Not necessarily true. I had a toddler taken away by social services, and another family in the same save decided to adopt a toddler and it was same the one my other family lost. So I turned it into an "open adoption" and had the original family befriend the adoptive parents.

Wish that could happen in the Sims 4. I purposely let one of my kids get taken cause it wasn't the gender I wanted, but then I wanted it back but couldn't find it on the adoption list. Although, I've seen dogs that my sims gave up end up on the list. So maybe it's possible but I was too late?
I stumbled upon that one as a kid. My household's adult burned to death, so the toddler was taken away. Next playable Sim I made got her straight out of the adoption service.
Yup, and playable sim kids are always first in the adoption pool before the game starts randomly generating kids (or you get ones that are already populated, I tend to delete all sims on a new neighbourhood, lol)
What I also noticed when you adopt a child in TS4 there is a high probability that they will have a negative character trait, like evil or kleptomaniac lol
Sims 2, even with the social worker's vehicle glitches, reigns supreme. Plus, the added bonus of children taken away being added to the adoption pool, just goes to show how much attention to detail was taken into consideration (only to be lost to corporate greed afterwards).
Children are added to the adoption pool in TS3 as well but you have a limited amount of time to adopt them back. So you pretty much have to switch active households to do so as by the time the active household would be allowed to adopt the child will be gone.
@@SlysGames I am curious if this can occur in a vanilla game?

@@TheMya1988 Humm, that's a good question. Your right that it may in fact be Nrass that allows other households to adopt children taken by social services. Nrass story progression does in fact make it so that children taken from the active household are almost always adopted by non active households ( preferably one containing relatives of the child.) I'm 99% sure however that even in the vanilla game the removed child does remain within the town, just essentially being treated as a homeless Sim for at least some time. This is based on numerous stories I heard dating as far back to the very early days of TS3 (long before playing modded became super common) where people had reported seeing children taken from their household around town or even being able to invite them to parties ECT. I assumed that since the child remains active in the save for a while being able to adopt them within another household was a vanilla feature that Nrass SP made more reliable.

But to think more about it I realize that I'm not sure I've heard of a child being adopted by an inactive household without Nrass in play.
I’d say corporate greed kicked in with the sims 4. Cuz with 3, you can tell they cared. They tried new things. Basically sims 1-3 were great cuz every entry tried something new. Sims 4 is almost the entire opposite. They sacrificed the sim stuff for the improvements to building and character creation. Those aspects deserved to be in sims 2 or 3.

Kind of simulate it
Lol, it's cause this is literally the only time you'd ever see a baby or toddler in a car. Once you have a baby or toddler, you'd need a babysitter (nanny) or adult/teen home with them. Babies and Toddlers didn't travel (unfortunately) and were basically stuck being home until they became kids. That being said, still love the social worker drop off in Sims 2. It's the sweetest little animation.
I laughed my butt off at Sims 3 the way the agent ran for his life after leaving the toddler with you lmfao!!! He's all "This child is HORRIBLE so we'll just leave him here! BYE!" lmfaoooo. Also, I just love the Sims 1 sound effects ♥They never fail to make me laugh.
My favourite detail in the Sims 2 adoption is that if there are no kids in the adoption pool (as in, taken from playable families) the game performs a genetic merger from 2 random townies, so that the child appears like 2 separate parents.
Sims 2 & Sims 4 did it best I think. Sims 2 the detail and animations (except the getting out of the car part) is really good. Sims 4 however, although bland and boring, is actually really realistic in the fact YOU go pick a child from a already determined list, that's how adoptions work irl. Sims 2 is good though in the fact you cannot adopt without the necessary funds or if you've had one taken away, that's realistic. TLDR; For realism: Sims 4 For detail: Sims 2
I don't know how adoption work in the US but in France it's not people who choose a child but people making demand in the adoption agency who then choose the best parents possible for each child, of course the future parents are contacted for confirmation. Our point is children are not products, the most important is giving them what they need
@@IceRiver1020 I more or less agree. Might as well make sure BEFORE actually adopting. There are better ways than to "return" a child. Imagine the pain it is, from the perspective of a child who only wants a family, to be literally given up. Especially when this family has other children. It's pure selfishness on the part of the parents, no more no less. Saying they should return it takes away so much responsibility for how the child will feel about being returned. I prefer it to take a very long time to adopt a child to make sure it's ok, rather than having the right to return the child as if they were an object. Because I think that a lot of parents that return adopted childs, have biological children so...
