Pregnancy: Difference between revisions

To get a Sim pregnant, the mother and father must "[[WooHoo#Try for baby|Try for Baby]]". When trying for a baby, there is a possibility that the Sim will not get pregnant, but if she does then the player will hear a lullaby song or jingle, signaling a successful conception. 

 

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.

 

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.
