Becoming Pregnant

    Woo-Hoo (A Sim's favourite part of this process). To get your sim preggers, your relationship with the father must be at least a romantic interest. You must use romantic socials until it says, "Sim A think Sim B is extremely irresistible". Once you've gotten to this point, you're ready. Make sure there's a double bed somewhere in the lot they're on, and click "Try for Baby" with the father. After the Woo-Hoo is done, listen closely-- if you hear a little musical lullaby after the Woo-hoo, congratulations your sim's pregnant! If not, keep trying.

    Increase the chances of a certain gender. Go to the grocery store at some point during the pregnancy. Buy three fruits, watermelons for girls, and apples for boys. Any more than three won't increase your chances any further.

    Eat the three fruits. Any time before labor and after conception is okay. NOTE: The fruits will not always result in that gender of baby, but they will significantly increase your chances. Also, baking the fruits into food to eat doesn't increase or decrease your chances.

    Find a sim that is higher than level 4 or 5 in the medical career. Either move them into the house or add them to the active family. Then choose to play as that sim.

    In friendly interactions, choose Determine Gender of Baby. The sim will show a speech bubble and a picture of a baby and a female or male sign. Then in the top right corner, it will say whether your sim is having a girl or a boy.

  • Question
    Can you eat fruit and change the baby's gender?

    Yes. 3 watermelons and its likely to come out a girl, three apples and its likely to come out a boy. If you want more than 1 baby, listen to children's music on loud, have another Sim give your Sim massages, and let her read kids' books and watch kids' TV shows. It's also good to read pregnancy books, which you can buy at the bookstore located on the map.
  • Question
    What music does a girl have to listen to to have a baby girl?

    You do need music to have a girl. You should buy at least 3 watermelons and eat them (but don’t overstuff your Sim).