@@IceRiver1020 I have no numbers. But I dare to imagine that in some cases, the parents return the child when they have their biological child. Or because it's "too hard". (and in this case, it's up to the parent to be educated before adopting, and it's up to the government to ensure parents are educated before adopting) it shouldn't be up to the child to undergo the test if the adopter is good for being a parent or not.
An hour ago I was looking for " How to get child back from social worker Sims 2" and now this video is uploaded . What a coincidence! I always love to watch videos from you! ❤
If you use testingcheatenabled true, and shift click in your Sim, you can spawn the Tombstone of L and D. Often your lost kid will be under, "Get family member." I recommend getting the mod that puts the name and surname of the Sims in L and D, or else you have to guess by first names. If they are not under Get Family Member you might have to search a long time under "Add neighbour to family," they will usually be near the end. If they have not been adopted by someone else, they will retain a relationship and family tree connection to the original fam. I don't know if they can still accidentally be adopted afterwards, so don't adopt that age from now on until they become teens.
Honestly. The fact they get in, with the doors differing how they open in terms of the type of vehicle, how expensive it is, etc, is detail on a whole different level. TS4 could never.
Were they glitchy looking? Sure. But they had soul!!! The animations were like. Mind blowing to me as a child when sims 2 was the most recent game. They’re actually quite good for the time, even if most game graphics from that time have aged a little oddly. I can’t help but wonder how much better they could look now with advancements in technology, if only they had like. Tried at all
Sims 1: You can only adopt if you have 2 adults and the call is random. Sims 2: Expensive, but you better take care of them or else you will never be able to adopt again. Sims 3: Free, and you can adopt as much as you want and abuse as much as you want. Sims 4: You can abuse as much as you want as long as you have the money for it.
@@tintaverseThat's not true for the Sims3, sims with the "neglectful" moodlet cannot adopt. I've tried (basically to re-adopt a pet that got taken...), even deleting the moodlet using the manager didn't help in that case...
@@AmyBlxssomneglect is abuse as well. Ignoring them, not feeding them, etc. I don't think physical abuse in the Sims is actually possible, abuse in Sims across the board mostly comes in the form of neglect.
It's important to mention that in Sims 2 adoptive toddler and child will have a face from Make A Sim, but an infant/baby will have face features from two random townies, which makes it original
I'd like to add than in Sims 2, if the sim who is initiating the adoption is married, then the adoptive child/children will show up in the family tree as direct descendants of the couple. Exactly as biological children would show. If the sim isn't married (even if they are as close to married as being engaged) then the adopted child/children will be shown as direct descendants of only the sim who adopted them
In Sims 2 my Sims adopted a toddler and the social worker brought one that had been taken away from another household, but the kid was still blue and frozen and before the social worker could take him out of the car another social worker arrived to take the child away because my Sim had "neglected" him. It was my first and only time adopting in Sims 2.
Oh my god the baby cries in TS1 are still so hilarious to this day 😂😂 Originally I thought they were annoying, but I heard them so much that they basically transcended existence and became funny and iconic 😂
@@tintaverse I would legit lock my sim in a room with the baby until it aged up! It felt like a dungeon...I think all those hours spent playing Sims 1 is the reason I decided to never have kids irl. 😂
It bothers me that in Sims 4 you can just "buy" kids... It somehow feels wrong xD I like it best how Sims 2 did it, with a background check and a check if you actually have enough money to take care of a kid ^^"
Once, in the Sims 2, I was able to get my child back that was taken away by social services by adopting him. I think I married someone new and he made a call for an adoption. Lo and behold, my former kid came back. The memory they got was very cute. Something like a miracle had happened and they were together again.
watching sims 3 animations makes me appreciate how sims 2 is sooooo fluid sims 3 they stop for a second before they do anything really just like sims 1
Honestly the Sims 4 adopting system (and all the adoption systems really) aren't too detailed and are basically just like having your own child. I really recommend mods that make the system better, for example the one I use makes it a lot deeper, with neglected, "whisked away" kids having the option to be adopted by other parents, adopted children being able to look for their real parents, and so much more.
