Pregnancy: Difference between revisions

'''Pregnancy''' is a game mechanic and multiple-day event that begins after a successful '[[Woohoo#Try for baby|Try for Baby]]' interaction between two [[Sim]]s of opposite sex and homosexual couples in Sims 4, and ends with the pregnant female Sim/any sims with the ability to become pregnant giving birth to one or more [[Baby|newborn]] children.<ref>[[The Sims 4/Patch 34|Patch 34]] for ''The Sims 4'' adds a customization option in [[Create a Sim#The Sims 4|CAS]] which allows players to give Sims of either gender the ability to get pregnant, or to impregnate other Sims.</ref> Pregnancy primarily affects [[adult]] {{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} and [[young adult]] {{Vgversion|TS3}} {{Vgversion|TS4}} female Sims. Pregnancy brings many physical and lifestyle changes to the pregnant Sim, including increasing body size, faster-decreasing [[motive]]s, and forced vacation/maternity leave from [[work]].

Under normal circumstances, only female Sims can become pregnant. However, in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'', male Sims can be impregnated as well, either through [[alien abduction]] or by the use of [[cheats]]. In ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', male Sims can experience a sort of pseudo-pregnancy as the result of alien abduction.
