Wow, it seems like this was probably a difficult week to play. =S I don't know exactly what rules you are following, but the rules on Boolprop say this: "-Sims may not call for any services except for the Nanny and Adoption." So you could have called for a nanny (if following those rules). Also, I am pretty sure that when summoning aliens there is not a 100% chance that the sim will get pregnant. I am not sure what the chances are though. However, it does seem weird that he was abducted so many times and yet didn't get pregnant.
I'm trying to follow BACC and Xeno rules, but they conflict at times. The BACC rules stipulate that you can't have services without the population being 500 or higher. Xeno rules say you can call for a nanny. So... I'm trying to do both, via the Servo. It was just supremely bad luck that he malfunctioned and broke down, lol. XD
I think it's really quite strange that Damien didn't come back pregnant. I thought it could be related to mood/aspiration, but high mood/aspiration were unsuccessful as well. I dunno. At least there's the Sim Blender for next time. C:
We must be following slightly different BaCC rules then since for me, nanny and adoption are open at the very start. I can't imagine trying to play without having a nanny.
Well at least you found something to fix the problem. :)
Yay for more alien babies!! Hope you don't mind I added you as a friend so I can continue to staalk you and your pretty sims and awesome building skillz. I lol'd at the servo malfunction but I'm guessing it was frustrating for you having to break your rules :(
Can't wait to see what you have instore for Isaiah :D
I have a way of categorising things - there's the stuff I can't help and may as well go along with, or the stuff worth getting upset over. This week of play was definitely the first, lol. I spent a fair bit of time being amused and kermit-flailing rather than swearing or getting annoyed. Except for the part where Damien wouldn't get pregnant, that a-hole.
Damien, is there a problem you need to see your doctor about? It is really weird he was so pregnancy-resistant. Hope that straightens itself out next rotation.
So what happens if you don't have a nanny at the time of abduction? Do you just get a warning "it's not a good idea to leave Zinc home alone" or would the social worker come? I never thought about that before, I shouldn't let any of my Sims with kids go stargazing if there's not another adult there I guess. Hee. Except abductions are really rare in my game. Even the "summon aliens" thing doesn't work, I'm probably missing something there. Or maybe I'm lacking a hack. No biggie! (gosh I haven't played Strangetown in a while, I just realized)
Poor Damien, doesn't even have time for his own kid with all the abductions! Poor stinky Zinc in that last pic :D I love stinky toddlers. For some reason I giggle whenever a Sim walks by and does the "EWWWWW" sound but doesn't bathe them. I'M WEIRD OKAY
Oh and the patio table is a lovely idea! You had to move it from the kitchen to get Sims to actually eat there, right?
I have no idea! I think if there's a gap in supervision around 1 hour long, the game warns you that they can't be left alone. If it's longer than that, child services show up. I don't really want to run the risk either way, I might accidentally save it or some such. XD
Poor Damien. :C I feel so bad for him and Zinc, he's had next to no time with her whatsoever, and it's just not cool.
I just put the table out there and hoped that the sims would be kind enough to indulge me. Fortunately, they have! I think it's because the booth has a flower on the table, so the AI seeks the next available table instead. I'll have to remember to OMSP it, sigh.

I treated the nanny as not really a 'service'. If she's necessary for a challenge, she comes. XD

I figure as long as I have the Servo, it's not really an issue. It's just bad luck he broke down at the WORST TIME POSSIBLE. :C
