- General note about custody visits: Many things in the game may happen to make it so that a child will not transfer back exactly at the planned time, because the process could not happen right then. Don't panic, there are plenty of fail-safe systems built in so that the transfer will be attempted again until it goes through.
If a sim is at work or something else at the time of transfer, and prevents the transfer from happening, no worries! Invite on lot the other parent and the child will transfer back. You could also travel, reload household, etc, the kid will transfer no problem. There is also an interaction to 'send child back early' or 'get child back early' which can also be used for that, if you don't want to invite sims or reload etc.
If using this system, you must accept and understand that delays may happen in having the child travel back.

2026-01-07 00:43:23 +0000 UTCI'm having issues with the Custody/Permanent Seperations module where I can't do either of the permanent seperations/divorce.

2026-01-04 19:17:03 +0000 UTCHi, all it requires is not living together and having a child together, so it sounds like they should see it unfortunately to diagnose how or why they aren't and continue from there, we'd need to see sim info logs on the discord to see what's askew with their situation

2025-12-30 23:28:02 +0000 UTCMy couple divorced, moved to different houses, and I still don't get the custody option

2025-12-30 16:53:12 +0000 UTCHi, you can't see days on the calendar but if you know when your sim's birthday will be in advance, you can just use 'make children switch household now' to make the sim switch back to yours. However if it doesn't let you 'see' birthdays on the calendar either, I'm not sure π€
Lumpinou
2025-06-01 20:53:08 +0000 UTCIs there a way to see on calendar what days the kids will come/go back? It defaulted both my sims children (different baby mamas) to an every 3 day transfer, but I can't remember when they're supposed to go home or come back lol. I was trying to make sure birthdays happened at my sims house. So I just panic aged up lol

2025-01-30 09:10:23 +0000 UTCHi, I am having problems when it's time to return my child from the custody of the other parent (automatic schedule). This is after one of my children (of 2) was taken away by social services while in custody of the other parent (the child did not show to be in my household, but was physically on my lot). Exception when applying action for loot Lumpinou_RPO_M10_Custody_CycleNew_Bit_Callback_Loot_C(loot_actions=(,), run_test_first=False, tests=CompoundTestList([])) (Exception: Error registered while running DoCommand Loot (Lumpinou RPO): Error registered while running RPO Collection by Lumpinou: Error registered while running RPO custody_cycles_throw_switch: Error registered while running RPO custody_cycles_apply_switch: Error registered while running RPO finalize_end_custody_visit: Error registered while running RPO switch_sim_household_to_picked: 'HiddenSimService' object has no attribute 'unhide')

Lumpinou
2024-11-08 19:10:33 +0000 UTCHi, would need to see the full report to help
Lumpinou
2024-11-08 19:10:16 +0000 UTCI am getting an LE for this part of the mod. It says invalid tuning on Better Exceptions
Adriana Bostic
2024-11-08 18:54:17 +0000 UTCHi! I deleted all old versions of this mod and reinstalled it, but no matter what I do, the custody social interaction won't pop up in any instance. Like it's not an option for me. Any suggestions?
Camry
2024-10-16 10:15:14 +0000 UTCHi, I don't know for sure since I have not seen that in game myself as of yet, but since the infant patch babies are even more messed up than before, so it's much possible I will have to investigate when I can
Lumpinou
2023-05-17 03:14:06 +0000 UTCHi there. Wonderful mod. Thank you for all your hard work. My Sim went to court and won custody but the kids (triplets) didn't move in. Is it because they are still babies?
Storm
2023-05-17 02:43:15 +0000 UTCare you going to re-add it in the future? I love this mod btw its great!
HayHay23
2023-05-12 16:27:36 +0000 UTCThat's normal, the repeated schedule function was removed many months ago due to too many users being confused that the schedule couldn't and wouldn't always be exact due to their sim being at work and other such things. It may or may not return in some different shape. The timed visits are still there.
Lumpinou
2023-05-11 17:21:52 +0000 UTCI followed everything from that link ^. I still can't get shared custody just the 1-3 day visits :/

2023-05-11 16:31:47 +0000 UTCHi, info in the FAQ should be relevant https://www.patreon.com/posts/76258385?utm_campaign=postshare_creator

2023-05-01 00:25:36 +0000 UTCI'm having this issue as well!
2023-05-01 00:23:32 +0000 UTCThank you!!