I think you mean 'biological' parents not 'real'. My mom considered the mother who took her in as a teen way more her real mother then her biological one. I do think there are limitations to the game when it comes to adopted and found family. But that's partially just a programing problem in deciding what the family tree represents. But your real parents are the ones that REALLY raised you even if they aren't the biological source of your DNA. Legally speaking, you are the child of your adopted parents 'as if you had been born to them' once you are adopted. And have all the rights of a child born to them as they have all the responsibilities taking care of you as they would a child born to them. Foster Care is different as the intent of foster care is temporary with state support and usually has the intent of giving parents a chance to get their kids back. This is not adoption. Adoption is a situation where parents give up parental rights (or have them taken) and the child is fully transitioned to someone else as the parent and all rights and responsibility are supposed to transfer and exist as if you had been born into that family. No Sims game has that transitional phase built in where kids are being fostered (there is a foster care mod for Sims 4 ), but if you lose a kid your parental rights are pretty much cancelled in game. And the adoptive parents take over those. The only real problem with the game coding is yes they risk a Sims could marry a 'biological' sibling or even parent because there is only single stream records for family tree and not dual stream records of who is family. Now these are just pixels so there are really no real life consequences to this, it just squicks the player if they know what has essentially been removed from that Sims memory.
@@bornwithhorns I think they're referring to Lumpina's Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul mod, specifically module 9. Though I haven't had any sims "whisked away" but I know that you can give up a sim child up for adoption and they can later be told they're adopted and can choose to pursue finding/contacting their bio-parents. Other than that, maybe MCCC? I think that there's a setting that has baby-child sims who lose the adults in their household get placed with another household. The notification says that that household "adopted" them, but there's no connection when you physically go into the household. Also, hard agree that adoptive parents *are* real parents.
@@TheDawnofVanlife I’ve actually had that mod for ages now but I haven’t had my child taken away…. Yet😂 thanks for letting me know tho x. Im def gonna test it out when I get the chance
I also remember that in The Sims 2, if in one family a social worker takes a child from you, then when adopting from another family, choosing the appropriate age, the child from that family will come.
In Sims 1, a same sex couple can get a prompt for adopting after passionately kissing or using the heart bed, just like a hetetosexual couple get a prompt for 'having' a baby. You don't need to wait for a phone call. In Sims 2, you can adopt previously playable babies, toddlers and kids if they were removed from a household without a family aspiration member (unfortunately I think Grow Up counts as Family so you don't want to remove multiple toddlers or kids). They go into a pool from which they can be randomly selected. They lose all connection to their birth parents and can even marry siblings from their old family.
Adoption in the Sims 1 isn’t the only way to get a baby, although the way it’s handled or animated is much similar. The other way is when two sims are kissing and making out enough sometimes a pop up displays asking the question “Would you like to have a baby?” Click yes and a crib with baby appears much like it does when adopting. I think this was Maxis’s shortcut to pregnancy since they didn’t woohoo until the vibrating heart bed was introduced (and I think one of two-person hot tubs as well?).
The Sims 2 is so realistic, that's why it makes TS2 always the best! I just wanna play it again with the origin detail and animation, but with The Sims 4 graphic :(
Sims 1 & 4: magic appear Sims 2: baby in a car (without safety seat no beltway for safe) 😱😭😅 Sims 3: beautiful baby in basket 🧺 for perfect than sims 2! But one thing… toddler not fit in basket. 🧺😅😭😂 I wish service adopted can carry with toddler than basket 🧺 Hmm I think that better in sims 3 for basket 🧺 .. I wish add baby sit safety seat 💺 in car look better in Sims 2. I love sims 2 like more realistic for ride car!
As far I remember, The Sims 3 had a option where they would firstly send the social worker ro our house and see if we had conditions to adopt, and then in the next day (if you were approved) then would inform they are bringing our child
Fun fact: In the sims 2, if your child is taken away, they will be next in line to be adopted by another household. I used to play around with this a lot.
