![]() This is totally silly to ask, but it's been bugging me for sometime now.
I figure somebody out there must know why Sims use 2 different "Baby Signs" (pacifier pictures) in their various conversations & that somebody will explain it to me so I can quit obsessing about it. So if you know the meaning of the down-turned/lighter blue symbol... ![]() ...verses the more common up-turned/darker blue symbol... ![]() ...will you let me know???? Thanks! (The 1st picture is so dark because Sanjay & Priya were au' natural at the time. Since I don't use any "body part" mods, I hope I'm okay! If not, then I'm sorry & will pull it down. It's just the only picture I have managed to get of the "lighter" pacifier to date, as it almost never shows up in my game...)

![]() Maybe one is actually talking about babies, and one is talking about an interest in babies?

![]() I believe that Miros is correct on that one. The first one concerns baby related matters and the second is actually discussing trying for a baby/having a baby. At least, as I've noted their appearance in my game.

![]() Thanks...
That actually makes sense- although now I'm starting to question Priya's sanity, as that 2nd picture was taken shortly after she had given birth to triplets! As she & Sanjay are both Pleasure aspirations with no "Have Baby" wants, I think a visit from the Sim Shrink is in order...

![]() My guess: The first one indicates installation of a later expansion pack. I've never seen it.

Maybe they were discussing birth control? |

![]() Y'know, I don't think there's a fear of having a baby, but I would expect that a female Romance sim would fear pregnancy.

![]() I could swear I've seen it, but sometimes I see things that didn't happen...
If I did, I simply locked the accompanying "want to have a baby" and waited for the fear to go away before attempting conception. |

![]() There is definitely a fear of having a baby. It usually pops up after the first one or two come along rather quickly and an epic state of motive decay is extant.

![]() I play Knowledge Sims and reroll the LTW until I get Max All Skills. A born-in-game Sim can usually get perma-plat before graduating from college. Makes the baby thing much easier!
I do accidentally kill my pregger Sims from hunger tho... Macrotastics just isn't sensitive enough to hunger! |

![]() I, too, seem to have a vague memory of having seen the fear of having a baby, but only in family sims.
![]() Rose, you need to take better care of your sims!

![]() I was trying to get her perma-plat before the baby was born, so she could just convert aspiration points to full needs via the Energizer machine...
I either quit without saving or bring them back with the Reaper phone (Paranormal career reward). I think of it as suspended animation. |

![]() If a pregnant sim dies and you resurrect her, does she come back pregnant?

![]() Yep! Babies are defined at birth. Until then, they're just a bit flag in their mother's character file. The real reason for the "birth" cutscene is to hide the pause while the baby is created.
