I Have A Question, in SL can you have babies, and if you can do they stay babies or do they grow up

Well if you have a baby, eventually it will grow up into a real person at which point you'll have to pay for another basic account and they'll move to the teen grid for a few years... but eventually they get to move back to the main grid and become full fledged avatars with pet humans!

hehe, sorry. You can either get an avatar to play your child, or get a prim baby. but the only way they'll grow is if you roll play/script/model them a bigger avatar.

You can't have babies in SL.

You can put some prims together in the general shape of a baby and script it to cry.

There's a difference.

Or you could do that and sell these weird demi-creatures to other people, and then have shitty tech support for them.

You can shrink your avatar and make it look like a baby. :p
Just do some forum research before buying a prim baby though. some people seamed unhappy with some merchants in the past. o.-

If they think they are having sex, I pity them.

Is it just me who noticed an unusually high percentage of General threads are about prim babies?

So, does this mean furries and catgirls can have litters? Imagine taking care of a half dozen young children with human intelligence. You'd need a couple nannies to keep track of them all.

Huh, does this mean the baby idea came from TSO? I assumed it was just something an SL resident dreamed up.

What I like about the Sims.....
05-17-2006 04:46
Is that you can mostly control the other people :-)

In soviet SL, avatar controls YOU!

While you can't have babies the ideas WAS mentioned at the last SLCC that new accounts would in-fact be children of existing accounts.

You can, btw, employ someone to "play" as your child, but you may find it more rewarding to have a prim baby.

Use "FIND" and just type baby or prim baby.

I'm willing to wager that most attempts at capturing "conventional" life (kitchens, babies, bedrooms) come from TSO.

Considering how much time most women put into NOT getting pregnant, the number of baby-happy women in SL is staggering... or are they all guys using female avs?

As someone said, you can turn these babies off :) It's (role)playing with dolls. You can have all the fun bits of motherhood (cute, tiny thing dependant on you for everything, fussing over it and making silly noises) without, you know, creating and being responsible for a human life.

People roleplay all sorts for all sorts of reasons (inc. men with babies!), so I don't see what's so odd about it. Of course, if people start putting their RL babies back in their wardrobes when they want to do something else, there may be a problem...

Funny how nobody wants a prim teenager?

It would be so easy too.

- always invisible, never 'present' especially when you have friends over

- music stream constantly hijacked and replaced with crap

- vehicle missing

- trash everywhere

- dubious girlfriends or boyfriends shadowing the place but not saying anything

- 2/3 your internet bandwidth gone

And the same script would work for a roomate!

I don't think TSO ever implemented babies, but it did have cats and dogs, and the original offline sims had babies.
