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. Additionally, the chance of conception is lowered for older female Sims trying for a baby.{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}}

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.

====Foreign Romance====
In ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'', If a pregnant Sim goes on vacation before starting to show or becomes pregnant while on vacation, the pregnancy will be suspended until after they return home. The Sim may, however, experience morning sickness when on the rental or hotel lot, especially on a longer vacation.

In ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', it is possible for a Sim to have WooHoo with someone from the place they are visiting on their holidays. If a male Sim were to WooHoo with a female Sim who lives in his holiday destination (i.e. China, France or Egypt), it is possible for the female Sim to get pregnant. But when the male Sim returns home, his offspring can be seen on the family tree as a child, even if the WooHoo occurred the previous day. This jump in age occurs due to the fact that pregnant females, babies, and toddlers are not present in foreign destinations. In addition, [[Story progression]] is at a ''catch-up rate'', meaning the offspring will not immediately show any age progressions through the family tree. Meanwhile, a female Sim who does the same will return home and give birth to the child, and the family tree will show who the father is; the baby will grow up in a normal pace.

The second trimester lasts one day. At some point in the day, the pregnant Sim will attract the player's attention and change appearance.

In ''The Sims 2'', the Sim will be paid for these leave days even if they fall on one of their days off. Also, in ''The Sims 2'', calling a Sim who is on maternity leave during his or her work hours will still result in the "<Sim> is working" messages, and a Sim who "brings a friend" home from work may bring a pregnant Sim.

In ''The Sims 2'', a Sim at this point will no longer be able to do [[Secret skills#Yoga|yoga]] or work out in front of a stereo, but will be able to work out in front of a television. The Sim may be able to use some types of exercise equipment, but will not be able to use all types. The combined effects of pregnancy and working out will be hard on the Sim's motives, but this does not appear to pose any other risk. A pregnant Sim will be able to [[Swimming pool|swim]], but will be unable to use a [[diving board]] or [[Water slide|pool slide]].

On the last day of the pregnancy the Sim will attract the viewer once again and go into 'labor'. This is an [[autonomous reactions|autonomous action]] and all Sims on the lot or nearby will be drawn to the Sim to 'panic'. In ''The Sims 3'' and in ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', the pregnant Sim can be taken to the hospital when clicked on while in labor, or they can stay at home, and have a safe and comfortable birth. The advantages of giving birth at the hospital are that the baby's bassinet will be provided free of charge and the all of pregnant Sim's motives will be replenished.

In ''The Sims 2'', a screen will come up with the message "There's a new family member on the way!" or "There's TWO new babies in the family!" (if the Sim is having twins) at which time the [[genetics]] and gender of the new baby (or babies) are determined. If the special camera is enabled, a [[cinematic]] will commence showing the birth of the baby, otherwise the Sim will turn around on the spot and a new family member is born. If the Sim has a job, they will get additional leave in the form of three [[Career#Paid vacation time|vacation days]], regardless of the number of vacation days they already have. These work like ordinary vacation days; if the Sim is scheduled to work, the carpool will come, and the Sim will get in unless the player cancels that action. These vacation days will not be lost if they are not used while the new family member is a baby. If another family member can stay home with the baby, the player may want to let the Sim go to work in order to save a leave day for later.

A Sim who gives birth to twins will change out of maternity wear after the first baby is born.


In ''The Sims 3'' a little pop-up will say: "The baby is coming! Make sure (Sim) is at home or in the hospital so she can have a safe and comfortable birth!" If the Sim goes to the hospital, the player won't be able to see anything, but can still hear the birth taking place. When the father of the unborn child is on a different lot or even at work when a Sim goes into labor, he will go to the hospital to be with the mother. If the Sim stays at home, the Sim will turn on the spot, and the new little family member will be born there.
