Pregnancy

Post by Abby »

Uhmmm... can we just talk about how hard pregnancy is in this game? I mean, i like it! But its so much more difficult - or is it just me? The sims needs are all over the place! Ive had my first pregnancy in my legacy and it was rouuuugh! Loving how pregnancy works in this game though!!

And did everyone elses sims go to work all the way through their pregnancy?

It is very rough, especially during the last trimester. Needs tank almost immediately. I told my sister they took longer to fill up then they did to drop.

My first legacy pregnancy was so difficult, I honestly thought she was going to die! And then I didn't realise you could click on them to have them have the baby so she spent an entire day in labour (going to work and everything!).

The second one went a bit easier since I knew what I was doing, but it was still really rough.

LOL i did exactly the same, it took a good 12 hours before i realized i had to click on her to give birth! I thought it was this all new realistic aspect of labour that it lasted a while hahaha

Sometimes they will deliver on their own. It seems to depend on if they go to work while in labor. If they don't go to work, they have the baby themselves. If they do go to work, have to click on have baby. I think this might be a glitch, but haven't gone looking to check.

I read somewhere that a male sim can get a female not in the household pregnant, and you get a notification or phone call when the baby is born with the name and it shows up in the relationship panel. Haven't tried this yet though.

Yeah, pregnancy in this game is ridiculously tough. It felt like my sim was on the verge of dying nearly the entire time. :faint:

I rushed right into her having another baby, because I thought she was only 8 days from elder. Turns out she is 8 days from adult. :duh:

lol, at least unless you have multiples, the one will become a child before the next is born, even when they are stacked closely. Getting my girl pregnant as soon as she delivered and the oldest would become a child a few hours before the next birth. I know I was always worried she would die during pregnancy. I might need to test that, take a pregnant sim and see how far they can go before they do actually die. :hmm:

:faint: I did not know you could click on them to make them have the baby when they were in labour! :duh: That is good to know for the future though. XD My sims pregnancies haven't been so bad, their bladder tanks the hardest so a few failures to reach the bathroom in time happened. :cover:

I've read on tumblr about working out the gender (but not deciding it - in spoiler in case you don't want to know :P )
Spoiler:
If your sim gets morning sickness, then it's a girl. If they have no morning sickness, then it's a boy.
This has been the case in my game, but that could just be a coincidence :)

I played a different family, and my sim got no morning sickness but had a girl, so perhaps it was just a coincidence :P Thought I'd mention it.
