Philip and Bianca McMaster have been impatiently awaiting the arrival of their first child all winter and spring long. Now, finally, summer has come and along with it, Bianca’s due date.
Bianca goes into labor on a hot, spring afternoon and Philip dutifully takes her to the hospital. He doesn’t freak out too badly. He’s seen horses give birth, after all. It’s hard to come back from that experience.
Little Dylan McMaster is born healthy and happy several hours later. After the first few nights, Philip begins to realize why most parents are cranky… they don’t sleep. Ever.
Welcome to the world, Dylan!

I’m not doing realistic aging, but with seasons, I like the idea of sims having their babies in the semi-appropriate season. So you get these. I may also do weddings this way.
Awww, hi Dylan!
I want to start having births in the right “season”, because I really enjoy doing that in TS2, but I need to find a pregnancy mod that will let sims be pregnant for at least 63 days first. My seasons are 21 days long, so I’d need a super long pregnancy. The longest I’ve found is 36 days.
Hey Carla, you could try tuning that 36 day pregnancy mod to suit your own needs? This is a good tutorial for tuning mods – http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Tutorial:Sims_3_XML_Tuning_Modding
You may be able to find a more in-depth tutorial concerning altering pregnancy mods online, or you could always ask the owner of this blog for help, as she seems to have some experience with it: http://lhbabble.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-modify-aging-mod-and-updates-on.html
I like the concept of things happening in seasons, even if I’m not doing any kind of realistic aging. I love how seasons can show the passage of time now!
Thanks Rhubarb. I’ve looked into tuning a tiny bit and it’s something I’d be comfortable trying. I’ll have to have a look at the tutorial again later.
Aww, super sweet that they had a son. For some reason I always thought Phillip would do great with a daughter, so I hope they have more! Bianca is adorable, and I love that outfit on her with her baby bump.
I totally see them having more kids.
