Hey there(: I have been having this problem for a while now. It used to work just fine like when my sim turns into a young adult gets married and moves out and I don't chose them to be my active family, the story progression is supposed to go on as I marked on options, and I used too and they would have babies on their own. And my active family sims would become grandparents. Like I would be playing with my elder sims as my active family and their daughter and her husband moved out well I would be playing with my elders, and just randomly look at the family tree and their daughter and her husband would have children. Well it did that for a long time with all of y family's but now it won't for some reason. After my non active aims move out on their own they still age but never have kids married or not. I don't know why and it really disappoints me because I thought It was so cool! I have looked online for answers but couldn't find anything that mathed my situation so please help thanks(: (:
You can also try to fulfill all the wishes for your sims to earn points and buy the fertility trait. This will help your sims to have multiples. Also! If you're into using cheats hold down the shift, control and c keys so the cheat bar pops up. Next, type in "resetSim" while you're on the sim in your active household that's giving you trouble. You may need to type in the sim's name at the end of that cheat. That should help. Then hit the Esc key to exit the cheat box. [ bubblegumdrop's advice column | Ask bubblegumdrop A Question ]

if their lifetime wish is like have 5 kids, they will usually do that. (or at least try)
i usually like to rotate with my families & like go and have a baby, & name them, and then switch to another family. & if you play with them & like in the romantic option->get frisky or whatever, they have sex all the time.
also, sometimes families won't have kids if you have a lot of people in town. that has happened to me.
