As the title states: I like the feature that NPC families are getting kids on their own when I play in a single household save. But in a rotational save I would like to decide who gets kids and when. Is there a way to prevent the currently not actively played families from getting kids autonomously? …

Thanks a lot for bringing clarity to this:clap:. Then we can only hope for a future patch. Until then it’s “You have to sleep on the couch again, honey. Sorry”

I really hope the baby boom issues will be gone once and for all one fine day xD I can’t handle another generation of my families expanding up to a point where I have to use online name generators -.-

Fingers crossed. It feels so weird that one basically has to lock their Zois away because they multiply like bunnies :distorted_face:

Very true, but I can hardly bear to change the beds in every downloaded house anymore xD It’s such a drag.

Indeed. And I would also feel bad to use the “deleteZoi” cheat on the babies… it’s not their fault their parents are getting busy 24/7 x_x

Yes, I agree. I can’t bring myself to delete them once they’re born. As mentioned previously, I used the cheat on ongoing pregnancies about 3-4 times, but even that hurt my poor heart a lot xD

Now that I know what the cheat does, I’d feel bad as well. Which is kind of ridiculous, but yes, I still get attached xD

@HeinziDerHeld thanks for letting us know! Then it does not really help on the long run for rotational play. So we stick to the bed separation birth control for the moment and hope that the next update will finally bring us the possibility to control it directly. I also cannot delete the babies onc…

Finally… :star_struck: [Screenshot 2026-09-04 171230] I moved all the double beds back into my houses. And now keeping fingers crossed that this option holds what it promises :smiley: :crossed_fingers:

Oh nice, I didn’t notice this new option! Will turn it off immediately now. Thank you for letting us know :folded_hands: Hopefully this keeps our zois from having another baby boom anytime soon xD
