There is no pregnancy in ''[[The Sims]]'', but there are custom [[skins]] which can give a Sim the ''appearance'' of being pregnant and Sims can "have" a [[baby]] by kissing{{Vgversion|TS}} or playing in bed{{Vgversion|TS:LL}}. However, ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'' were designed to be generation games, and do include pregnancy. This article describes all there is to know about a pregnancy in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The  Sims  3''.
 
==Conception==
Line 21:
{{vgversion2|TS3:WA}}
 
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 at their place of holiday (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 occuredoccurred 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]] as at a'' catch-up rate'', meaning the offspring will not immediately show any age progressions through the family tree.
 
==Duration==
Line 44:
===Third trimester{{Anchor|Third Trimester}}===
[[File:Hal.jpg|thumb|left]]
The third trimester lasts one day. The parent will get the attention of the player and the abdomen will enlarge again. They can no longer drive, take a taxi, use the [[Swings|swing]], or use the electro -dance sphere from ''[[Nightlife]]''. They will suffer from mood swings, in which the outcome of [[Social interaction]]s between the pregnant Sim and another will change. In ''The Sims 3'', they will get negative moodlets, such as the "sore" moodlet, and may no longer run.
The third trimester lasts one day. For ''The Sims 3 ''some think this begins once the pregnant sim starts to walk at a slant.

===Birth ===
Line 88 ⟶ 86:
*There have been multiple births cases if the female Sim was pregnant when she was dating or engaged, she had twins. However, this was in Riverview, where a pre-made Sim family has 2 twin daughters, so Riverview could have potential for having an increased chance of multiple births.
*A rumour that doing yoga or dancing to music while pregnant can increase likelihood of multiple births (twins/triplets). However, this is extremely unlikely.
 
==Other Theories==
*In [[TS3]] , the if the female sim listens to Kids Music on the boom box or radio, and/or watches Kidz Zone on TV, the chances may increase to have twins, or triplets.
*In [[TS3]] , to aim for boy babies, the female sim must eat three apples, and for female babies, three watermelons.
 
==Stopping a pregnancy==
Line 105 ⟶ 99:
 
====The InTeenimater====
With the [[InTeenimater]], a [[Custom content|mod]] for ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the player can make a miscarriage when a Sim is pregnant. She will have a miscarriage in her memories. The [[PlumbBob]]  will glow red, and the Sim will start grasping for her stomach. A thought bubble with a pacifier and a question mark will come up. The Sim will then be in her normal clothes, and start crying.
 
The player may also choose an option known as "End Pregnancy" which will stop the pregnancy completely, meaning that the Sim will lose the baby but will have no emotional distress or memories of losing the baby.
Line 123 ⟶ 117:
=== ''The Sims 3'' ===
 
In ''The Sims 3'', there are ways to increase the chance to have male or female babies. Eating 3 or more apples during the pregnancy will greatly increase the chances for the baby being a boy. However, 3 or more watermelons she will greatly increase the odds of having a girl.
 
Patch 1.3 of ''The Sims 3'' keeps the apples for boys, watermelons for girls system, however eating these in prepared foods will not affect the gender. For example, watermelon pancakes will not increase the chances for a girl.
