Oh those bouncing bundles of joy, and so much more joyful when you get several at a time! We have a lovely game guide to Pregnancy that covers information on twins, triplets, and quads. You can view it here: Game Guide: Pregnancy If you have any other info and tips about twins, triplets, etc., post 'em here. If you have any questions about twins, triplets, etc., you can ask them here too. Please be sure to check the Game Guide before posting to make sure that your tip or question isn't already covered there. |

If you have twins/triplets or quads, Place a fridge in their room. This will make the feeding better. Also get two changing tables, that way both mom and dad can change their kids at the same time. And don't feed them at the same time. If you do that, they will get hungry and need a clean diaper at the same time every time. |

If you don't mind a little help, there is a hack where it makes the babies and toddlers sleep all through the night until 11 the next morning. I love it because it gives the parents/parent time to rest without calling the nanny |

Toddler Blankets that can be laid on the ground, that the toddlers can use to put themselves to bed can be MAJOR lifesavers. If you don't mind using hacks/hacked objects you can get the bottomless bottle from simlogical. Also you can get an object that lets you set the type of school for the kids, set the teens to flexi school, they can get their school work done in the morning and help out with the tots when needed as well. |

The Sims Mod Board has sorta a diaper basket that I believe refreshes hygeine or maybe bladder, haven't used it myself yet. Usable by all, including toddlers. This is good though, because it is not a global hack, just a hacked object. So you choose when and where to use it. http://www.pc-sims.com/smb/showthread.php?t=50 I also like the DMA nanny. DMA has some free service sims, and some pay. The Nanny is one of the pay ones, though. She's really helpful in the case of Quads. I personally did subscribe and got the donater set, but I believe they are available at the booty. http://www.valdea.com/ for full description and stuff... I also think Squinge's breastfeeding mod really helps. Especially the one where they will do it autonomously. Also I find this is a good time to use those paid vacation days your sim has accumulated. When the caretaker who is still home is exhausted (or if all of them are) sometimes I will have them call the nanny and go to bed. The nanny shows up and at least makes sure the kids are fed, while the caregivers get some much needed rest. Leftovers in the fridge is good, as is Jello on the counter to prevent caregivers starving to death. However, I currently have no help for when four babies all try to age transition at the same time, inexplicably all calling the same person to help them. Usually that person nearly dies in my game. Any advice on that for me would be good. |

Sims Mod Board also has a toddler couch and chair that improves motives and raises their aspiration. |

For twins/quads/triplet's birthdays - Using the boolprop cheat, set one of the babie's birthday to that day when they are not long born. Then, buy a birthday cake and get one of the parents to take them to the birthday cake. Then repeat the process with each of the babies. Or, wait until it is there birthday and get the parent who isn't being harassed by the 'help with birthday' command to take each baby one by one to a birthday cake. This method should also help to get the other parent away from the babies to watch the cake and then eat some - I had a big problem with hunger going down when it is the babies' birthdays. |

When you get the messages saying 'So-and-so is going to grow up in one day', you can use the birthday cake at that moment onwards to grow them up one at a time early. That way you don't have to worry about all the babies trying to get one person to grow them up. |

The ONLY way to get triplets and quads is the hack created by TwoJeffs correct?? Or was there something EA put into one of the EPs to make trips and quads possible?? I only ask because ever since the installation of Seasons, every time I have a birth with the Triplets & Quads v2.6 hack in my game, when it comes time for the pop-up box announcement "There is/are # of new members...." the game crashes. Births of singles and twins are no problem without Triplets & Quads v2.6 installed. (Full version.) Do I have the wrong hack, or is this hack now obsolete because of something EA added to sims? Any help would be great, and sorry to the mods if this was the wrong place to post. |

I am guessing not perhaps? I have V2.6 and everything I've found in the WCIF on this site points to the same thing... linking to V2.6. Is there a version after V2.6 or is V2.6 the correct version?? I was thinking that maybe Seasons made Trips and Quad possible in the actual game without a hack being necessary and that is why the game crashes for me with the hack installed. | |

MissTech, the only thing I can think of that might be causing your problem is if you have both the full and random versions of the hack installed, as v2.6 is compatible with Seasons. Have you run the Hack Conflict Detectin Utility (www.simwardrobe.com)? If the problem persists, you should probably ask for help in the thread I linked to above. |

Thanks! I had no idea about that program from Sims Wardrobe. DL-ed it and did have some things that apparantly conflicted. So thank you very much for your help. Going to go back in now and see if it works. Again, thank you! :D | |

Well, I tried, but no good. This time the game crashed when it came time for the pop up box to name the baby. I give up! Guess not meant to have trips or quads in my game. Thanks everyone for all your help!

How do you name and dress your twins, trips and quads? I try and give them similar names and the same outfits just in diffrent colors. I gave my last quads jewel names, Diamond, Emerald, Opal and Ruby. That darn random button gave them quad siblings. I gave them color names, Crimson, Indigo, Lavender and Slate. I hope im not alone in this! Kinda makes me feel like a dork! lol Update.... Now the two sets of quads have siblings! I went with the seasons this time. Twin girls Wynter and Summer! |

I like to give them names that begin with the same letter. Like Dean, Derek and Diana, or Mark, Mathew, Merilee and Margaret. I do themes if their parent is in some way special, like a plant sim, a vampire, royal, or something. |

I like giving my twin/more sims names beginning with the same letter. I also had a family who had 3 seperate children, all girls, and all their names began with 'Sa'. Samara, Sally, Samantha. I love naming traditions I often name children after their grandparents or great-grandparents if I can't be bothered to look through the baby names book I keep near my computer desk for the Sims!

Put a lounge chair or a bed in the room with your babies/toddlers- just in case their parents need a nap.

For some reason natural twins seem to run wild in my game. At least one in three of any given sim's pregnancy seems to result in twins! And of course they just keep birthing more and more twins since it appears to be genetic... I So a question: does creating two children of the same age in create-a-family give them both the little twin token thing since they are technically "born" at the same time? |

I find having snapdragons and using smartmilk make raising twins so much easier. And also have that toddler bed by Atavera helps too, saves having to bed the babies to bed
