Scully touched on this issue - my apologies if it's been covered elsewhere in the forums.

I left my game this morning, and on coming back home tonight and firing it up, noticed one of my 70 year ladies is carrying a child! Yet earlier in the game I'd used a bit of a cheat to bring one of my villagers up to master parent level knowing that a lady over 50 wouldn't conceive (and she didn't, despite the repeated attempts!) My wife frowns on me doing this btw - OK, I know, she has a good point!

So I'm wondering ... are ladies of 50 or over supposed to be able to conceive in the game? If so, what happens to the child if she passes away while carrying the child?

My wife has had the same thing happen to one of her older villagers - I run the game on slow speed and often pause it, she runs it on normal speed at all times. Both games run on a different PC so that would unlikely be the issue.

Needless to say I'll be curious to learn who the father of this child is!
