How old do babyz grow to be?
Back to the top

Babyz grow to be 15 months old, that is one year and 3 months, they start at 9 months so they grow 6 months older than they were to begin with.


Do babyz grow hair?
Back to the top

Okay since I have found so many conflicting reports about this I am not going to put an answer here.  None of my babyz have grown hair in the 2 months I have had them, but others claim their babyz have.  Personally I don't believe babyz grow hair, but it is up to you to decide.

Where did you get midis for the record player from?
Back to the top

I got my midis from a website (can't remember which one right now) all you have to do to find some is go to a search engine and type in midis and enter, thousands of sites will pop up.  hope that helps.


How do I get two high chairs in the kitchen scene?
Back to the top

Okay, the second high chair should automatically appear when you adopt your second baby, if it doesn't restart babyz and it should show up, if it still doesn't and you are in 1024x768 screen mode then press ctrl and shift while starting babyz, it will ask you if you want to reset the registry click yes and then all the toys should show up.  However, be aware if you do that any toys you moved will be reset and you will have to re-toy al your rooms :).   If none of this works, then try re-installing babyz and if that doesn't work e-mail mindscape.


How do you get pictures of your babyz without diapers on?
Back to the top

Okay to do this you take a picture of your baby on the changing table, without the background on and with no diaper on.  There is a second way of doing this check the tips and trick page to see how :).


How can you tell if the baby is a girl or a boy?
Back to the top

Okay there are three ways to tell what gender your baby is.  One if they have hair, it is obvious.  If they do not have hair then look at their eye lashes if they have eye lashes then they are a girl, if they don't they are a boy.  Also some girls have rosy cheeks, boys do not.  Hope that helps.


Can you e-mail me a screenshot of every room, please?
Back to the top

www.babyz.net
has screen shots of 5 of the 7 room on their site.  I can not e-mail you the other two, since they would be rather large and my e-mal server doesn't allow me to send extremely large files.  However I have posted screen shots just click here to see them (warning these are very big pictures and will take awhile to load).

Where is the caterpillar tunnel?  My program didn't come with it.
Back to the top

Unfortunately, mindscape did not have time to finish the Caterpillar Tunnel.  Also there is no pile of leaves (and the Production Ninja who gave me this info says he has no idea where idea of the pile of leaves came from).


How do you end up with twins?
Back to the top

Okay this one is easy there are two ways you can do this.  First if you want identical twins, adopt the same baby twice.  If you want fraternal twins all you have to do is adopt two babyz and call them twin, see very easy :).  There is another ay to do this too.  Go to your adopted babyz folder and make a copy of the file (so if I wanted to make Gwen a twin i would go to the adopted babyz folder click on the gwen.baby file go to edit click copy and then click paste in a different folder), Paste it in a different folder and then rename it to your new babyz name, then put it in the adopted babyz file and you have twins :).  Also some boxes come with twins on the front, so you can end up with twins without copying them or just  saying two babyz are twins.




where can I get a red haired baby?
Back to the top

Well I have to say I lucked out on this one in that the baby on my box had red hair and one of the boys in my 15 additional adoptions also had red hair.  If you did not end up with any babyz with red hair you are going to either have to find a friend who has one and get it from them, or look at one of the adoption center either babyz.net's or one of the other babyz sites and hope they have a red  head up for adoption.  However if I find  redhead up for adoption somewhere I will announce it on the front page, for all you red head lovers


how do I change a babyz name?
Back to the top

to change a babyz name you go to the babyz menu and chose the "rename babyz" then you click on the baby whose name you want to change and you change the name :).


How do you send a baby to grandma's house, and can you get it back once you do?
Back to the top

to send a baby to grandma's house you go to the Babyz menu and click on the "send babyz to grandma's house" you then chose which baby to send.  To get a baby back from from grandma's house you go to the babyz menu and chose the "get babyz from grandma's house" then you chose the baby you want and it comes back to the house.



How many babyz can you have all together?
Back to the top

You can have as many babyz as you can take care of.  So if you want 1 you can have 1, or if you want 10 you can have 10, you just can't have more than 3 active at a time.


how many can you bring out? 
Back to the top

You can have a maximum of three babyz out at any one time.



Where is the white teddy bear it did not seem to come with my program?
Back to the top

This question has been moved to the technical FAQ page.




Why can i only see half of a room/ the crib etc.?
Back to the top

You cannot see the whole room unless your screen is in 1024x768 mode check the tech FAQ to learn how to change your screen mode.


Can you put a shirt under the coveralls?
Back to the top

I have been confirmed you cannot do this, mindscape could not get it to work properly, made in future versions.


Why do i only have one highchair?
Back to the top

There are two reasons for this, first if you only have one baby active (ie not at grandma's house) you will only have one high chair, second, If your screen is too small you will only see one high chair, visit the tech FAQ to learn how to enlarge the screen.


Can babyz die/runaway?
Back to the top

No they can not die or run away, all that they can do is get sick, so if you ignore your baby they will get  sick, Just a note even if you don't ihgnre your babyz they will get sick, so just because your baby is sick it doesn't mean you are a bad parent.
