Pregnancy horror

Post by Mariel Bravef »

I'm so furious right now I want to scream. I went ALL the way through the pregnancy event, paid for everything, finished all the support and goal tasks... except last night, I set my pregnant sim doing the LAST goal task of the event. and then I had to go to bed. I was tired, and slept in. When I woke up, it was about 20 minutes past them time the event ended. The event was gone. Despite the fact my sim had been finished with the last goal for hours, I got nothing. No super sim, no reward pack. Is there anything I can do, guys? I have the feeling a support ticket won't get me much.

I think sending a support ticket may be your only option. Maybe you can tell them the truth you want them to know, like 'I never got the pack but I did finish the bonus pregnancy'? I mean, technically it's true, but you just weren't online to be there when it happened. And after spending so many simoleons/time, I feel it'd be completely justified ;)

I'm not so concerned about the pack, it's the bonus baby I'm really mad about losing. But the pack is kind of insult to injury.

Given the "compensation" I've heard they gave people whose pregnancy events were messed up by THEM due to a bug in the last update, I'll be lucky to get 0.5% of my "doctor" simoleons back from a ticket. If anything. Man, I wish there was a punching bag in my house. I could use it right now. ...I had plans for that kid...

When you put in a ticket you have to tell them exactly what you would like as compensation. You have to put it right where you post the problem you have. In the dropdown menu where it asks you how you would like them to fix it select other. I would definitely try a ticket. You've got nothing to lose. When I had a problem with a task not completing in this pregnancy event I filed a ticket and requested the 15 sp it would cost me to speed up the task to complete it. They gave me that and some LP's.

This is one reason why I'm picky about the time I start a pregnancy event. I always start afternoons or evenings.

Me, too. I find the afternoon start best because I can compensate somehow if I have fallen behind. The morning of the last day might be too tight to finish on time and I have often fallen asleep while waiting for a task to complete in the evening. For example, I finished the Farmhouse Quest except for the last task. When I woke up from my ‘nap’ I had missed the deadline by minutes. So I missed the farmhouse template. I can only say I went to bed very angry. :twisted:

I would have been mad too. They really should give the price as long as the tasks were completed within time. We can't always check on the game any time of the day.

It should be a requirement for the game designers to play the game on the side (without the loads of LP's, SP's and simoleons like you see in the early preview games they hand out to YouTubers).

Here's my Pregnancy Horror- the Doctor/Yoga Instructor visits are incrementally getting more expensive.
At rank 48, day 1 was 240,000$, day 2 was 270,000$, day 3 was 320,000$... There's no way i'm going to have enough money to pay for the next visits, let alone the one that is currently waiting at my front door. especially with a town full of Elders, Teens/PreTeens, and a few other pregnant women...

i made the foolish mistake of having undertaking pregnancy event soon after my latest round of Population Boom... I thought 600,000 was enough of a buffer... nope. Definitely going to let this town die out.

My Yoga and doctor visits were between 500,000 and 611,611 each time. It bankrupted my town and I barely have 100,000 left. It will take my sims over 2 months, if I keep them constantly working, hobbying, or planting every day, to get back over the 4,000,000 I'll need to add another baby. On the plus side, Grandma and Grandpa get to stick around and enjoy their grandbaby instead of going to another plane so they can be replaced. On the negative, this slaving for money is boring and not fun. I'm hoping that once these "special" events are past the cost will go down.
