With this mod installed there's a small chance that an abandoned baby will be left by your sims door. It's a very rare event so if you want to experience it you can turn on testingcheats true and SHIFT CLICK on your sim to trigger it manually
The baby will appear near your front door, you can check on it and take care of it like a regular baby
You can talk to your SO and decide what to do with the baby. Sims might or might not want to keep the baby depending on they feel
Once you make a decision you can click on "Decide Baby Fate".
Giving the baby to the police will make it go away immediately, You need get to work for this part since you need to travel to the police station. Once there you can report abandoned baby and hand the baby over
You can stay and give a statement if you would like
A few days later you will get a call from the police to update you on the case. You can also manually trigger the call while waiting by shift clicking on your sim and go to drama generator
Calling the CPS allows you to give the baby to CPS, but you can sign up to foster the child until they find a proper placement for them
You can talk to the CPS worker once they arrive and you sign up to foster once you give the baby to them
They will give you a call within 2 days to let you know if they have found the parent or if you can foster the baby, you can talk to your spouse about the baby if your sim felt attached to them. Your spouse might or might not feel the same
You can manually trigger the CPS call back to foster the baby in the shift click menu
Your sim will go into a rabbit hole and will come back with a notification saying foster complete
sometimes in the next 24 sim days the CPS will call you back saying they have found a permanent placement and they will come get the baby. This can also be triggered in the shift click menu
You can say one final goodbye, This interaction is available as long as the foster child hasnt aged up to a teen
If you decided to just adopt the baby you can raise them like a normal child, when they age up to a toddler you can talk to them about their adoption. They will not fully grasp the meaning of it but they will grow up accepting their adoption
However if you decided to wait till they are a child or older they will have a harder time accepting it. This interaction features custom animations for both child and teen-adult Sims
If your adopted child has a hard time accepting it you can talk to them and try to help them process it, there is a chance they might come to accept it so keep talking to them with these interactions
Once a sim knows they are adopted they can try to search for their parents by posting online although the chances of them finding them is small
If you just want to find the parent immediate you can use the shift click menu on either the adoptive parent or the child
and the birth parent will show up at the door
The adopted child can give them a big hug, there's a custom animation for the teen-adult version of this interaction
The adopted child will be able to to their biological parent with some special interactions
If you have any issues please leave a comment or come to my discord: https://discord.gg/Sk5j2yBJwX This is a brand new mod So I do expect some issues might pop up. Please be patient with me while I figure everything out 🙏🙏
03-19-2026 V1.1 Update:
Made an attempt to fix the issue where nothing happens when triggering a call back. Please let me know if you still have problems after the update.
Fixed an issue that caused the baby carrier to go into the inventory when calling CPS
Fixed a string token
Made a script optimization
Fixed an issue that caused the adoption pop up to not show up when the power is off
Fixed an issue that caused all abandoned babies to be girls
Fixed an issue that caused all abandoned babies to be an occult
Still investigating. (if you have the issues below and would like to help me by sending me your save it would be much appreciated. It's much easier for me to fix an issue if I can reproduce the issue on my computer, and it's nearly impossible to fix it otherwise) :
why is the CPS worker not showing up for some players
why is mrotimer showing up in a dress as a CPS worker for some players
Is the baby not appearing when sims lives in a for rent apartment

Will there be a Polish translation of the Drama Generator - Abandoned Baby mod?
I love your mods; I would love that in the future you made one where babies and infants they could accompany the Sims to a restaurant and that they could eat sitting at the menu table. Thank you so much.
It’s not showing up in my game and I’ve downloaded the latest version and saved it 1 folder deep. I also have get to work does it require anything else or does it clash with any other mods like life’s drama mod?
No. Gonna guess you are not looking for the shift click menu correctly
After triggering the call back nothing happens, my sim just answers the phone and that's it.
Thanks for all your mods, they really make a difference when playing. Quick question; how do I make the drama generator appear?
Hi! I love your mods, but I have a problem: the baby keeps disappearing.