What's pretty screwed up but in a funny way about The Sims 2 and 3 adoption processes is like...in the Pets expansion packs for I believe both games but I know 2 is the pet social workers or police officers(in 2) will greet the sim when they drop off the pet but when it comes to ACTUAL HUMAN CHILDREN, they just drop and run. No greeting. Nothing.
An interesting thing that happened to me in Sims 2. My family had one kid and two teens. The kid got taken away (I was like 9 and I didn't know how to properly feed kids in the game 😂). When one of the teens aged to an adult, she adopted a kid. It turned out to be her SISTER who was taken away much earlier in the game. I always thought that was really cool and sweet!!
If a relative dies or children from a previous marriage and the parent responsible for them dies... you can check if they are on the adoption list and adopt them, but after a while they are no longer there
Sims2 is the winner for me. I also remember how happy I was that the first kid that got taken away by the social worker was not gone forever and could be adopted by a better family. (I'll never forget. My romance sim Mom was on a date with Kennedy Cox. When the social worker showed up the date went south and later Kennedy left a flaming poo bag on her porch. Fun times! :D ) In Sims 1 I had too much trouble with kids always being sent to 'military school' for grades. lol To be fair I never adopted in Sims 3 or 4, so I was glad to see the differences.
I can't stand that we've really gone back to the beginning and a baby shows up out of nowhere in the house in a cradle. I ignore the fact that the open world itself has disappeared and the sim disappears when it goes somewhere... This is terrible.
I would create some toddlers any kind of way and one grown up. I'd cheat the adult into a toddler. Because there was no adult in the home, the social worker would come and snatch them all away. I'd play a family and have them adopt. The last toddler I had created and lost, would show up to be adopted by the new family. Sims 2 is my favorite for adopting.
7:06 how tf did that big a** todler fit into that basket?? Also in the Sims 2 there is a detail I like very much (which unfourtunately isnt in any of the later games) : If a child (of any age) is taken away from one of your simfamilies and you go to another simfamily and chose to adopt a child of that age, the kid joining your household will be the taken child.
Actually, in the Sims 1, 3 passionate kisses in a row between 2 adults living together will prompt the game to ask if you want to have a baby. If you say yes, a bassinet will appear. Adoption is not the only way. Also that glitchy ass baby in the backseat of the car made me laugh. Oh memories.
Damn. I actually never play sims 3. How the heck does it look worse than sims 2. It looks like when someone has 1 week to write a 3000 word essay but just decided to do it 2 hours before the deadline. The social workers dont even bother to open the door. They just teleport inside wtf.

My favourite detail in the Sims 2 adoption is that if there are no kids in the adoption pool (as in, taken from playable families) the game performs a genetic merger from 2 random townies, so that the child appears like 2 separate parents.
This is something I learned today, I had no idea, all these years I thought the game would just generate a baby from scratch.
The Sims 2 coming out superior like always. Looks like they really haven't been able to reach that standard since. 😂
Sims 3 and 4 has some improvements being able to chose age and gender in 3 and have a list in 4, otherwise Sims 2 is the best one as always.
🤷♀️ I actually like TS4's adoption system more as you can see what the children look like before you adopt
I mean it’s EA games what do u expect
@@TFAric I guess...
@@caramelapples4393 I know. I'm just saying they USED to be good.
Sims 2 & Sims 4 did it best I think.
Sims 2 the detail and animations (except the getting out of the car part) is really good.
Sims 4 however, although bland and boring, is actually really realistic in the fact YOU go pick a child from a already determined list, that's how adoptions work irl.
Sims 2 is good though in the fact you cannot adopt without the necessary funds or if you've had one taken away, that's realistic.
TLDR;
For realism: Sims 4
For detail: Sims 2
I don't know how adoption work in the US but in France it's not people who choose a child but people making demand in the adoption agency who then choose the best parents possible for each child, of course the future parents are contacted for confirmation.
Our point is children are not products, the most important is giving them what they need
@@Kazeira I wouldnt be surprise that you can choose in US, because, at least in some states, you can "return" a child, so...
