This has probably been asked/suggested before but is there a mod that will make the end pregnancy and the pregnancy announcements events fire untill none are left for that day? I use 1 cheat save file to basically impregnate as many as i can and it's a pain to end the pregnancies 1 by 1 through another mod i found on here which also seems to have the side effect of leaving the child motherless(as in the child doesn't have a mother in contacts) and that mod also doesn't work for the announcements. I don't care that i'd have to sit through 15 announcements each night i just want them to happen ...
I've tried to mess around with the files that manage labour but i'm probably missing something to make it work or it's impossible by just changing the text files.
To continue on this i've been trying to figure out where the scenes get triggered from figuring i might be able to fiddle with that file to get the behaviour i want but i'm having absolutely no luck finding it. Anyone more familiar with modding this game who can tell me how the birth and pregnancy discover scenes get triggered and from what file?

The main problem is that is it checks pregnancy status at midnight. But when you have a lot of backlog character that are pregnant this causes a problem. Fortunately I found a solution.

NPC_gives_birth_neutral_extra
NPC_gives_birth_exrtra
NPC_discovers_pregnancy_Extra

These added scene fire off if:
Days = Actor.countPregnancyDays()
If Days > 279

And fix a of problems.

Slowly getting the hang of the facegen thing. It's amazing how hard it is to find a pic that works. So many the face comes out in all different colors because of the lighting, etc. Or they are looking the wrong way, smiling with teeth, have their head too tilted, something in front of their face, etc. Or it just no matter how hard you try it doesn't accept how you did it. The lighting thing is almost impossible if the person isn't white. It seems set up for if you actually had a studio and a setup to take pics with a certain lighting, like for a professional photographer. Too bad there isn't (that I know of) a site that has pics set up for that sort of thing, even if not of celebs.
This is a general piece of advice for anyone using facegen; I brought it quite a while ago to use it for my Daz Studio work and I've never been happy with any of the results I achieved. So don't expect miracles because this entry level software isn't capable of delivering them.

For generic faces you can try which has a selection of computer generated photos. Most of them aren't astoundingly beautiful or anything like that but they work well with facegen. There's also which does the same kind of thing, making people using AI. They're both pretty good for when you just want "generic white guy #1" or something like that.

Unfortunately, the first one seems to be the same ones every time, far too many smiling showing teeth (unusable) and none of like 17-21 age. To make random any category requires paying. 2nd doesn't let you pick sex, age, ethnicity, etc at all. And a lot showing teeth there, too.

In generated photos you can change the emotion to neutral and it doesn't cost anything to change the categories.

Edit: Also as far as teeth go, it's more of a guideline than a rule, 90% of the time I think the teeth are too big and they aren't. You can't really tell until you've actually checked.

I thought showing teeth at all was a no go? Can change the categories but STILL the same pics in the same category.

It's not a no-go, more a try to avoid. It takes about two minutes to check pics out so it's worth it if you're not sure. I've had some pics that I thought would be terrible and worked fine and some I thought would work and were terrible.

Also, the ages are bad. YA is like 25 at youngest and next youngest is "child" Which is like 8 at most. No "teen." Or hell, even like 12-15 if someone wanted that. The "This person does not exist" is useless as you can't pick ANYTHING - not age, gender, etc. Wish there was one that only had women like 16-23. 16 is Age of Consent where I live. 18-23 would be fine, too. But YA should not be late 20s or 30s. Adult should be 20s and 30s, not 50s/60s. It's messed up.

