Question
QUESTION: Hey helen i play the sims 2(PC version) from time to time and i have had twins and single babies, but i have never had triplets.  So how do you have triplets on the sims 2?  and another question how can you adopt twins?  i dont have a hacker thing or an adapter so a regular cheat would be great. oh and one more question how can you get a teen girl pregnant?? sorry for all the questions, thanks so much for answering them?

ANSWER: There is no regular cheat to get triplets or teen pregnancy. You need to go to modthesims2.com and get inSIMinator or another similar program in order to force the game to give you triplets or a teen pregnancy.

As for adopting twins, there is nothing built into the game to do this. However, the easiest way is go into the create family menu. Make the sim you want, then "clone" it by using it a template for another sim. Add an adult. Move them into the household where you want them adopted. Kill the adult. Ta da! Instant family. ;) If you want them as babies, get a random female into your household (Tombstone of Life and Death is easy for this). Pull down the cheat menu on the sim and choose "force pregnancy". While she's pregnant, pull down the console and type "forcetwins" (this only works if you have Open for Business or later expansion packs though). After she gives birth to the babies, kill the adult or have her move out when they're toddlers- without the toddlers, of course.

Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.

Best wishes,
Helen =)

QUESTION: Thanks so much i got the teen pregnancy thing and the triplets mod.  and guess what my teenager had quads!  One last question though i heard you can get plant people and mermaids on the sims 2, how do you do that?

Answer
For mermaids, it's simply a matter of downloading the outfit. You can get that also at ModTheSims.com

For the plant people, that is only available with the Seasons expansion pack. You first need to get a sim with a gold gardening badge. Then you need to have this sim spray the plants- a LOT. I recommend getting several citrus trees outside. After spraying the trees between 20-30 times, your sim will turn into a plant sim. :)