@@shiminisillters1848If someone *would* return a child, they *should* return the child, because they're obviously not fit to be parents.
@@IceRiver1020 I more or less agree. Might as well make sure BEFORE actually adopting. There are better ways than to "return" a child. Imagine the pain it is, from the perspective of a child who only wants a family, to be literally given up. Especially when this family has other children. It's pure selfishness on the part of the parents, no more no less. Saying they should return it takes away so much responsibility for how the child will feel about being returned. I prefer it to take a very long time to adopt a child to make sure it's ok, rather than having the right to return the child as if they were an object. Because I think that a lot of parents that return adopted childs, have biological children so...
@@IceRiver1020 I have no numbers. But I dare to imagine that in some cases, the parents return the child when they have their biological child. Or because it's "too hard". (and in this case, it's up to the parent to be educated before adopting, and it's up to the government to ensure parents are educated before adopting) it shouldn't be up to the child to undergo the test if the adopter is good for being a parent or not.
An hour ago I was looking for " How to get child back from social worker Sims 2" and now this video is uploaded . What a coincidence! I always love to watch videos from you! ❤
Thankkk you so much dear! ❤ ❤
Btw the answer is a sim blender mod ;)
An actual simulation event about The Sims! How fun :)
@@hello3251 Hej
If you use testingcheatenabled true, and shift click in your Sim, you can spawn the Tombstone of L and D. Often your lost kid will be under, "Get family member." I recommend getting the mod that puts the name and surname of the Sims in L and D, or else you have to guess by first names. If they are not under Get Family Member you might have to search a long time under "Add neighbour to family," they will usually be near the end. If they have not been adopted by someone else, they will retain a relationship and family tree connection to the original fam. I don't know if they can still accidentally be adopted afterwards, so don't adopt that age from now on until they become teens.
the social worker sprinting at 5:40 with the baby had me in tears lmao
She’s a runner she’s a track star 🗣️
Sims 2 vehicles animation made the game more realistic
I love the vehicles in The Sims 2 ❤
You can easily remove the word "vehicles", TS2 has so many details in comparison to the others
Honestly. The fact they get in, with the doors differing how they open in terms of the type of vehicle, how expensive it is, etc, is detail on a whole different level. TS4 could never.
Were they glitchy looking? Sure. But they had soul!!! The animations were like. Mind blowing to me as a child when sims 2 was the most recent game. They’re actually quite good for the time, even if most game graphics from that time have aged a little oddly. I can’t help but wonder how much better they could look now with advancements in technology, if only they had like. Tried at all
@@pancake2700I swear Sims 2 is as fun to play in 2023 then it ever was. I don't even think the graphics look that dated.
Why is nobody talking about how she made the exact same house in all 4 games 😭 Girl good job 😭😭
I noticed that as well
isn't it just box house
good job? it's a f-king square
Sims 1: You can only adopt if you have 2 adults and the call is random.
Sims 2: Expensive, but you better take care of them or else you will never be able to adopt again.
Sims 3: Free, and you can adopt as much as you want and abuse as much as you want.
Sims 4: You can abuse as much as you want as long as you have the money for it.
Perfectly said ❤
@@tintaverseThat's not true for the Sims3, sims with the "neglectful" moodlet cannot adopt. I've tried (basically to re-adopt a pet that got taken...), even deleting the moodlet using the manager didn't help in that case...
@@adrianblake8876 The pet...
Why would u wanna abuse a kid? Their gonna get taken away.
@@AmyBlxssomneglect is abuse as well. Ignoring them, not feeding them, etc. I don't think physical abuse in the Sims is actually possible, abuse in Sims across the board mostly comes in the form of neglect.
Love how the baby just chills in the backseat, waiting to be adopted 😂
It's important to mention that in Sims 2 adoptive toddler and child will have a face from Make A Sim, but an infant/baby will have face features from two random townies, which makes it original
7:00 😂😂😂😂The way he put the baby down and ran out her house had me lmao!!
