The Broadleaf Babies Discuss the Literary Merits of Tinker's Spectacles
and Other Stories from the June 1994 Issue of Analog

One of the articles in the SimsHost Chronicle #130 explains how to get babies to socialize with each other. Here's a good spot to ask questions about how to do that and reveal any secrets you have found for getting the adorable li'l folks to recognize that their brothers and sisters are more than inanimate objects.

That link will start working as soon as I get today's Chronicle done.

Love it! Baby Talk!

I have a feeling that the folks at EA didn't expect us to use that feature very much because the babies' vocalizations are kinda weird. When you get six of them going, it sounds like a gaggle of geese.

How do you get them to socialize with each other like that? I didn't think it was possible.

Read the Chronicle!

I'm very sure they never imagined some maniac would a) make a family with 6 babies and b) get all 6 of them to socialize together!

I have a theory that you can get as many as eight babies in the circle if you keep dropping a toy in the middle and having another baby play with it.

I'll leave it to Somebody Else to test that theory!

Just a bit more information about socializing babies:

They have to learn to walk before they can get their own toys from the toy box. Their parents can take the toys out of the box at any time.

They have to learn to talk before they will socialize with each other.

That's really scary... it actually makes sense!

Someone must have slipped it into the game while the brass at EA were looking the other way.

The work of activist programmers.

now that is a REALLY scary concept.
