Babies in "The Sims 2" are put up for adoption if they are taken away from their families by the social worker. The social worker is a non-player character (NPC) that will come to the home and remove babies (as well as toddlers and children) if their needs are not being met. Certain actions trigger the social worker to show up and remove the baby, after which it becomes eligible for adoption by other Sim families.
Instructions
1. Leave the baby unattended by moving all of the teen, adult and elder Sims off of the lot. Ignore the game's warning message that you should not leave the child alone, and the social worker will show up and remove the baby from the home.
2. Do not feed the baby for at least two days until its hunger meter drops completely so that it's fully red. Ignore the "Feed that Sim fast!" message that pops up, and the social worker should arrive to remove the baby within 24 hours.
3. Fire or dismiss the nanny if you have hired her. Nannies have the ability to track the schedule of the adult Sims in the household, and will show up automatically whenever the adults leave the house to take care of the baby. In order for the social worker to appear, all adult Sims must be off the lot, including the nanny.
4. Allow the baby's social needs to go unfulfilled. Do not pick it up, cuddle it, play with it, change its diapers or bathe it. The social worker will appear once the baby's social needs drop low enough.
5. Cause older children to get "F" grades at school by not helping them to do their homework. (Do not click on the homework and choose "Do Homework" if the child brings homework home from school.) If a child's grades remain at "F" for too long, the social worker will remove that child along with any other children, toddlers and babies in the home.
6. Make the temperature around the baby drop so that it becomes too cold and its temperature gauge drops to the blue level. The easiest way to do this is to wait until the season turns to winter, then remove the roof from the family's house. This step is only possible if the "Seasons" expansion pack is installed along with the main "Sims 2" game.
7. Make the baby too hot by leaving it out in the sun for an extended period of time so that its temperature gauge rises to the red level. Again, this step is only possible if the "Seasons" expansion pack is installed.
