Vacation World Pregnancies

Post by sittingbear » December 25th, 2017, 8:51 pm

I had my sim travel to Dragon Valley. And he had a fling with a few sims 2 of which got pregnant but when I had him go home the sims didn't have their babies. I Traveled back and they were still pregnant.
So I reverted to Traveler v86 and they had the babies and since I had 2 old beta versions of Traveler I tested those to see when the problem might have started.
With Traveler 87d I got the same result as with the current v87 the sims stayed pregnant no matter how many times I traveled back and exited and reloaded.
But with Traveler 87c I got the same result as v86 they had their babies when my sim got home.
Seems something happened after beta v87c.

I was under the impression that what you were seeing with 87d and the full release was actually the expected behavior and an intended fix. I always thought that the pregnancies magically resolving thing was EA's way and meant to be reserved for worlds whose demographics do not "naturally" allow for babies and toddlers, meaning the WA worlds and Uni since pregnancies cannot typically progress while they are being played. But for worlds that are capable of being played as homeworlds or with Treat as Vacation > False, should the player ever choose to do so, isn't the foreign pregnancy being preserved at least for a while after returning home what is supposed to happen or is that totally not your understanding?

Then again, maybe I'm the one who's got this wrong and it's only a coincidence that what you have described with 87d and higher is what I would have wanted anyway.

Technically Vacation Worlds don't have a Demographics and there's no aging while your there so they won't progress unless you make it the homeworld.
The fix was I believe for Allow Foreign Aging to be possible when enabled in the Hidden Springs, Lunar Lakes, Barnacle Bay and Lucky Palms.

^^^Oops it was to allow sims in those worlds to age when Ageless Foreign Sims is disabled

Not that fix. There was some kerfuffle somewhere along the line whereby pregnant sims who were left in the homeworld were still pregnant when the traveling party returned, but they also had a (new) child due to the homeworld improperly attempting to take on the demographic profile of France (or something like that). I thought that when Chain fixed this, he also "fixed" the foreign pregnancy resolving that you now miss.

And I also thought that pregnancies in foreign custom vacation worlds (again meaning not WA and not Uni) can progress while they are being played with Traveler > Treat as Vacation set to False as mentioned. I never do that, but then I understand not every player wants to rotate active play through all of their custom vacation destinations either. There's always DE and CmarNYC's Pregnancy Controller mod to force the baby to be born on a return trip though.

I better stop until Chain responds, because as said this may not have been done on purpose.

This is working as intended, yes. Due to the age fix all worlds are internally considered vacation worlds now. This was triggering the pregnancy resolve system when returning to homeworlds and stopping that meant it had to go in non-EA vacation worlds too. Besides, the majority I got was it undesirable behavior for EA to be trashing pregnancies in non-EA vacation worlds with age skipped children magically appearing.

Thank you Chain.
Since I don't travel much I'll either stick to the WA worlds or make sure to turn off Woohooer in the non vacation worlds.
My pregnancies are 30 days I'm not staying that long in vacation world and something in my Mods folder doesn't get along with Cmar's Preg Controller and I haven't been able to find out what it is.

That's fair. I'll see about adding an option perhaps. Dealing with the travel system can be like opening Pandora's box though.

Thank you but it's just minor thing unless someone else says something I wouldn't look to much into it unless you really want too.
I could try switching out tuning mods for pregnancy by using a shorter one for the vacation world I'm in and then switching back to the longer one before going back to the home world.
