How to make my sims orphan

[nohowdoit]

Hi, you know how when you want your sim to go to college and you call them to get scholoarships? and one of them is if your sim is an orphan?

Well, my child sim became an orphan after his mother died of old age, and then he just got taken by the social service... I was a little shocked and depressed because I liked that child sim.

So does anybody know how to make my sim an orphan? and if there's a way of getting my child sim back from the social service?

If that is the only child the social worker has taken, it will be the only one in the adoption pool; just call to adopt a child and that should be the one you get.

The orphan scholarship requires both parents to be dead. If that is true, the child should be able to get the scholarship when he/she becomes a teen, but if the father is still alive somewhere it won't work. At least that is the way I think it works. I've never actually tried to get that one myself.

If your teenage sim's parent are both deceased and they live with another family member, that qualifies them as an orphan.

Children/toddlers/babies need to live with a teenage or older family member. Your sim may be adopted by another sim family but I don't believe they qualify as orphans any longer as they have adoptive parents.
