I've been a bad Sim-Mommy!
For the first time since I started playing Sims 2 about two years ago, the social worker came and took all three of the children of one of my couples. I'm still kind of in shock about it. All the couple did was leave their children home alone for a couple of hours after school, something I have my sims do all the time. Usually I just get a warning! And to make it extra cruel, all three were set to age up into teenagers in just a few hours. I thought about just closing out without saving, but I had been playing for about three hours up to that point and hadn't saved once, so I wasn't looking forward to the idea of replaying their entire childhoods again.
On the fortunate side, I did have one of my nice elder couples who were about to experience Empty Nest Syndrome adopt all three of them, so it's not like they were lost forever. And they kept all their skill points and relationship points! Yay! Of course, adopting them set them back in age to the beginning of childhood, which is annoying, but I suppose I can just use a cheat to age them up to teenagers like they should be.
Man, I can't believe this happened. From now on, I'm making sure to have someone available to babysit when I know the parents won't be home by the time the kids arrive home from school!
