Post and mod both in development
There are three ways Sim social services can take away a Sim’s children:
- via the game itself triggering neglect (when hunger is death-low)
- via Sims reporting each other
- via a random visit (can happen once per couple) [Not Made Yet]
— UPON GAME’S NEGLECT TRIGGER —
When the game triggers neglect rescue (hunger failure), instead of the child Sim being taken away somewhere unknown, the player gets to choose which family they go to. Relationship statuses are added, and the parents can later apply to get their child back.
— When sim is reported by another —
The agent goes to observe and talk to the children.
Then, he goes to check out the furniture and how well the house is equipped.
During this process, your Sim mostly follows the agent around.
Then, When the agent is done visiting, the following notification appears and the agent comes to talk with your sim.
Entirely based on what the agent observed during the visit, he will either:
- dismiss concerns
- give a warning
- Validate the report & Relocate the children for fostering into another household
— When sim Gets a Random Visit —
[Not Made Yet] This will be almost identical to when being reported – the difference being the text of the intro and conclusion notification.

— Recovering CHildren —
Before a Sim is able to apply to get their children back:
- at least three days must have passed
- the Sim must have attended a Parenting Workshop
- the Sim must have attended a Parent Counseling Session
Additionally, if the Sim is hoping for a positive outcome for the second visit, they need to have fixed the problems noted at the first visit.
- For example, if the problem was lack of money, the Sim must now have more money
- if the problem was bad relationships with the child, the relationship must have improved
- etc.
