Hi there!

 I spent a dozen hours today making a fix to a family tree issue from the adoption module. This issue was mentioned to me yesterday night and I spent every waking hour since working on fixing it, which I hope tells you that I take any and all bugs and issues very seriously! So please keep notifying me if anything looks off! :)

What the bug was: It would happen when giving a sim for adoption to another family and then going to play that family. What it was doing is merge the adopted sim's grandparents with the adopter sim's parents. We never saw it in testing because we test with new saves and therefore, first generation sims!

Now all is fine again! It wasn't an easy one because baby code is horribly painful to work with! Thank you to Frank for brainstorming on this with me, which helped me get the realization I needed, the little eureka moment, to come to a solution. 

If you intend to use the adoption module, I would advise re downloading the mod here, v2.5.3. 

There have been other little fixes since initial release too, you can see a list on the download page.

Thank you so much for your patience and I apologize about the inconvenience! 

(and before you ask, yes I'm still working on Module 10, when I'm not wasting my entire day on a bug haha. Yesterday I decided to add some floating icons to let you know visually when separated sims are getting good points towards getting together again or the opposite.... There are two metrics at play with this, once of which is shared and one of which is individual, so sims can have varying levels of wanting to start over or just give up... See little icons below; as for the rest, I will keep updating the website post about the module with new screenshots as they come - and soon will be posting the request opportunity for the module.)

Much love,
Lumpinou

Thank you so much for such a great mod! Also my male sims are developing memories of giving birth though they never did😂

It just generates a buff that says “ I can’t believe I gave birth”

Hey i've downloaded the newer version, i've just given birth as a surrogate and when i click to give the baby to the family i only have the option to keep the baby, dont have the option to send to the parents

lumpinou

Check the download post under 'known issue'. This has to do with some conflicts, I give a solution there :)

Question and forgive me if you've mentioned it before but I had my sim fill out the adoption application through the adoption agency and when the agent showed up he jus stood at the mailbox waving the whole time. I tried resetting him but nothing happened. Now I do have the little ms Sam foster care mod in too. Is that a glitch or does the foster care conflict with it?

lumpinou

They're supposed to stay next to the box, they may move around a bit but they will go back to it if your sim isn't talking to them. The event being timed, and your sim needing to answer a bunch of questions, I didn't want the agent to just run around and take a shower and be lost somewhere on lot or on the sulani beach somewhere unfindable (happened to me), so this is a way for them to be always easy to find. Go talk to them there and they will do all the conversations with your sim, they generally will follow inside the house too, you can click a couch and do 'sit and chat here' and they will come. But they'll go back to the mailbox if you're not interacting with them. Compromises it is :)

Storm Coleman

Lol I feel so silly i just recorded my first sims 4 lp and I'm like why is he standing and waving at the mailbox and I clicked him and hit friendly and didn't see anything but the xml injector so wasn't sure but thank you so much for that and great job on your work😁

lumpinou

The options have their own menu, not in friendly, the menu is called something like 'adoption application' and of course it has to be done by the sim applying. Thanks! Hope you will find the options next time as I can imagine how confusing that would have looked haha

Storm Coleman

And see I didn't see that option when I clicked him and it was with the sim that applied so I'm wondering if the little ms Sam mod conflicts with it

lumpinou

No reason for it to conflict. They're two totally different things that don't step on each other's toes. If you try it again, lemme know if you find the correct options. Something could have glitched for all we know :)

Storm Coleman

Ok I will I'll keep an eye out thank you

I was wondering how I can tell my adopted children that they were adopted. I can´t find it anywhere.

Anonymous

Well the parents where Teen when they had the children. But now they are not anymore. Also, some children are already adults. I tried it as a Kid, Teen and Adult, but I was not able to find this interaction.

They have been babies. They were given away right after giving birth,

lumpinou

When did that happen? On what version of the mod? In their profile, do they see 'adoptive parent' towards the sim who adopted them?

Anonymous

Well nothing I thought I could tell them that they were adopted, but when I click with my adoptive parent on an adoptive child I could not find the Interaction anywhere. Well with the profile there is something weird too. I don´t know if it is on purpose or not but in one parents profile it says adoptive parent and in the other it says dad/mom.

Hi, do you know how I can get my sims out of a non exclusive relationship. I’m not sure if I’m just missing it but I can’t find a way to remove the non exclusive relationship from a sim’s profile.

lumpinou

There's an interaction to go exclusive. And I think also an interaction to just break of the non exclusive arrangement without becoming exclusive boyfriend etc.

yuna

Thanks for replying, I’m not seeing an interaction to break the non exclusive arrangement. I checked under the mean, romance and relationship wellness menu but I’ll check if another mod is causing the issue.

lumpinou

Relationship wellness is from Woohoo Wellness, it's a different mod. The interaction should be under romance under the submenu 'relationship type'

Hi, after the surrogate had the baby I invited her over to the house. I click the 'ask about pregnancy progress (after birth)'button and she isn't producing my baby 😕 .. I have the latest update added to the game so I'm not sure what's happening.

lumpinou

Hi, look under 'known issues and limitations' on the download page to know what to do. Strange circumstances cause that and a solution is provided there.
