Line 34:
In ''The Sims 2'', only adults and elder males can initiate ''Try for Baby'', although the [[InTeenimater]] mod can allow [[teen]]s to become pregnant. (While young adult males can father children with adult females, the "Try for Baby" interaction must be initiated by the adult female at her home.) If the Sim is [[WooHoo#Gender and Age compatibility|infertile]], the player can [[testingcheatsenabled]] and spawn the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] to impregnate a Sim. The number of babies born is determined at conception, but the gender is determined at birth.
Male young adults, adults, and elders can try for a baby, but only female young adults and adults can get pregnant. Young adults that are pregnant and about to become adults will not age up until the baby is born. Additionally, the chance of conception is lowered for older female Sims trying for a baby.{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} Since the release of the Gender Customization update for ''[[The Sims 4]]'', it is possible for a same-sex couple to have biological children without the use of mods or cheats. Sims can be set to be able to become pregnant or to make another Sim pregnant, regardless of gender.
Depending on what the player does or exposes the mother to during her pregnancy, it will affect both the gender and number of offspring the pregnancy will produce.
Line 74:
In ''The Sims 3'', a Sim who is at level 5 or higher in the [[Medicine#The Sims 3|Medicine]] career track can determine the gender of the baby.
Pregnant Sims hold certain characteristics to what they can do, and are restricted or unable to do. ▼

Line 90 ⟶ 92:
The first trimester lasts one day only. During this trimester the pregnant Sim will suffer from morning sickness, which usually leads them to throwing up in the [[toilet]], with a thought bubble showing a pacifier and a question mark. In ''The Sims 2'', Sims with high [[body]] skill may have a better chance of not throwing up, though they will still be visibly queasy, and their [[comfort]] meter may at times go into the red. Sims do not always throw up when pregnant, but they may wake up in the middle of the night to vomit.
In ''The Sims 2'', the Sim will not be visibly pregnant. In ''The Sims 3'', the bulge cannot be seen unless the player zooms in. Sims with the [[grumpy]] trait will be aggravated by morning sickness. During the first trimester, the pregnant Sim can't leap into other Sims' arms and other Sims can't leap into her/his arms. Before the Sim is visibly pregnant, it is possible to customize the maternity clothing.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
Pregnant Sims in ''The Sims 2'' may have random drops in the hunger motive, which may take newer players by surprise. Also if a Sim suffers from morning sickness, and there is no toilet on the lot, the Sim will throw up on the floor/ground instead.

▲** In ''The Sims 2'', the days off are counted as calendar days. The Sim is paid for a day whether or not he/she was scheduled to work that day, so it is effectively bonus pay. The message saying that the Sim has used a paid vacation day does not appear, even if the Sim was scheduled to work that day. Also, a pregnant Sim who drives or walks{{vgversion|TS2:AL}} to work will still receive this pay in addition to being paid for a day's work.
* In ''The Sims 2'', a visibly pregnant Sim can get a job, but the "new job" pop-up notice will say that the Sim should not start work until after the baby is born. The Sim will not receive paid maternity leave for this time, but will otherwise be treated as a Sim on maternity leave.<!-- I do not know if visibly pregnant Sims who change jobs will keep their paid maternity leave. -->
* Pregnant Sims experience nausea and backaches, shown as negative [[moodlet]]s.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
* Fulfilling a pregnant Sim's wishes improves the chances of a "happy" pregnancy, which will give the child better traits or even allow the player to select the traits. If a pregnant Sim and the father read pregnancy books the chances of a "happy" pregnancy improve, in addition to the improvement given by any wants the Sim may have to do so. {{Vgversion|TS3}}
* A Sim in the medical career (level 5 or above) can "Determine the Gender of Baby" of the pregnant Sim and can "Give Medical Advice". Clicking on the hospital allows the interaction "Get Medical Advice". They will enter the hospital and then come out after a while. This option is not available with Sims that are not pregnant.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