Really would like to see some gameplay revamps and additions. There's little to work for and there's still a lot of jankness and emptiness in terms of actual Life Simming.

to get ages you have to change ALL of the templates in the game, the characters, male, female and the Daz characters cuz like in better preg the nurse looks like a bone rack, [and shes 79:eek: yrs old] the ppl are ugly as hell they ALL have to be changed, i can have up to 25 yrs of age as the oldest and 18 as youngest and thats what i get is 18 to 25 if i want older i just change the file to what ever age older than 25 the character generates from the Presets thats why they are called Presets i just took the presets and replaced the stats and the body with one that i created,created about 5 different male and female models and replaced the whole Preset in base ,just leave the names the same but change every thing else. and if ya havent cleaned lifeplay in owners app data or the 420 engine files All those files are the old files and they MUST be cleaned out so you run a clean game or it runs the saved scripts and not the new game scripts in the character set up there a box that has all the templates that the game uses to create a character, just click on them and you will see how scarry most of them are, the beauty expansion presets are the worst, the nurses are in the70 to 80 yr old end and look like bone rack hags, and most of the others would Scare the cum out of ya i guess the person who created the characters liked really ugly and old as dust women even the girls gone wild characters are not all tha cute, so until they are changed by your own self, or someone else does it and uploads it to here you will get mostly ugly males and females the Nubian and Germanic nose is the worst, causing the nose to be bigger than the face at most times, so unless you change them, to what you want them to look like ya will just have to put up with it or do a lot of copy and pastin to create yur own character templates as i did and it runs and generates what i like in Tran, female and male looks, Oh and if ya want to generate " high end " ppl just add the Stats list to the character you want , and save it to thePreset and it will generate the stats and better ones to the rest of the generated ppl that you meet in the game.....

I'm 99% sure it's from this but I had the following situation happen. I got the "You've got me pregnant" event happen during work, however my character is female.

Edit: I ran it through again and it's always picking the partner of the person I had sex with during my last instance of the gym_spot_cms scene (when you spot the couple in the gym).

No, I have been seeing this too. Been making changes to NPC_discovers_pregnancy_Extra & NPC_gives_birth_exrtra.
One so it doesn't happen to Female players.
Two that they are not Kif from Futurama. {AKA pregnant from touch/looking-at}
Three "You Are the Father"

Actually I was talking about the site where there were AI made images of people to use as morphs.

This is the third of the five updates making up the v4.0 Variety and Polish Overhaul and the first update focusing on Clothes in the overhaul.
- Improve the pre-import procedures for clothing assets to be imported into the game during Beta 3 & 4 (these of course won't apply to the old clothes, which will still be there in Beta 3 but will all be removed or replaced in Beta 4):
-- Improve rigging to make clothes follow the character's current animation as much as possible, i.e. skirt bend with legs etc
-- Improve morph transfer to reduce clipping (i.e. body poking through clothes) as much as possible within the constraints imposed by optimization needs (see below).
-- Much better optimization (i.e. poly count & texture resolution only as high as absolutely necessary) for the new clothing assets compared to previous. Because by the time overhaul is finished, the total number of clothes available will be a huge jump from previous, this is essential for the game's ability to load them without crashing and for keeping the game's download size acceptable. Unfortunately, there's no free lunch and the need to keep polycount low for each clothing asset somewhat counteracts the improved morph transfer above, meaning that clipping cannot be avoided 100% especially when a lot of morphs are used, but it'll be a lot less obvious than before.
- Basic high heel system to adjust leg pose and distance from ground when wearing some of new footwear with heels.
- New "Partial Undress" button (dress pulled down to expose boobs etc) during sex and also for testing in the Inventory menu, available for a small proportion of new clothing assets (highlighted as such in your Inventory). Make sure to wear these specific clothes if this is your kink.
- The first wave of new female clothes will be added in Beta 3 (I just go down the list of raw assets I collected together, so Beta 3 may overrepresent or underrepresent certain apparel types, don't worry, not gonna be a problem when the overhaul is finished).
- Please note: Beta 3 is only the halfway point of the overhaul and the first overhaul update to actually work on clothes. Because half of dev hours for Beta 3 went into improving the pre-import procedures and collecting all the raw assets, the majority of the new assets for the v4.0 overhaul (i.e. the rest of the female clothes and all male clothes) will actually be added in Beta 4. Also, all the logic to use these new clothes for NPCs (which piece should go with which to avoid clipping, what to wear for which location, etc) will come in v4.0 Stable so for now, NPCs either just ignore the new clothes or put them on randomly. Until all the logic is added, the new clothes are mostly just for the player character to try on.
Estimated Release Date: Saturday, 1 May
