I haven't tested this yet, but thank you for making this mod! This is one of those mods that you don't think you needed until you see it, and I always thought that giving children a new name upon adoption in Sims 3 was quite silly, so them having a randomly generated name you can't choose makes it more realistic.

very cool, thank you very much! i don't like children, especially babies, so i always use the time machine, now my sims can use their time more sensibly than being stuck at the workbench

Always needed!

In the real world, while uncommon, teens are able to be adopted. Therefore, this mod seems to add realism to the game, so thanks for that.

Thank you so much for this! I've always wanted this mod :D

Thank you this mod and for making these values tunable. Just out of curiosity, when naming is enabled, does the player have visibility of the child's original name before or at the point they're prompted to choose one?

No. The game normally creates the adopted Sim after you give him/her a name, so he/she doesn't have a name initially. The same persists with this mod. But perhaps I should have assigned an initial name.

Thank you all for feedback!

This is brilliant! No more do I need to "steal" other families teens for my 'caretaker of wayward children' sim! <3

This is great -- thank you!

Absolutely shocked this wasn't already a thing! You're brilliant!!

It was so nice to adopt a teen in my latest game. For emotional reasons, I like the idea of adopting teens, but also for gameplay reasons, as I tend to micromanage most of my game- even though I'm trying to get away from that. So, throwing a random teenager into the mix was a lovely way for my single sim to become a parent and for me to allow some randomness into my game. Is there any way to add a third option when it comes to male/ female- so that you can choose 'random' and so you get whichever sex the game 'rolls' for you? If not, no worries. Thanks for such a nice mod.

Nice! I used to adopt a child and then age them up with NRass but thanks to you adopting a teen will be more natural.

Hi is this mod compatible with "Family secrets"

Omg, finally! So tired of having to adopt child-aged sims and then age them up immediately to fit with the story I have in my head for households who would adopt teenaged Sims. You're the best for this! 😄

It seems so.

Im really excited to utilize this mod. Sadly when i call adoption services nothing happens. I get the message confirming it went through but no one shows up

The mod only overrides the adoption dialog. So the social worker not arriving might be something else.

Does adoption work when you take this mod out?
Does teen adoption work when you take all other mods out?

Sorry, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem.
When I called to adopt a child, it was the toddler that showed up.
But there is no problem in leading teenagers.

Thank you for letting me know. It should be fixed now!

Thanks for the quick fix, this mod is really great
