Hi. My sims recently adopted a baby, but it doesn´t show on her milestones that she had a baby/adopt a baby. What should I do? I don't have Pandasama Child Birth installed in my game.

2025-08-12 20:29:30 +0000 UTCHi, that is a bit of a particular situation - there is no option currently to adopt a sim with no parent, but this is a very reasonable thing, assuming that the sim has a household, and not overly complicated to add to what's already there so I will do that as soon as I can!

2025-06-20 00:31:18 +0000 UTCHi! I had a question. I'm trying to have a child orphaned and then adopted by another family but they don't show up in the adoption options. Can kids only be adopted if they were given up?
Mun
2025-06-19 22:38:06 +0000 UTCHi, it would depend on what is missing on the sim(s) so I'd need so see some sim logs to be able to say if it can be cheated on and how. You can share those on the discord :)
Lumpinou
2025-06-06 19:12:07 +0000 UTCHi! I hope you are doing well. I had a sim couple have sextuplets and give up 2 for adoption to another couple. The issue is that when the two finally became teens, the option for the adopted family to tell the teen they were adopted was only available in one. Is there a way to fix this through the debugging menu? Also, possibly in an update could you possibly make it possible to give up more than one baby at a time, without having to go through the steps of getting permission from the partners. Thanks so much for all you do. Love your mods.

2025-06-06 02:11:39 +0000 UTCHi, this is due to the EA sims special event running currently. For whatever reason the EA game test for a event running in game considers that thing an event too
Lumpinou
2024-12-23 00:18:22 +0000 UTCI can fill out an adoption application when clicking on the sim and going to adoption. It keeps saying that an event is in progress. There are no events in progress. I have redownloaded the install, cleared localcache, and repaired the game.

2024-12-22 23:39:02 +0000 UTCThey didn’t seem to be negative, the last one especially seemed really positive
chelsea lohrey
2024-12-17 06:36:55 +0000 UTCWhen you do the visit, which moodlets appear negative? Otherwise you might have a commodity related issue, EA has some weird on and off bugs with vanishing those in certain circumstances. But I can't tell, unless if you wanted to come over on discord and share logs of your sim done from right before they open the letter
Lumpinou
2024-12-16 16:21:09 +0000 UTCMy sim keeps getting rejected? I don’t get why, their house is clean, he’s a police officer, he gets paid a decent amount what else do they have 2 do?

2024-12-16 09:16:26 +0000 UTChttps://www.discord.gg/AEAsRvn We can share instructions there
Lumpinou
2024-11-17 16:43:17 +0000 UTCHow could I do that?
Kate
2024-11-17 16:31:35 +0000 UTCHi, we'd need to see some logs on discord to help :)
Lumpinou
2024-11-12 19:28:03 +0000 UTCHi I’ve had some issues with the adoption mod. Basically, if I have a sim in a couple, when I click on the ‘discuss putting child up for adoption’ or the ‘discuss adopting a child’ the action goes into the queue but then disappears and turns into a different friendly interaction. Also, I haven’t been able to find the option to contact the host family for a child put up for adoption or anything to do with telling the child that they’re adopted.
Kate
2024-11-12 17:42:02 +0000 UTCHi, that's nothing I can do about, the game tells the interaction there is an event running, it's not on my end
Lumpinou
2024-10-23 20:58:16 +0000 UTCsame here

