My couple goes to the bed to make the baby. They go through all the motions as they always did before the update, and then walk away with no baby at all. Just like before and in VF1 if they try but no baby comes. Usually they try right away, I never really have much of a problem with them not agreeing for a baby. The other kids I adopted and pets are not in the room with the couple. Yes the download and update went smoothly. I had no problems with the update at all.

I have the same problem with mine. They just argue and refuse to agree to try for another baby. This I'd the 2nd gen it's happened to.

Also on my 9th gen and STILL not had twins/triplets. Very frustrating! Tried baby boost twice but no difference either... Please help!

My couple are only 37&38 and they have one bio kid and the other they adopted when he showed up on their doorstep. The kids are 12 and 13. Every time I try to get the parents to have another, they argue or nothing comes of their trying. I can't do the doctor consul and booster shot thing because they don't make enough. He only makes 90 something and she makes 70 something. I will keep trying though lol. Mine are still on first generation. I only started this game a few days ago lol.

It takes some patience, but if you keep dropping the couple together repeatedly they will eventually quit arguing, 'kiss' and start trying for a baby. Of course, if one or both would benefit from a Baby Booster shot then nothing would happen, but at least you've tried.

When you accumulate enough coins don't be tempted to give a peep a Baby Booster shot without first getting a doctor's opinion; they might not in fact need one and you'd be wasting your money.

At least you've got two kids who will be able to carry on into the next generation!

I was finally able to do a doctor consult and the wife did need a booster. When I got enough coins, I bought one and gave it to her, but it never helped. She still never had any more kids. However, I am now on the second generation. I chose the son to carry on the generation because he said would be nice on having kids and the daughter said not really. Duke is now married to a woman who also said would be nice to have kids. They have a three year old son and a baby daughter. I am hoping next time she will have twins lol.

Update: She did have twins the next time. Two boys and on the family page, it says both like surprises. Speaking of likes and dislikes, the first born son dislikes meat, so I guess he is a vegetarian lol (which is kind of ironic since I am - well, I do eat some fish). The daughter dislikes jumping, which is kind of amusing since she is always jumping on the bed lol.

Just out of curiosity, does this game ever produce opposite gender twins/triplets or are they always the same gender? And of same gender multiples, are they always physically identical?

SupernaturalJem,

Yes, all twins and triplets are identical. They are more like clones. That means they are always the same sex and look and dress exactly the same. You can, of course, buy different outfits in the store so you can tell them apart, though.

Thanks, Arnie. I can't believe I never thought of putting another outfit on one of the twin boys. I am going to do that right now. What's funny is the oldest daughter has an outfit identical to the mom and I haven't put new ones on them lol.

Well, there is one difference in the twin boys now that they are 18. One says no way on kids and the other says would be nice. I guess there is no way twin #1 is going to carry on the next generation. I have five others to choose from when the time comes.

Weird, now both twins said no way to wanting kids. A couple of the others changed on that too. But I think there is an age glitch with the second gen kids. This is the order they were born in: Gregetto, Akesse, twins Kudos and Gerpino, Kudos #2 and Brella. After the mom died (she was older than the dad), I wanted to go ahead and start the third gen (I had over three thousand coins so I had a good start money wise). When I looked at the kids to see which one I wanted in the third gen, their ages did not mesh with the order they were born in. The oldest boy was 25, the first girl was older than him and she was born after, but was 27. The twins were not even the same ages, they were 25 & 27. The youngest son was 23 and the baby of the family was 27 lol. I ended up going with the youngest son because he wanted kids and salary was 60. The oldest girl had 90 as a salary, but did not want kids. So the guy I chose is now married with a son named Colonel.

Oh, the first born son who liked gardening, his job became salad packager haha.

You can look here for an explanation for what you saw when you started the new generation.

We designed both the original Virtual Families game and VF2 to work that way to make sure that all of the children were appropriate ages to start a family. Otherwise a new generation could be started when there were still young children in the house or the game had been unattended long enough for all of the children to be in their 40s or beyond.
