Many eyes make short work. It came from Sims Medieval, but sometimes I think it's really appropriate we named the top rank, "Watcher". Has anyone determined the quantity of fruit required to influence gender? I've been doing 4 fruit per trimester and consistently getting the desired gender with human sims. As for me, not yet. I am definitely going to have to explore the XML as well as do some old-fashioned testing.
Eat 10 fruit, see gender, reload, eat However, I'm also using the music angle as well. Like working on the computer and listening to the appropriate music at the same time. She's only eating a max of 6 fruit or vegetable with each pregnancy. Playalot Global Moderator Watcher Posts: In my dynasty my pollinator makes his conquests listen to pop for as long as the newly pregnant sim will stay at the dynasty house.
So far I've been successfully getting female nooboos from these uncontrolled pregnant sims. The time spent listening to pop has varied from anywhere between 5 sim hours to all night during their overnight stay. I just use the 'listen to pop together' interaction and when the guest pregnant sim stops looking like they are listening, I turn the stereo off and then use the interaction again.
I don't know whether it's just been luck but it's been 5 out of 5 sims so far. Side issue: despite leaving strawberries around everywhere, I have yet to see an uncontrolled sim eat one.
Another note: Households in The Sims 4 are capped at eight members; so if there are already eight people living in your Sim's household, no-one can 'Try for Baby' until someone moves out or dies to make room for a new arrival. If your prospective parents live apart, only the Sim who can 'Become Pregnant' needs to worry about their existing household size, since babies are added to the birth parent's household once they're born even if you're playing with the non-birth parent as your active Sim.
In other words - your Sims are very likely to conceive successfully on their first try, and two attempts should all but guarantee it. However, if you're looking for guaranteed instant results, you can check out the twins and triplets sections below for some additional pointers.
Furthermore, with Romantic Garden Stuff installed, Young Adult or older Sims with space in their household can wish for a child. Extreme success will be met with a child being instantly added to the family; meanwhile, a moderate success will grant the 'Try For Baby' Flirty moodlet. Using the 'Try for Baby' interaction while this moodlet is active will guarantee a pregnancy.
In The Sims 4, as in real life, pregnancy is a roll of the dice: your Sims might end up having a boy or a girl, or even twins or triplets. If you like to treat The Sims 4 as a story-telling game, you might have already planned out your Sims' family tree for generations to come, or at least have some idea of where you want the family legacy to be headed. The number and gender s of the babies who are born to your family in-game can obviously have a huge impact on where these stories lead.
While there are no guaranteed ways to determine the gender and number of babies your pregnant Sim gives birth to, there are a few things you can do to increase the odds of getting what you hoped for. Gender, for example, can be influenced by eating certain foods and listening to particular genres of music.
However, the chance increases the more you eat the right food and listen to the right music, and combining both over the course of the pregnancy is more powerful than doing either in isolation. As with gender, there's no foolproof way to ensure a multiple birth; but there are a number of things you can do to increase its likelihood. Fertility boosts are most effective if they are used shortly before the 'Try for Baby' interaction.
The following factors can influence your odds of having twins or triplets in The Sims Though the above will help with multiple births in general, the 'Triple Play' achievement specifically requires you to have triplets born into one of your Sim families in order to unlock - so you might want some additional tips.
Using all the above-mentioned methods in combination will almost guarantee a multiple birth, but unfortunately there's no way to specifically increase the odds of getting triplets as opposed to twins.
If you want to focus on getting this achievement, choose a Sim family and begin by applying the 'Fertile' reward trait to both prospective parents. Then, depending on what expansions you have installed, you can make use of the 'On Ley-Line' lot trait, Elixir of Fertility, and Fertility Massage to further boost your chances of success.
It might take a few tries and a lot of twins to get this achievement, so be sure to age up and move out the older kids regularly to make room for your Sims' next attempt. Breeding your pets using the 'Encourage to Mate Applying the 'Breeding Ground' lot trait increases the odds of multiple pet births even further.
At the time of writing, the game considers cat or dog triplets to be good enough, and will unlock the achievement. Once the 'Try for Baby' interaction is complete, the possibly pregnant Sim can use the 'Take Pregnancy Test' interaction on any toilet to find out if it was successful.
If you decide not to do a pregnancy test, the 'Eating for Two' moodlet will appear of its own accord around 24 hours after the 'Try for Baby' interaction happened. Note: Using a pregnancy test effectively shortens the length of a Sim's pregnancy, since it allows them to skip the 24 hour period of uncertainty which precedes the first trimester. There are a few special animations that are used throughout a Sim's pregnancy, and they can be an early clue that 'Try for Baby' has worked.
The Sim will often appear nauseated while idling; sometimes this animation will be accompanied by a thought bubble containing toys, hinting at the possible reason for their discomfort. All stages of pregnancy feature subtle but important changes in the pregnant Sim's physical needs. Their Hunger need will deplete more rapidly than usual, and their Bladder and Energy needs also run down a lot quicker.
These changes begin immediately after conception, and are another useful early sign of pregnancy. Once the pregnancy is confirmed and the first trimester underway, the pregnant Sim will begin to gradually gain weight, eventually becoming very visibly and obviously pregnant. The 'Eating For Two' moodlet covers the first trimester of pregnancy. The 'Pregnant: 2nd Trimester' moodlet also lasts 24 hours.
Using the 'Throw Up' interaction, available on all toilets during the first and second trimesters, does not actually relieve this moodlet; so it's better just to wait it out. The 'Pregnant: 3rd Trimester' moodlet lasts a minimum of 24 hours. However, unlike the other pregnancy moodlets it isn't accompanied by a timer; instead, its duration shows as '???
This is because Sims do not go into labour at a set time; though in practice, it usually does occur around 24 hours into the third trimester. Once the Sim has the 'Pregnancy: In Labour' moodlet, there are about three in-game hours to go until the birth, unless you intervene to make it happen sooner. There are a couple of options available once a pregnant Sim has gone into labour. With one exception see Hospital Birth below , Sims will give birth only on their home lot.
Once the pregnant Sim is at home and in labour, there are two choices: wait the three in-game hours for the baby to arrive, or speed things up by selecting the 'Have Baby' option available both as a self-interaction and on any bassinets you may have already placed on the lot.
Note: You might like to decorate a nursery for the baby before your Sim gives birth; however, you don't strictly need to do this. Babies are tied to the bassinet objects until they age up into Toddlers, so they won't need any other furniture until then; and if you don't buy a bassinet beforehand, one will magically appear once the baby arrives.
