Faerie Baby Mod (Replaces Science Baby)

Status 4/16/2024: Compatible with 1.106.124/1.106.148

I wanted to utilize the "Ask to Have Science Baby" function in a Medieval fantasy setting, so I made this mod. Instead of using a partner's genetic material to make a baby with the power of science, your sim will use a lock of their partner's hair to make a baby with the power of magic.

What does this mod do?
It overrides the game's "Science Baby" function and replaces it with a "Faerie Baby" alternative, so that your sim can obtain a baby from the Seelie Court. Everything works the same, but the display text is flavored to match a European fantasy setting. Have a look:

In Person (located under Deep Thoughts):

On a Computer (located under Household):

On the Phone:

As far as I know, this mod is basegame compatible. It will conflict with any other mods that modify or override the Science Baby strings. The text is currently in English and French; if anyone wants to translate it, let me know!