I'd like to add than in Sims 2, if the sim who is initiating the adoption is married, then the adoptive child/children will show up in the family tree as direct descendants of the couple. Exactly as biological children would show. If the sim isn't married (even if they are as close to married as being engaged) then the adopted child/children will be shown as direct descendants of only the sim who adopted them
I love how you kept the awkward ''terrible parenting'' scenes in your video. 😂
i like how the social worker looked at the baby as if that poor kid wronged her for one reason or another. rip that poor baby!! 😂
In Sims 2 my Sims adopted a toddler and the social worker brought one that had been taken away from another household, but the kid was still blue and frozen and before the social worker could take him out of the car another social worker arrived to take the child away because my Sim had "neglected" him. It was my first and only time adopting in Sims 2.
😂😂
Those social workers from the sims 3 came in HOT to deliver those babies 😂😂😂
Oh my god the baby cries in TS1 are still so hilarious to this day 😂😂 Originally I thought they were annoying, but I heard them so much that they basically transcended existence and became funny and iconic 😂
I knoow! They were impossible to take care of. But now I'm nostalgic so I don't really mind them ❤️❤️
@@tintaverse I would legit lock my sim in a room with the baby until it aged up! It felt like a dungeon...I think all those hours spent playing Sims 1 is the reason I decided to never have kids irl. 😂
@@tintaversethat's why you gotta have Bonehilda. She takes care of the baby so you don't have to 😌
“Mother?” “Mom?” Got me dying
2:25 That look was personally
I adopted a toddler in the Sims 2 but there was no adult home when he was dropped off. The social worker came back an hr later to get him 😂😂😂😂
ar least the baby was free
I love how TS3 don't give a 💩 if you are not adequate to be a parent they just keep bringing you babies
As long as you have money to give, they will evict that child
@@maio0077it free though
You mean 4?
@@ravenID429 No, she ment 3
It bothers me that in Sims 4 you can just "buy" kids...
It somehow feels wrong xD
I like it best how Sims 2 did it, with a background check and a check if you actually have enough money to take care of a kid ^^"
Once, in the Sims 2, I was able to get my child back that was taken away by social services by adopting him. I think I married someone new and he made a call for an adoption. Lo and behold, my former kid came back. The memory they got was very cute. Something like a miracle had happened and they were together again.
We need that sims 2 adoption sound effect in the sims 4 rn. It’s too nostalgic to let go.
watching sims 3 animations makes me appreciate how sims 2 is sooooo fluid
sims 3 they stop for a second before they do anything really just like sims 1
Totally agree, in 3 the sims move like robots, which is why I could never get into that game, even though I wanted to with the open world.
Honestly the Sims 4 adopting system (and all the adoption systems really) aren't too detailed and are basically just like having your own child. I really recommend mods that make the system better, for example the one I use makes it a lot deeper, with neglected, "whisked away" kids having the option to be adopted by other parents, adopted children being able to look for their real parents, and so much more.
I need the mod name bestie😔
I think you mean 'biological' parents not 'real'. My mom considered the mother who took her in as a teen way more her real mother then her biological one. I do think there are limitations to the game when it comes to adopted and found family. But that's partially just a programing problem in deciding what the family tree represents. But your real parents are the ones that REALLY raised you even if they aren't the biological source of your DNA.
Legally speaking, you are the child of your adopted parents 'as if you had been born to them' once you are adopted. And have all the rights of a child born to them as they have all the responsibilities taking care of you as they would a child born to them. Foster Care is different as the intent of foster care is temporary with state support and usually has the intent of giving parents a chance to get their kids back. This is not adoption. Adoption is a situation where parents give up parental rights (or have them taken) and the child is fully transitioned to someone else as the parent and all rights and responsibility are supposed to transfer and exist as if you had been born into that family. No Sims game has that transitional phase built in where kids are being fostered (there is a foster care mod for Sims 4 ), but if you lose a kid your parental rights are pretty much cancelled in game. And the adoptive parents take over those.
The only real problem with the game coding is yes they risk a Sims could marry a 'biological' sibling or even parent because there is only single stream records for family tree and not dual stream records of who is family. Now these are just pixels so there are really no real life consequences to this, it just squicks the player if they know what has essentially been removed from that Sims memory.
