The Sims 4 has captured an enormous following mainly because of the way it replicates real life. Players get to control the lives of the virtual characters called Sims, and have complete control over their virtual lives including career, relationships, and more. Just like in real life, Sims have the option to have babies in The Sims 4.
While embracing parenthood is optional, Sims can choose to welcome a baby when they feel ready. Having a baby can be beneficial in the long run as every Sim is supposed to die, and this is the only way to pass their genetics to ensure that their legacy lives on. It's also possible that players may want to influence the gender of the child before they are born. This guide will walk players through the best practices to follow for having a baby girl in The Sims 4.
How To Have a Baby Girl
In The Sims 4, giving birth to baby Sims is a straightforward process. But what’s even more fascinating is the fact that players can influence the gender of the newborns. To give birth to a baby girl, follow these steps.
- Ensure that an adult or older male sim initiates the “Try for Baby” interaction to get the sim pregnant.
- For the highest probability of having a baby girl, eat strawberries as much as possible. Strawberries grow wild throughout the Willow Creek world, available in the base Sims 4 game. Alternatively, strawberries can also be grown outdoors on the player's residential lots.
- Avoid earing carrots, as they increase the likelihood of having a baby boy.
- Have the pregnant Sim listen to pop music on the radio.
Be aware that this method doesn’t guarantee the birth of a baby girl; it only increases the chances of having a girl.
Cheats For Having a Baby Girl in The Sims 4
While the above-mentioned method doesn’t guarantee the baby girl, cheats come to the rescue. Players determined to have a baby girl at all costs can take advantage of this cheat.
- Enable cheats in The Game.
- Type “sims.get_sim_id_by_name [Sim’s name]” in the window to get the Sim ID.
- Paste the Sim ID into “pregnancy.force_offspring_count [Sim’s ID]” the cheat box and press enter.
- After the sim has given birth, open CAS by typing “cas.fulleditmode” in the cheat box.
- Now, players can change the gender and appearance of any sim by holding the “Shift” key and left-clicking on it.
To unlock the “Try a Baby” option, ensure that Sim has at least 40% formal romantic relationships.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
