Game guide:How to care for twins and triplets

Having twins and triplets is hard in The Sims. To avoid having the social worker take your Sim's children away, here are some helpful tips to help ease the strain of being a parent to twins and triplets.
 * Always have one parent stay at home. Using the 'Motherlode' cheat over and over again should put your Sim in a good enough financial position to have one parent stay at home.
 * if Ambitions is installed (The Sims 3 only), the father can easily be self-employed (for example, inventor or painter) and the mother quit her job (if any) to have both parents at home for an easier time.
 * Create a seperate room for the babies. It may seem easier to have them stay in the parent's room, but it's really not.
 * Place a single bed in the nursery. Have the parent who is not working sleep with the babies during the week, and have the working parent sleep in the nursery over the weekends. That way at least one parent will be catching up on some sleep, while the other tends to the children.
 * In The Sims 3, a helpful tool to free up space that a bed would require is the Sleeping Bag introduced in Generations. Not as effective but can be used anywhere.
 * If you feel like you cannot handle having only one parent at home, call a babysitter. Having a babysitter with the stay at home parent makes it much easier to manage. That way the parent can focus on not only their children, but other things as well.
