How do gay characters in this game have kids?

[mattbenz99]

I am not trying to be offensive or anything but I am just curious about this as a game mechanic. If you can get married and have kids with anyone that is single how does boy/boy or girl/girl marriages work in terms of having kids?

Does the game not let them or is there some alternate way of having kids like adoption? I am really curious about this.

Adoption.

Ah, that makes sense.

Is it the same process? Do you need to buy flowers just like a straight couple or is there a different way to do it. This process as a gameplay mechanic is fascinating to me.

It's the same as far as the marriage process goes, keep shoving gifts in their face until they like you, give them a bouquet, some more gifts, the amulet, and you're set, I haven't actually tried it but I assume it's more or less the same for having kids, they'll just randomly ask you at some point if you want to have kids and then one appears a while later.

You don't actually have to buy flowers for the question to come up. My female/Leah pairing didn't need one. I mean, obviously for dating, but I mean after marriage.

Granted, that may just be weird luck.

That is interesting. I am almost guaranteed to buy this game when it goes on sale next (as a student I have to save every dollar I can) and when I get it I will test this.

I happen to really like how this game takes things from other games that are usually more complicated and simplifies them while making them still feel complete.

The game treats it exactly like straight couples with slightly different dialogue (e.g. Mayor Lewis says "husband and husband"/"wife and wife" when he's officiating the wedding, your partner asks you if you want to adopt kids instead of have kids, etc).

I married Sebastian as a boy and he (or others, for that matter) have never once acknowledged the fact that we're gay.

Also, the only thing you need to have or adopt kids is a spouse and the largest house. Every morning (assumning you don't have two kids) there's a 5% chance that your spouse will ask you if you want kids.
