If the pregnant Sim has a job, they will be placed on maternity leave, and the carpool will not appear. In The Sims 2 , however, a pregnant Sim who has access to a car can drive to work.
In The Sims 2 , the Sim will be paid for these leave days even if they fall on one of their days off. Also, in The Sims 2 , calling a Sim who is on maternity leave during his or her work hours will still result in the " Sim is working" messages, and a Sim who "brings a friend" home from work may bring a pregnant Sim.
In The Sims 2 , a Sim at this point will no longer be able to do yoga or work out in front of a stereo, but will be able to work out in front of a television. The Sim may be able to use some types of exercise equipment, but will not be able to use all types. The combined effects of pregnancy and working out will be hard on the Sim's motives, but this does not appear to pose any other risk.
A pregnant Sim will be able to swim , but will be unable to use a diving board or pool slide. Pregnant Sims in the second and third trimesters can also expect to have cravings, in the form of more "Eat These are easy to fulfill, since they'll usually be a dish the Sim knows how to cook. In The Sims 4 , a Sim in the second trimester may get a morning sickness moodlet upon waking from sleep.
This will make them uncomfortable , and possibly even make them throw up. The third trimester lasts one day. The expectant Sim will get the attention of the player and the abdomen will enlarge again. They can no longer drive, use the swing , or use the electro-dance sphere from Nightlife. They will suffer from mood swings, in which the outcome of Social interactions between the pregnant Sim and another will change.
In The Sims 3 , they will get negative moodlets, such as the "Sore" moodlet, and may no longer run. In The Sims 4 , the third trimester can last one or more days, as birth can happen at any time rather than at a set time as in previous games.
While normally Sims give birth within 3 days of the start of the third trimester, it can be extended indefinitely by preventing the Sim from entering their lot or a hospital. On the last day of the pregnancy the Sim will attract the viewer once again and go into 'labor'. This is an autonomous action and all Sims on the lot or nearby will be drawn to the Sim to 'panic' This includes the Grim Reaper if he is on the lot. In The Sims 3 and in The Sims 4: Get to Work , the pregnant Sim can be taken to the hospital when clicked on while in labor, or they can stay at home, and have a safe and comfortable birth.
The advantages of giving birth at the hospital are that the baby's bassinet will be provided free of charge and all of the pregnant Sim's motives will be replenished. In The Sims 2 , a screen will come up with the message "There's a new family member on the way! If the special camera is enabled, a cinematic will commence showing the birth of the baby, otherwise the Sim will turn around on the spot and a new family member is born.
If the Sim has a job, they will get additional leave in the form of three vacation days , regardless of the number of vacation days they already have. These work like ordinary vacation days; if the Sim is scheduled to work, the carpool will come, and the Sim will get in unless the player cancels that action. These vacation days will not be lost if they are not used while the new family member is a baby. If another family member can stay home with the baby, the player may want to let the Sim go to work in order to save a leave day for later.
A Sim who gives birth to twins will change out of maternity wear after the first baby is born. In The Sims 3 a little pop-up will say: "The baby is coming! Make sure Sim is at home or in the hospital so she can have a safe and comfortable birth! If the father of the unborn child is on a different lot or at work when a Sim goes into labor, he will go to the hospital to be with the mother.
If the Sim stays at home, the Sim will turn on the spot, and the baby will be born there. In The Sims 4 labor lasts several hours. The Sim can continue to do things while in labor but will be continuously uncomfortable. If the player bought a bassinet previously, the Sim will go to the bassinet to give birth when the time comes. If they didn't or the Sim is blocked from accessing a bassinet, a bassinet will spawn spontaneously when the baby is born. After the birth of the baby or babies , the player will then be able to name them.
In The Sims 3 , depending on how happy the mother was during her pregnancy, the player might be able to choose both traits for the baby, just one, or none at all. Pregnant Sims will get a few days off work as maternity leave. In The Sims 2 , the days off are counted as calendar days; the Sim is paid regardless of whether they were scheduled to work that day, so it is effectively bonus pay.
In addition, any vacation days the Sim had accumulated will not be used up while on maternity leave. Sims can still choose to go to work by driving or walking [ TS2:AL ] to work, and will receive their usual paycheck in addition to the bonus pay. In The Sims 3 , the days off are counted as work days and not calendar days. This means that a female astronaut Sim who gets pregnant winds up getting weeks off 27 days off in maternity leave due to there only being one working day a week.