It’s probably in your sims inventory
Im just not able to get it to work in general. i have it downloaded and in my mods folder.
Hey ur child birth pandsama mod , better exception claims its 100% broken?
I need to see the report, it can say it’s 100% certain and 100% be wrong
I am having trouble to get the drama generator going how can I get it?
You just download it
Oh my goodness, what an incredible addition of realism... I have no words! Bravo for thinking of this, wow 💕
Hi! If the CPS worker comes to take the baby back is there a way to still file for adoption?
Hi, no there isn’t a way to adopt them back
Why is this mod not working
It is
Ive downloaded the mod put it in mods folder enables cheats but nothing is showing where have i gone wrong.
Could be the the mod is installed incorrectly or you are looking for the shift click menu incorrectly. Thats the only two reasons
i dont have the option to trigger the baby :(
Could be the the mod is installed incorrectly or you are looking for the shift click menu incorrectly. Thats the only two reasons
Hi! How can I tell my child about their adoption? I don’t seem to have the option to do it. He’s now a child.
Something might be missing on the child’s or thr parent,I can help you more on my discord
Hello, will this mod also be in Czech? Thank you
hi not sure, havent received any czech translations yet
hi! when the baby appears on my doorsteps and I click call cps, nobody shows up at all! the only thing I can do is take it to the police and adpot.
maybe try waiting 24 sim hours and call again? and look around your house after you call, i wonder if they arrived but just didnt come to the door
Will there be a Polish translation? Unfortunately, I don't speak English that well.
I am not sure, i have not received a polish translations.
hola una pregunta en este mod los sim de mis partidas pueden abandonar un bebe?
hola! not yet but in the next update you will be able to
Hi! My game crashed out when I clicked the "tell about the adoption" option.
Do a test with no other mods or cc
hey Panda. getting a better exceptions report pointing at this mod when shift clicking sim with testing cheats on to try to force the event. no menu pops up when shift clicking the sim, just the error. when mod is removed can shift click sim no issue.
Hi, possible reasons would be outdated gamer mod duplicate. Can’t be sure without seeing the BE
what would happen if you just took care of the baby and didnt choose any option?
They would just stay in the basket forever
Thank you so much for your wonderful mods; they make the game a thousand times better! I have a question: where do the babies that appear get their genetics? Are they random Sims NPCs, or is there a possibility they're from playable families? I'm interested in the former, but not the latter, haha.
That’s a good question, iirc their genetics gets updated to match the adoptive parents when they age up.
Hi! I am having an issue with CPS picking up the baby when they find a family member during a foster. the cps worker shows up, but doesn’t takes the baby.
Did you press the option to give them the baby?
Hey, I've translated your mod into German. Thanks a lot for your big effort on everything♥ https://www.patreon.com/posts/pandasama-drama-153657185
Hi I’ve installed this mod but is been giving me last exception error I think it said police thing invalid or something like that .
Yes I do have Go to Work
Hey! When interacting with any Sim related to the abandoned baby event, the memory system labels them as either aligned or unaligned and automatically flags them as a partner — even if their actual relationship should be something like a sibling, parent, or aunt/uncle. It looks like the mod isn’t distinguishing between romantic and family relationships in this context, so everyone ends up being categorized as a partner.
Hi what memory system are you talking about?
will your mods always be free? even if we support or anything
can't get the shift click to work
Can you look up some tutorials on how to open the shift click menu?
When my Sim arrives at the police station, there is absolutely no one for her to give a statement to.
There might be a mod conflict that’s preventing officers to show up.
amazing!!! I've been playing for a few hours and loving this mod. thank you :)
Downloaded this and unforunately it doesnt show in game for me? dont have any copies of the mod in the mods folder. Any reason why the ingame drama generator doesnt appear?
Not installed correctly and not using shift click correctly
Does anyone know if the version 1.1 thats available free work or is it the old before the marketplace update? Sadly i'm not a member so i can't see the latest post.