2024-10-23 20:57:14 +0000 UTCHi, that's nothing I can do about, the game tells the interaction there is an event running, it's not on my end
Lumpinou
2024-09-29 15:39:27 +0000 UTCHi, when I try to select fill online application form for adoption it says that there is an event running, but I have no events currently running. Is there a fix for this?
Dani
2024-09-29 15:20:23 +0000 UTCHello, either you have an installation problem or the sims you're trying with don't qualify (too young, etc). We can check further on discord with some logs
Lumpinou
2024-03-17 16:47:02 +0000 UTCHi, I have a question. I downloaded after not updating in a long time and now adoption has completely disappeared from RPO. I deleted the previous version I had. The other parts of RPO is working.
Megan Pauline
2024-03-17 15:33:54 +0000 UTCHmm I see, I'll check if I left out infants somewhere in the age tests :)
Lumpinou
2024-02-26 18:55:42 +0000 UTCUpdate: As the child aged up to a toddler, I'm now able to contact the family and ask for news :)
Kornchen
2024-02-26 18:45:01 +0000 UTCHm. We could look at logs on discord to see what's missing on your sim if anything, but without that I can't say what's wrong 🤔
Lumpinou
2024-02-23 17:59:54 +0000 UTCYes, it was via Agency. I selected a random Sim my Sim doesn't know.
Kornchen
2024-02-23 17:10:32 +0000 UTCHi, the age should not matter; the adoption was with the Agency?
Lumpinou
2024-02-23 01:52:47 +0000 UTCHi, I have a question. Where can I find the option to contact the adopting family to ask for news? Couldn't find it yet. Or does the child has to get older first (currently an infant)? Thanks for help!
Kornchen
2024-02-22 18:18:31 +0000 UTCThank you for the reply. I've tried explaining it on discord. btw the rpo mod is really great thanks for it everything is working very well except the adoption part.
Nelly Stein
2023-12-11 18:23:04 +0000 UTCI assume it's a problem with the EA bug about commodity markers. If you come to the discord we can explain and show how to try to compensate for it
Lumpinou
2023-12-11 17:42:05 +0000 UTCHello there! My family gave their infant up for adoption to a friend. This friend raised the infant until it aged up to a teenager. Somehow I don't get the possibility for the adoptive parent to tell the now teenager about the adoption. Instead the adoptive parent can give the teen up for adoption. Is there a way to fix this?
Nelly Stein
2023-12-11 17:36:10 +0000 UTCI'll definitely give that I try. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it!
Isabelle Rose
2023-12-10 18:49:35 +0000 UTCHi, can you try in another household? Sometimes people have trouble for a certain while in a certain household, and it eventuality goes away. It's completely mysterious
Lumpinou
2023-12-09 21:21:59 +0000 UTCHi there! I absolutely love this mod, but I'm having an issue with the adoption portion. Nothing happens when I select the agency option fora host family. I can't imagine I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what the issue is.
Isabelle Rose
2023-12-09 19:41:45 +0000 UTCAfter my Sim adopted out her infants, she didn't show up as their birth mom.

2023-11-20 04:55:48 +0000 UTCEverything up to and including Teens
Lumpinou
2023-08-24 19:12:53 +0000 UTCMay I add to this question- can ages above toddler be adopted? or is it just those 2?
Kitten Gamer
2023-08-24 18:35:54 +0000 UTCYes due to babies having become too buggy since infant patch. Age them up
Lumpinou
2023-08-06 17:43:34 +0000 UTCHi! So I deleted it and reinstalled it. It gives me the option to put them up for adoption but now it says only and infant and toddler can be put up for adoption. Is that correct?
Sonotemo
2023-08-06 17:39:51 +0000 UTCOnce they've agreed, you need to actually give the child for adoption
Lumpinou
2023-08-06 14:51:47 +0000 UTCHi hun!! I don’t know why, but, when I click adoption, it tells me to talk to my partner, they agree, and then nothing happens. The baby is still there in the household. I tried with an adult sim and a teen sim. When I hover over the option, it says it will hold for the next pregnancy, and that’s it.
Sonotemo
2023-08-06 12:48:01 +0000 UTCI just deleted the folder and downloaded it again. It worked! Thank you for responding so quickly

2023-06-29 02:42:52 +0000 UTCWhat interaction are you using?
Lumpinou
2023-06-29 02:30:13 +0000 UTCNormally when married they would both get 'parent' directly, so idk honestly
Lumpinou
2023-06-29 02:29:42 +0000 UTCHey! I am not able to adopt a baby through this mod. Every other part of the RPO mod is working. I tried downloading it independently as well.
QueenMeBiiiiih
2023-06-29 01:02:31 +0000 UTCAm I doing something wrong? When my sim couple adopted the baby of a friend, my sim mom was listed as the baby's mother and adopted mother, and the sim dad was listed as the "step father" in the family tree? How do I have the married couple both listed as the parents of the adopted baby?
Koei Grayken
2023-06-11 18:48:32 +0000 UTCYes, any friend or family can adopt
Lumpinou
2023-05-14 23:43:57 +0000 UTCMe too unfortunately :(
Jo
2023-05-03 11:22:18 +0000 UTCI haven't been able to discuss putting a baby up for adoption, even if both sims are unhappy with the pregnancy.
Emily Brown
2023-03-27 01:59:12 +0000 UTCIs it possible to have a step-parent adopt the child of their spouse? For example, my Sim had an affair and I'd like the dad of the older children to adopt the youngest one that is not his biological child.
Amanda
2023-03-25 01:01:34 +0000 UTCOh I’m sorry, the agent shows up every time I choose not to waive the visit for $5000. My question is for tips for successfully impressing the agent, since so far I am always denied.
Zeze Schorsch
2023-01-20 23:12:55 +0000 UTCHi, The agent should always show up ; what lot type are your sims on? 🤔
Lumpinou
2023-01-20 12:14:39 +0000 UTCHey I have not been able to have a family adopt through the Agency they are always denied, whether the agent visits or not. Any tips to make it work?
