Line 16:
*Two Sims of opposite [[gender]]s must interact romantically either by kissing or "playing in bed"{{Vgversion|TS:LL}} and then hope for the random chance of a dialogue asking ''Should we have a baby?'', to which the player can answer "Yes" or "No". The "playing in bed" interaction can only work if a Sim has a [[Vibromatic Heart Bed]] or a downloaded bed that's based on it. In [[Get a Life]] mode for the [[The Sims (console)|console]] version of The Sims, the player will not be given the option to decline.
*A phone call is received (completely at random, though usually at the 4 pm hour on days that it does) from an [[adoption]] agency asking if the family would like to adopt. This can be declined.
Either way, a baby arrives immediately in a shower of flowers, at which point all other Sims gather to applaud the newborn. The shower of flowers will resolve into a green crib with white bedding. The baby will arrive near the Sims. It is suggested that the interaction that leads to the ''Should we have a baby?'' question be performed away from the lot's borders, as it is possible for the crib to appear on the sidewalk or in the street, in which case the player will be unable to move it in Buy or Build mode unless the [[Moveobjects|move_objects]] cheat is used.

==Player Tips==
*In ''The Sims'', try using this combination for a content baby whenever it cries: feed, feed
*In ''The Sims'', the Social Worker will come if the baby is allowed to cry for too long. Place a couch, recliner, or bed in the baby's room, and have one parent nap or sleep there. A crying baby will wake every Sim in the room, and this lets at least one of its parents get a good night's sleep.
*In ''The Sims'', when having a lazy parent sleep in a baby's room, use a couch or recliner, and have the parent nap. That way, they will not waste time complaining about having been woken up before they were fully rested.
*Since ''The Sims'' allows Sims to miss a day of work as long as they don't miss two in a row, the player can have parents take alternate days off. The parent who isn't going to work the next day should be the one to sleep in the baby's room.
*<span>Players who have the </span>''Superstar''<span> expansion pack can hire the services of a butler who will automatically attend to the baby whenever (s)he cries. The baby will go back to sleep after just one action by the butler (usually feeding) although it is possible that the baby may cry at shorter intervals (in such cases be assured the butler is on it). </span>
*In ''The Sims 2'', babies' needs can be viewed by using the "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" cheat. Once the cheat has been entered, shift click the baby, click Make Unselectable, shift-click the baby again, and click Make Selectable again.
*A baby bottle may used several times in ''The Sims 2'' if it is placed in a Sim's [[inventory]] between feedings. Once the bottle is put down, click on it. If the option to feed the baby appears, back out of the menu, then put the bottle into the Sim's inventory. The next time the baby needs to be fed, take the bottle out of the inventory, click on it, and select the "Feed bottle to" option.
