is released, and then the game is left off for a few hours, when you unpause you can immediately try for a baby again. Whereas, if you tried to have another baby immediately, they will say it's too soon. So pausing and leaving it off seems to bypass the "too soon" thing, which I'm sure wasn't intentional. I had several couples who are "No Way" or "Not Really" all have a new baby when their youngest was still 2 using this method. It doesn't work 100% and they obviously don't always have a baby when they try for one, but most of the time they'll at least try.