It works
Hi I just downloaded this and I turned on cheats but I don’t see the drama generator after I click and shift
Hi it’s either not installed correctly or you are not shift clicking correctly, that’s the only two possibilities
I have a quick question is thid mod compstible with lumpinous wohoo welness?
Yes
Im about to download this! Thanks PandaSama
does your sims house need a door for this mod to randomly trigger?
I think the baby will go into your inventory if you don’t have a door
Hello! I translated the mod into Brazilian Portuguese. Thank you for your excellent work! https://www.patreon.com/posts/152259622
Could adopting a baby get you into lots of trouble?
Hi, i tried playing with the mod, however when i click on giving it to CPS or the police it just ends up in the sims inventory and nothing happening
I agree with that. The same thing happened to me the baby stayed in the sims inventory.
Hi there, only thing I've noticed about this mod is anytime I adopt the baby, they turn out to be a werewolf each time?
hi thanks for letting me know i will take a look
Hi, when i tell the child that they are adopted the game freezes and closes out.
hi can u do a test with just the abandoned baby mod to see if its a mod conflict? its just a regular social interaction no reason why it would freeze the game
Hey! I’m having some issues with this mod. I did trigger the abandoned baby event once but when I want to do it again it doesn’t work for me. I can click on “trigger abandoned baby event” as much as I want but nothing appears.
This is happening to me too. Did you ever find out what the fix was?
hello, I did what you wrote but I don't see that option still available
hi can u remind me what I wrote and what option isnt showing again
Hello, I have created a Russian translation for this mod. You can find it here: https://boosty.to/errr0s/posts/3c22f206-2253-41d3-bd2b-856ee074310d (it`s free) Thank you for your work!
TYSM! I added it to my post
Bonjour, je ne sais pas si vous m avez répondu mais la version Français y en à t- il ?
hello i think some people have already said it but i don think this works with the city living apartments or the for rent apartments. i think its just apartments in general
Why’s that?
I'm having issues with the talking with spouse options not appearing but only for married sims it appears if they're engaged, partners, or just have a romance bar
I’m not sure I understand
I downloaded the mod, manually trigged the baby being left on my doorstep, called CPS and then the baby promptly disappeared before Geoffrey Landgraab (in his glorious new yellow ballgown) showed up and then it wants me to give the baby to CPS but the baby disappeared?
nevermind sorry, the baby goes straight in my personal inventory, I just realized.
Hi ! It's not a big deal but I wanted to let you know that if you trigger an event in a city living apartment the baby seems to go straight to your household inventory. just incase you get people saying they aren't getting the baby
Interesting, maybe there isn’t enough room for the baby to spawn next to the door
hi PandaSama! I am still having issues with the mod. So far I have not had any issues with anything accept for telling the child about being adopted. My sim will tell the child but then the game instantly crashes every time. Is this something I am doing wrong?
Hi! Your game crash as in it closes? Haven’t heard of that before, your game is not pirated right?
Hi I’ve downloaded this mod put in folder, repaired the game and it still hasn’t worked and I don’t know what to do ☺️
Hi which part is not working
The trigger phone call option dosnt work when cps takes the baby
Ok I’m taking a look at it

TYSM Roshy! Ive added it to my post
Hello! My Spanish translation of the Drama Generator - Abandoned Baby mod is now available on my Patreon. Best regards, Pandasama. https://www.patreon.com/posts/152322945?collection=281115
Hello! If I understand correctly, this mod is going to be modular and won't be limited to just the abandoned baby module?
That is correct!
I triggered this two times and everytimes it was a occult baby :D
I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but I kept the baby as a Foster. Now they're a toddler, there is no option to tell them they're adopted.