@@bornwithhorns I think they're referring to Lumpina's Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul mod, specifically module 9. Though I haven't had any sims "whisked away" but I know that you can give up a sim child up for adoption and they can later be told they're adopted and can choose to pursue finding/contacting their bio-parents.
Other than that, maybe MCCC? I think that there's a setting that has baby-child sims who lose the adults in their household get placed with another household. The notification says that that household "adopted" them, but there's no connection when you physically go into the household.
Also, hard agree that adoptive parents *are* real parents.
@@TheDawnofVanlife I’ve actually had that mod for ages now but I haven’t had my child taken away…. Yet😂 thanks for letting me know tho x. Im def gonna test it out when I get the chance
sad mods stop working for me but sim is sorta broken also for me
I know TS3 too well, that I recognized that cardio t.v. workout music immediately at 4:56. The memories 😂💚
I also remember that in The Sims 2, if in one family a social worker takes a child from you, then when adopting from another family, choosing the appropriate age, the child from that family will come.
The way they said "Similar to the Sims 1" in the Sims 4- that says a lot of the game...
4:05 "Are you fucking kidding me? a redhead? really? I ask for a kid and you give me THAT?! TAKE IT BACK I WANT ONE WITH A SOUL!!"
I still find odd in any sims game that teens cant be adopted.
The sims 2 actually opening car doors: superior
In Sims 1, a same sex couple can get a prompt for adopting after passionately kissing or using the heart bed, just like a hetetosexual couple get a prompt for 'having' a baby. You don't need to wait for a phone call.
In Sims 2, you can adopt previously playable babies, toddlers and kids if they were removed from a household without a family aspiration member (unfortunately I think Grow Up counts as Family so you don't want to remove multiple toddlers or kids). They go into a pool from which they can be randomly selected. They lose all connection to their birth parents and can even marry siblings from their old family.
Adoption in the Sims 1 isn’t the only way to get a baby, although the way it’s handled or animated is much similar. The other way is when two sims are kissing and making out enough sometimes a pop up displays asking the question “Would you like to have a baby?” Click yes and a crib with baby appears much like it does when adopting. I think this was Maxis’s shortcut to pregnancy since they didn’t woohoo until the vibrating heart bed was introduced (and I think one of two-person hot tubs as well?).
I think they meant you can only adopt a baby, not a toddler or child.
I think @@dimplednelleis right
5:41 😂 the fact they run with a baby
The way the sims 2 social worker looks at the baby is hilarious, the way she just dropped the toddler off lol
TS2 Social worker is definitely casting dark spells on that poor baby 😭😂
The way in the sims 3 the woman just left the baby on the floor and left the house is so freaking CRAZY 💀
The fact that the social worker just went into her house as if she owned it 💀 2:13
The Sims 2 is so realistic, that's why it makes TS2 always the best! I just wanna play it again with the origin detail and animation, but with The Sims 4 graphic :(
It would be fantastic if they did something like that with the Sims 5
4:10 HAHAH THE IGNORED CHILD😂😂
I like your humor though, it's hilarious 😂
hahaha ❤ ❤ ❤
All the little animations in Sims 2 add so much charm that is sorely missing from Sims 4.
I love how The Sims 1 and 4 just teleport to the house instantly like they have powers lol
Sims 2 when the kid was standing there had me dead😂
10:34 The kid in the background is so mad lol
the “let’sfight” for the last baby’s name😂😂
Sims 1 & 4: magic appear
Sims 2: baby in a car (without safety seat no beltway for safe) 😱😭😅
Sims 3: beautiful baby in basket 🧺 for perfect than sims 2! But one thing… toddler not fit in basket. 🧺😅😭😂
I wish service adopted can carry with toddler than basket 🧺
Hmm I think that better in sims 3 for basket 🧺 ..
I wish add baby sit safety seat 💺 in car look better in Sims 2. I love sims 2 like more realistic for ride car!
