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.