Dear Pandasama <3 First of all, thank you for all the work you put into your mods. I really appreciate everything you do! I’ve also been experiencing a few issues and I’m currently trying to figure out if any of my mods might be causing them. One thing I noticed is that the CPS worker keeps the same sweater vest, but his pants keep changing into things like a skirt, swim trunks, etc. Sometimes he even shows up wearing high heels. It’s always CC clothing. Earlier he was actually wearing a dress in my game, but that has changed now. At the moment, the bottom part of the outfit and the shoes are still an issue. Another thing I noticed is that whenever a baby is left at my door and I call the CPS worker or adopt the baby, it is always a girl. I tested this several times in a row — probably around 10 times — because I wanted to see if I could figure out what was causing it. It was a girl every single time. Is this something that only happens on my end? It would be nice if the baby could be either a girl or a boy. I also created a test family and things worked much better there. The only issue was with the adopted teenager — I couldn’t trigger the phone call from the parents. When I switched back to my main household, it still didn’t work. I can’t trigger the call at all, so it seems like the issue might be related to this specific household rather than your mod or any other mods.
Not sure if i missed something somewhere, but when i try to decide the baby's fate, and want to adopt it, the baby just goes into my inventory each time. Do I need to do the CPS or Police station first before that?
No, if you adopt the Baby, your sim go to the rabbithole and comes back with the baby.
When i try to talk to my adopted child about adoption my game crashes every time. any thoughts?
I play on Mac and it isn't showing up in my game at all 😩
Mod is not installed correctly maybe?
I tried the mod and the only option that does work in my game is to adopt the baby. When I went into the police station, I could tell them about the abandoned baby & give a statement, but after doing so it said that I needed to have the baby in my inventory to do so. The CPS worker never shows and the baby just ends up in my inventory when I call CPS. The option to trigger birth parent call works amazingly, is it always just 1 birth parent you can meet?
Well was the baby in your sims inventory at the police station?
A CPS worker didn’t show up for me the baby went to my inventory ☹️
U can try calling them again and take the baby out of your inventory
I used this mod this morning and I went to the police station, no interactions appeared. When I asked for CPS, the baby just goes back to inventory.
😶did u use the "decide baby fate" menu to get to the police station? if the baby goes into the inventory u can just put them back out and wait for the worker to arrive
Is the CPS worker always going to be Mortimer Goth in a dress? I don’t have a problem with Mortimer Goth or him being in a dress but it keeps being him and he keeps flirting with my sims wife and causing a break up before the visit is over 😅
😭😭😭IDK why its sending Mortimer in a dress for some people, Im gonna look into it
Can the babies bio parent be any existing Sim in the game? Like could Nancy landgraab leave a baby at the door lol
ya they can lol
I just added this into my game but i can't find any options for anything even the trigger option , there isnt anything i have no drama generator option?
hi maybe the script file is not installed correctly or you didnt turn on cheats and shift click?
Hi! I’ve made a Spanish translation of this amazing mod: https://www.patreon.com/posts/drama-generator-152121839
Thank you so much! Im sending you a DM please check your messages! : )
hi for some reason after i either call cps or take the baby to the police, when i try shift click to get an update nothing happens, no call from the cps or from the police
Maybe restart ur game and try again? Unless you have some kind of mods that’s blocking those phone calls
I decided to apply to adopt the baby but then the baby completely disappeared??
I need more details on what happened, starting from the moment you clicked the option to adopt the baby
Everything works great so far I just can’t seem to find the option to tell the toddler about being adopted
I can you on my discord, need to see some logs
Hi, love your mod! I have a few issues with this mod. I triggered the abandoned baby event, and when I called CPS, nothing happened. I had to restart the game a few times to get a notification that CPS is on the way. I fostered a baby since the parents were not in a good place, and then the baby was taken away due to the parents working hard to get them back. Cool with that, but now this baby is still in my family tree. Any way to remove this child since she's gone? Thanks 💕
Hi how how were you able to foster the baby if you couldn’t get a cps worker to show up?
Can there be a way to disable/enable occult babies? I got a werewolf one
hi, you can only remove their occult with mccc right now
If the sim decides to adopt without calling CPS, will parent of abandoned child still come visit and/or will the CPS call back?
there's a small chance the birth parent might call you when the child is a little more grown but the chances of that happening naturally is very low
I can't get the mod to work for me. I have tried turing the cc and mods off and leave the script mods on. I have tried the other way, I have tried redownloading it, I have tried the testing cheats, I have tried shift. Nothing is working. :(
what does not working mean exactly?
