Line 7:
'''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 ends with the pregnant female Sim 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]].
Pregnancy was introduced as a game feature in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and has appeared in each subsequent game. Prior to ''The Sims 2'', kissing or playing in bed{{Vgversion|TS:LL}} were the only interactions that could result in two Sims having a child - and the player could usually say yes or no to that. If the player said "yes", or was not given that option, a [[Baby#The Sims|baby]] would immediately appear, forgoing any pregnancy period.
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. In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', as of [[The Sims 4/Patch 34|patch 34]], a Sim's ability to get pregnant or get others pregnant can be set with the optional [[Create a Sim#Full View|Customize Gender]] menu in CAS, regardless of the Sim's gender.
