33Risky Woohoo & Try For Baby Chances
WooHoo Roulette: Will Your Sims Roll The Dice?
Players will need to be mindful while messing around with their partners. Trying for a baby won’t be a straightforward process anymore either, with everything from a Sim’s mood to their traits governing their current rate of fertility. A high rate of fertility isn’t necessarily a good thing either, since this can lead to unwanted pregnancies more often than not.
32Baby Maker Trait
For Sims With Extreme Baby Fever
While the game already has a trait for Sims who are family-oriented, this trait just doesn’t seem to focus enough on wanting more children or babies. After all, some are eternally in a constant baby fever mode and just can’t get enough of the parent lifestyle.
That’s where theBaby Maker Traitmod by Kialauna steps in and introducesa brand new custom traitcalled BabyMachine.

Players will no longer be able to just know from specific cues if their Sim is pregnant, such as certain idle animations like thought bubbles with baby items or appearing nauseous. This adds a lot of excitement and anticipation to gameplay, and it’s also realistic in the sense that pregnancy isn’t always easy or straightforward to detect.
30Instant Morning Sickness
Find Out Fast — When The Morning Sickness Hits
Not at all pregnancies are obvious. In real life, surprises take place all the time, and it can make for really great storytelling to have that same aspect of surprise in a game as well. In pastSimsgames, this was very much the case, as there was no option to take a pregnancy test.
TheInstant Morning Sicknesspregnancy mod by PolarBearSims ensures a Sim doesn’t get a moodlet before experiencing morning sickness, which essentially spoils players with the surprise of what’s happening. Whetherthey have food poisoning or they’re pregnant, only time or a pregnancy test will tell.
29No Pregnancy Spoilers
No Hints, No Spoilers, Just Surprises
Building on the idea of maintaining suspense during pregnancy gameplay, theNo Pregnancy Spoilersmod takes things a step further. Unlike the Instant Morning Sickness mod,which removes moodletsto keep the news under wraps, this mod eliminates the “Throw Up” interaction from toilets entirely.
By doing so, it prevents players from accidentally discovering their Sims are pregnant before they officially find out.

26Pregnancy Overhaul
A More Natural Look For Expecting Sims
Pregnancy definitely doesn’t look the same on everyone, and the way EA designed it seems a bit cartoonish at times. LittleMsSam’s pregnancy mod forThe Sims 4,Pregnancy Overhaul, introduces a much moretoned-down version of a pregnant Sim’s appearanceand its range of animations.
A pregnant Sim will no longer have a massive belly that might seem exaggerated. Moreover, a Sim will now walk normally regardless of being pregnant. Plus, while a Sim is still in their first or second trimester, they can participate in more physical activities, namely jogging, and yoga.

A More Realistic Post-Pregnancy Journey
If players still don’t think their pregnant Sims have realistic weight fluctuations, thePregnancy Weight Gainmod can solve their problems.

After delivery, Sims retain their pregnancy weight until they naturally lose it through exercise or lifestyle adjustments. This small yet impactful mod reflects the physical changes that accompany pregnancy, perfect for those who value realism and nuanced pregnancy playthroughs.
