It's official, part of the requirement to do the first new quest is to add a baby.

*Edit* This requirement is only for people who don't have a baby already!

Thank you for this. Good to know I'll have to get my sim limit down before I update. I've never held off on updating before. I'm far too impatient! I don't think I'll actually mind this time. I am looking forward to more interactive babies but I'd like to squeeze a few more LP out of my extra sims before I let them go.

It looks like you may only have to get rid of sims if you are over the limit and don't have a baby. Someone said on Facebook that the game allowed them to use the baby they already had!

Well, darn. I guess I'll go ahead and delete Ruby, and start a new baby percolating. The update is apparently not available for Kindle yet.

No. Silly me saved just after starting the new baby. Well, it's not too bad. At least I have some platinum orbs saved up.

So sorry you deleted your baby. :( Did they have a lot of connections you have to rebuild now?
