Preview of the next WooHoo Wellness additions: Alternative Pregnancies (Patreon)

Hi everyone and thanks for being here! 

Here's a preview of what is upcoming for next week for WooHoo Wellness 

(should be ready for release around the upcoming Tuesday)

--------- 1. ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION --------

a. Talking about considering it

Sims who are not single are expected to talk about this with their partners beforehand.

Partners can agree to it or say they don't want it to happen. As always, the pop-ups are optional and can be turned off for the game to decide what to do, based on pregnancy preference and chance.

If a Sim says 'no', and their partner still goes on with it and gets pregnant, OR if a Sim does not talk with their partner about it first, the partner will be angry once pregnancy is discovered.

If the Sim agreed and pregnancy happens, moodlets for the partner are different depending on pregnancy preference.

Moodlets for the Sim getting the insemination go as follow unless they don't want children.

b. Getting it done

Once a Sim chooses to "Attempt Artificial Insemination", they can decide to pick the donor or let it be picked randomly.

If they choose to see portraits, they get to pick through a portrait menu who should be the donor.

Once the process is done, they come home. They can tell others about having attempted it, including their partner, who will get mad if not told before.

If it fails, they can tell others. If the Sim agreed and the attempt failed and they are told about it, moodlets are different depending on pregnancy preference.

If the Sim is pregnant, they'll be happy it worked unless they don't want children, and the pregnancy will go on normally. Once the child is of teen age, the parents can tell them they were conceived this way and not 'normally'.

---------------- 2. SURROGATE MOTHERS -------------------

a. Talking about it

For this one, if not single, it can only be done if a partner agreed. (For artificial insemination, it can be done either way)

If single, then it does not matter of course.

b. Getting it Done

(interaction location, text and look may change by release)

Sims can select to "Have a Baby through a Surrogate". Then, they chose a surrogate mother. 

During the pregnancy, they can invite the surrogate to hang out so they get to feel the baby and all that. 

Once the pregnancy is ready to be done (ie 3 days have passed), the Sim will invite the surrogate and the surrogate gives birth. (It needs to happen in your sim's home because of the way babies are in game.)

Once done, the surrogate leaves, and the baby is yours.
Your Sim has to go to the baby and "Hold New Baby" (a new interaction) so that the baby and your Sim develop their relationship of parent / offspring. 

Once  the child is a teen and older, the parents can tell the child about how they were conceived.

What about genetics?
Only the genetics of your Sim's partner will be reflected in the baby, along with that of the surrogate. I have no way for now to have both Sim's DNA and not that of the surrogate and don't know if it's something that could ever be possible.
If a Single Sim does this, then the genetics will be that of the surrogate and either the Sim asking or a random sim, depending on configuration of genders.

----------- 3. WHAT'S DONE, WHAT'S TO FINISH -------------

I have to add some moodlets, notifications, variants for single Sims, and such. Mostly I have all the moodlets and stuff for the artificial insemination, but on the surrogacy side they're all missing as of right now.

The systems are pretty much all done so it's all just about functional.

Counting time for testing, I'm expecting this to be ready around Tuesday.
Could be a bit later, but not by much.

_____________

The adoption thing is upcoming, that and the trust system I hope to finish next, after these alternative pregnancies.

I al thinking of adding the  alternative pregnancies into the core module, so there won't be an extra file for so 'little'.

That's it for now! :)