In The Sims 4 , fathers will also get days off as "Family Leave" if they live on the same lot as the mother. The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 allows for the birth of both twins and triplets.
The Sims 2 only allows for twins, though there are third-party hacks which can produce triplets and quadruplets. Some players have also had a glitch producing triplets in The Sims 2 and quadruplets in The Sims 4. Twins are conceived the same way as single babies, so they will look about as much like each other as normal siblings do—from nearly identical to widely different. With, for example, a light-skinned mother and dark-skinned father, the twins can have different skin colors. However, some pre-made twins, such as the Pleasant twins, are identical; and it's possible to simply make Sims that look identical in Create a Sim.
Every pregnancy has a low chance of producing natural twins. This is decided at the moment of conception, so, unlike gender and genetics, exiting and reloading the lot will not change the number of babies born. However, with the Open for Business expansion pack for The Sims 2 , EA did include a "forcetwins" cheat; using it when a pregnant Sim is selected will result in that Sim having twins. If a pregnant Sim eats cheesecake , also added in Open for Business , they will have twins, as if the "forcetwins" cheat had been used while they were selected.
This is different from what is stated in the Prima guide for Open for Business ; the guide states that eating cheesecake while pregnant increases the chance of twins, not that it ensures them. There was a myth that eating cheesecake prior to conception would increase the chance of having twins. Whether or not this is what EA originally intended, it is not true. Enabling testingcheatsenabled and shift-clicking a pregnant woman allows the player to force twins by clicking on DEBUG: force twins.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have triplets, quadruplets or more in The Sims 2. Players may download third-party hacks to obtain the option of having triplets or quadruplets. When having triplets or quadruplets, the game informs players that the Sim in question has given birth to two babies, despite the actual number. Players are still able to name each child, though, as the option pops up twice.
In The Sims 3 , a player can use the fertility treatment to get twin and triplets, but not quadruplets. Players may download third-party hacks to obtain the option of having quadruplets. In The Sims 4 , players can buy the "Fertile" trait from the satisfaction reward store to increase the chances of getting twins or triplets. In City Living , players may also use the "On Ley Line" lot trait to boost the chances of conceiving twins. There is no pregnancy in The Sims , but if a family is evicted while there is a baby in the house, the baby will be lost.
Miscarriage per se does not occur in The Sims 2 , but if a pregnant Sim dies, the baby will effectively be lost, as in the case of Olivia Monty 's unborn baby.
Family members will not get a memory of losing the baby, only the Sim who died. If the pregnant Sim is resurrected, their pregnancy will continue as normal. The only exception to this is Olivia Monty, who lacks a pregnancy token and merely has the appearance of being pregnant.
Except Amber gets real tired of the book and decides to stomp over to the trash can and empty it. In order to tend to Amber, I let a clean Russett run amok. Meanwhile, my Sim-husband comes home and makes dinner, before promptly passing out due to his grueling tech job. So my Sim does some flashcards with him.
Immediately, he throws a tantrum. My Sim goes to eat dinner, but neither of the kids are hungry. After dinner, she heads to the home office to work on her novel. The kids stumble in right after her, both clamoring because they want to socialize. My Sim is only able to do so much before Russett starts crying. Eventually, he just grabs a plate off the floor and eats it in bed.
The next morning, my Sim-husband wakes up, and I have him whip up some breakfast before sending him to work on his Programming skill. Amber manages to toddle over to the kitchen and grab some breakfast, which she eats on the floor. My Sim wakes up to get in some writing before she heads to work.
I wonder, as a Sim parent, what I could be doing differently. Should I take more vacation days to build relationships with my children? Should I pack up and move to the suburbs?! I just want my children to be happy, healthy, and successful, without having to make any major career or lifestyle sacrifices. Is that too much to ask? Lamenting my experiences in real life, my colleague Cass Marshall asks me if I tried the Wabbit Tablet.
Intrigued, I purchase one of these tablets the next time I load the game. Unlike the other toys my Sims own, which only teach one skill each, the tablet teaches them all. They are calm. Aside from giving birth to twins, it is also possible to create a twin sister or brother for your sim in CAS. The twin can look:. The Sims 4 Wiki Explore. Wiki Content. Recent blog posts Forum.