2023-04-25 22:13:19 +0000 UTCHi! My sims were divorced before I downloaded this mod, can't seem to find any options to set up visits? Already had other RPO mods installed that all work properly for me
Linnette Rojas
2023-04-25 21:54:04 +0000 UTCGlad to hear it! :)
Lumpinou
2023-04-22 23:37:33 +0000 UTCOk I think I might have figured it out. I uninstalled and reinstalled the link and it worked. Thank you.
vjinkins
2023-04-22 23:37:15 +0000 UTCI would suggest deleting all files from this mod and making sure there's nothing really old left hiding somewhere, as that happens often for people to accidentally leave sth in some folder. And to then re download
Lumpinou
2023-04-22 23:04:58 +0000 UTCOk so I already tried the divorce thing after I had them not living together and having a child. Both ways don't work for me. I tried to call the sim to see about custody I even took both sims to court and no result of both not even a notification. Nothing is working. My game is up to date, So at this point I don't know what to do to make it work.
vjinkins
2023-04-22 23:01:01 +0000 UTCThey don't even need to be divorced, they just need to not live together and have a child together
Lumpinou
2023-04-22 21:54:53 +0000 UTCI am up to date and I am testing it now to see if it works. I had 2 sims het pregnant, then married and I'm having one cheat so they get a divorce and after that I'll see if it worked. Thank k yoh
vjinkins
2023-04-22 21:53:10 +0000 UTCMake sure you are up to date and try again with some EA couple and see what happens, for testing
Lumpinou
2023-04-22 21:46:10 +0000 UTCHow do i establish custody, like I send them court and they come back with no notification, nothing has been settled. There is no visitation and no child support payment. I even moved my male sim out from his girlfriend and into his own apartment and there isnt any change or custody and child support.
vjinkins
2023-04-22 21:23:36 +0000 UTCI will definitely be waiting for it. Thank you for the mods that you have done for the game. RPO is one of my must-have favorites!
Marion Chosay
2023-04-21 22:58:02 +0000 UTCNo, there are no mods that do that. I will remake mine differently eventually. In the meantime, the manual timed visits are still there, and there's the ep13 stay over system too now
Lumpinou
2023-04-21 22:45:41 +0000 UTCDarn, okay. Thank you for getting back so quickly. Do you know of a standalone mod I could download for it?
Marion Chosay
2023-04-21 22:40:11 +0000 UTCI removed it a long while ago. Some users were too confused that due to stuff happening in game, the schedule wasn't going to be exact
Lumpinou
2023-04-21 19:28:21 +0000 UTCHow do I set up the schedule for regular visits? I don't see the option to do that when I click on send a child for a visit.
Marion Chosay
2023-04-21 19:27:38 +0000 UTCI am not understanding how to download this
2023-03-26 18:42:21 +0000 UTCHello! I know you are SUPER BUSY fixing mods, how do i get the option to do shared custody? i dont get that option </3
HayHay23
2023-03-17 17:15:40 +0000 UTCHi, I didn't change that since mod December. Can you try from the other parent?
Lumpinou
2023-01-23 02:15:00 +0000 UTCAfter the update, when I click on bring child for a vist my sim doesn't go up to the sim.
2023-01-22 22:18:20 +0000 UTCSo long as they had a kid together and don't live together, they have access. It's the same for any type of parents
Lumpinou
2023-01-22 21:42:13 +0000 UTCHow does custody work if the parents were never in a romantic relationship?
