Pregnancy: Difference between revisions

In ''The Sims 2''. it is possible to calculate the time in which the Sim will expand each day and eventually give birth. From the hour in which a Sim becomes pregnant, she will expand 25 Sim hours later each day until she gives birth. So a female who becomes pregnant at one o'clock on Tuesday, will expand at two on Wednesday, three on Thursday, and give birth at four on Friday. In ''The Sims 3'', a Sim who is at level 5 in the [[Medicine#The Sims 3|Medicine]] career track can determine the gender of the baby; vampires can also determine the gender of the baby.

The first trimester lasts one day. During this trimester the pregnant Sim will suffer from morning sickness, in which they may run to the toilet periodically to throw up, 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 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. [[File:Pregnancy Screenshot Day 1.jpg|A Sim on her first day of pregnancy|thumb|left]]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.