I don't seem to get a sub-menu to discuss with SO about the baby?
emm are they in a relationship? whats their relationship status
hi! when I trigger the event and click cps, the option for give baby to cps is not an option so because of that the sign up for foster is greyed out. I have tried twice. when I click cps the baby disappears so maybe that is why? thank you!
Sounds like it’s because the baby was in your sims inventory, you have to take them out before you can give them away
So excited to try this out. I love your Childbirth mod, especially with the recent midwife career update.
Hi!! just downloaded this and none of the options work, when i press adopt.. the baby gets put in my inventory, when i press police option the baby gets put in inventory and the same for cps. i have the get to work pack so im unsure whats happening :'( alsooo when i do press the options cps doesnt come and ive looked around for them and when i press police option nothing happens
Do oh know if there’s anything to that could be preventing your sim from using their phone? Did you pay the power bill?
Hi! I put in the testingcheats true but no option pops up to trigger the abandoned baby event. I am not sure if I am doing anything incorrectly.
U need to Shift click your sim
Nothing happens when I trigger abandoned baby event and I made sure to do testingcheats true.
That’s a weird one, I’ll have to help you further on my discord
Alguna posibilidad de este mod en español¿?
It just puts the baby in my sims inventory
What?
ive just added this into my game but i cannot find any options for anything even the trigger option , there isnt anything i have no drama generator option?
pull up cheat console type testing cheats true enter shift left click your sim and it should work
For the first time i bought membership because im liked it SM!
so excited for this...thanks so much!
Is there a way to foster and then turn it into adoption? Like if CPS can't find anyone.
I was gonna do that but rant out time, lemme add it in an update
I have clicked to trigger CPS to come back but it just won’t work?
Hi won’t work how exactly?
My game did not load until I took out this mod is it broken by any chance?
It shouldn’t be
I don’t have any issues to report. Since sims choose to adopt on the spot on their own is there a reaction from the spouse/partner when they come home and find a baby? Or some sort of discussion had between new parents?
The baby was in my inventory, so i was able to hand the baby over to cps. Thankyou
when i reportt to CPS the CPS doesnt come
Maybe try calling them again and checking around your house? Sometimes they stand outside and don’t come in automatically
Thank you so much Pandasama for this wonderful mod so far I cant wait for you show us what All comes Within these Modules different Types of Event We appreciate your time hard work and dedication Keep up the Wonderful Work
When I clicked call cps, the baby immediately disappeared. The cps worker showed up but I was unable to choose "apply to foster" and told me that I needed to hand the baby over to the cps worker before I could be considered for fostering.
me too
your mods take realism to the next level. i LOVE it. literally can't play without them.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I finally got your subscription just for this mod!
Same! I needed this in my game IMMEDIATELY
amazing, thank you! Is Italian also available?
Hi I don’t have any translations yet! Hopefully I will start receiving them soon!
I am so excited to play with this mod!! Thank you for your incredible work!!
MERCI BEAUCOUP !!! ce mod est super savez-vous ou trouver la traduction en français svp
i am soooo excited for this!! thank you for your hard work <3
This is excellent! Will it work if I haven't done the last 2 updates though? ( the 3 Feb one and the mini update last week).
Hi! Yes it will
hiii, love all the effort you put into your mods! im wondering if there will b a chance that the child will react negatively if the bio parent reaches out?
I haven’t thought about that. Are you thinking the child might be mad at their biological parent? I wonder what the meeting would look like if their biological parent go to meet them
This is amazing thank you
The second I got an email about this mod, I went "Save and Quit" so fast, and I ALWAYS click "Save" then "Exit Game". Anyhow, I cannot wait to use this mod and thank you so much for your dedication and hard work towards your creations for us simmers!
