Moving Away
If my sims kid gets taken away can I adopt other kids after the parents die and they move away? 71.81.74.22 (talk) 14:33, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * If the parents die... how do they adopt kids? Also, parents whose children have been taken away by Social Worker cannot adopt. I don't really understand your situation there, so I can't say much.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote for Featured Media!  14:43, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Family Tree
Hi.

I'm planning on making one family, The Yellow household, for say. It consists of a couple and their biogical toddler son. The thing is, I want that child to be taken away from his family, then later adopted by another family, say, The Red Household.

The question is, to the baby, does he lose his family ties, according to his family tree? I know that he will lose all memories prior to being taken, but to him, does he still remember his biogical parents? And do/will they remember their lost son?49.48.11.102 (talk) 03:27, July 29, 2012 (UTC)

Pet Adoption Service in The Sims 2: Pets
I just had a household call to adopt a kitten at night, and it was delivered right away instead of at 10 AM the next day. The latest EP I have is FreeTime, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Dharden (talk) 17:58, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't remember this, and I don't think later EP has any purpose or reason to change this behavior. According to Prima Guide, when you adopt a new pet from Pet Adoption Service, it says:

"Once you select a pet, the Cop appears shortly with the new addition in tow."
 * It mentions nothing more about the delivery time. Prima Guide could be wrong, but they didn't mention anything about 10 AM. :/ The one from base game Prima Guide mentions this about child adoption though:

"The new family member is delivered at 10 a.m. the next day."

 * Hmm... Checking the history shows that I originally put that in on August 3, 2010]. At that time, my latest EP was Seasons. I've had FT long enough that I don't clearly remember that, but I'm assuming that it was something I'd observed in gameplay. I suppose it's possible that the intent was always that the pet would be delivered right away, but that it wasn't implemented until sometime after Pets. After all, they didn't fix the Biotech Station so the medicine actually worked until the FreeTime patch. Dharden (talk) 13:57, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