This is such a great video. Well done!! Once again your editing is killing me. I need to learn how to edit like this
Thank you sooo much! hahah Im so happy you like it! ❤
PLS the way the sims 3 social worker yeeted himself out the house
hhahah they ran for their life
2:03 The baby is like “Ima fight back by going into the chair”
The way they drop the baby off in the Sims 3 like a doordash order 😭😭😭
LOOOOOOOOOOL😩
As far I remember, The Sims 3 had a option where they would firstly send the social worker ro our house and see if we had conditions to adopt, and then in the next day (if you were approved) then would inform they are bringing our child
Fun fact: In the sims 2, if your child is taken away, they will be next in line to be adopted by another household. I used to play around with this a lot.
you can also adopt infants in the sims with the new infant update
What's pretty screwed up but in a funny way about The Sims 2 and 3 adoption processes is like...in the Pets expansion packs for I believe both games but I know 2 is the pet social workers or police officers(in 2) will greet the sim when they drop off the pet but when it comes to ACTUAL HUMAN CHILDREN, they just drop and run. No greeting. Nothing.
An interesting thing that happened to me in Sims 2. My family had one kid and two teens. The kid got taken away (I was like 9 and I didn't know how to properly feed kids in the game 😂). When one of the teens aged to an adult, she adopted a kid. It turned out to be her SISTER who was taken away much earlier in the game. I always thought that was really cool and sweet!!
The baby chilling in the backseat got me dying 😂😂😂😂
If a relative dies or children from a previous marriage and the parent responsible for them dies... you can check if they are on the adoption list and adopt them, but after a while they are no longer there
I can't with the "Please accumalate more dough" in the sims 2 🤣
3:33 bro really said damn she stink
Sims2 is the winner for me. I also remember how happy I was that the first kid that got taken away by the social worker was not gone forever and could be adopted by a better family. (I'll never forget. My romance sim Mom was on a date with Kennedy Cox. When the social worker showed up the date went south and later Kennedy left a flaming poo bag on her porch. Fun times! :D ) In Sims 1 I had too much trouble with kids always being sent to 'military school' for grades. lol To be fair I never adopted in Sims 3 or 4, so I was glad to see the differences.
The Sims 1 bassinet is just precious
the baby crying sound in the Sims 1 is so traumatizing
The face she made when the toddler was already crying 💀
seeing your videos pop up in my recommended alongside the cluster of garbage I watch feels like seeing a long lost childhood friend
I'm sooo happy to hear that dear! ❤❤
TS3 social workers had places to be 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm starting to think the social worker from Sims 2 was not really a social worker, she was ding dong ditching her kids
The scene after she adopts the child in TS2 just makes me think of the TV show ‘Anne with an E’ 🤣💀
The Sims 2 is a winner. The details and realism were wonderful.
I can't stand that we've really gone back to the beginning and a baby shows up out of nowhere in the house in a cradle. I ignore the fact that the open world itself has disappeared and the sim disappears when it goes somewhere... This is terrible.
I would create some toddlers any kind of way and one grown up. I'd cheat the adult into a toddler. Because there was no adult in the home, the social worker would come and snatch them all away. I'd play a family and have them adopt. The last toddler I had created and lost, would show up to be adopted by the new family. Sims 2 is my favorite for adopting.
That scare 🤣 7:51
the memory system should come back instead of this moodlet thingy we have now
7:06 how tf did that big a** todler fit into that basket??
Also in the Sims 2 there is a detail I like very much (which unfourtunately isnt in any of the later games) : If a child (of any age) is taken away from one of your simfamilies and you go to another simfamily and chose to adopt a child of that age, the kid joining your household will be the taken child.
LMAOO the toddler in the Sims 4 was like "girl we ain't cool like det" 😭✋🏾
I choose adoption very rarely and still never trying it in TS4 but TS2 is the winner definitely ❤
Thanks for new video 😍 you’re the best
Actually, in the Sims 1, 3 passionate kisses in a row between 2 adults living together will prompt the game to ask if you want to have a baby. If you say yes, a bassinet will appear. Adoption is not the only way. Also that glitchy ass baby in the backseat of the car made me laugh. Oh memories.
At 7:21 the mum looks like she wished she never adopted a toddler
Damn. I actually never play sims 3. How the heck does it look worse than sims 2. It looks like when someone has 1 week to write a 3000 word essay but just decided to do it 2 hours before the deadline. The social workers dont even bother to open the door. They just teleport inside wtf.
