27th Aug 2008, 08:15 PM	Game crashes at birth #1
Purplerainfreak Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 9	When my sim starts to give birth and the box comes up saying "there is a new family member on the way" my game says "the application has crashed and will now terminate". Does anyone know why its doing this? I've tried removing all custom content and that didn't work, and I don't want to have to lose my family. If anyone would help that would be great, thank you

Please go through and do the steps on this FAQ, including any others that it links to (for example the Game Help:Game Problem-Problem Custom Content^wiki FAQ). Usually, in the vast majority of cases, actually going through and doing the steps (doing, not just reading) fixes issues - sometimes you may be asked to remove custom content, or to patch - please rest assured that all of our FAQs have been tested by our staff and volunteers and we wouldn't suggest you do something unless it's been known to fix particular issues. Also make sure you are not already maxed out on the number of allowed members in a particular household. If you already have the max and, then try to give birth thus adding more, this can happen. On occasion you might be asked to do a long FAQ - please make sure you do all the steps and don't just skip over them. You'll often find that these long FAQs have all the details you need. If nothing in the above FAQs fixes your problem you may post again detailing exactly which you have done and which steps failed.

If you look around you may be able to find an addon that enables that skin for children/babies, but as it was made, the skin does not include any infant ages, and thus crashes when the game tries to generate a baby using it.

Canoodle Coffee, anyone? Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 6,081 Thanks: 434 in 13 Posts 4 Achievements	Yup. The unlocked skins don't have a baby morph/whatevertheycallit. I'm sure somewhere this little tidbit is in a FAQ. I just remembered it off the top of my head. So, don't feel bad for not finding it right away.
