Using cheats in The Sims 4 is a popular feature that makes the gameplay easier or can be used for in-depth storytelling. Almost all aspects of a Sim's life can be affected by cheats, including pregnancy. Pregnancy cheats in The Sims 4 can be used to decide the baby's gender, the number of babies, or even to become pregnant.
Of course, some things can be influenced by specific gameplay, but payers can take control over their Sim's pregnancies in whatever way they wish using cheats. These are some of the best pregnancy cheats in The Sims 4 and how to use them.
Best Pregnancy Cheats In The Sims 4
Whether players are setting up a story or completing a legacy challenge, they may need to use cheats to make things easier. To turn on cheats, hit CTRL + SHIFT + C on PC or L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 on consoles. This will open up the cheat input box at the top left side of the screen. Enter the words testingcheats true to activate cheats. Now, players are free to use any cheats they want to.
The below pregnancy cheats can only be used by PC players who have the All Cheats Fix mod by TwistedMexi installed.
Force Twins or Triplets
If players want their Sim to have a specific amount of babies, they can use the force offspring cheat. Follow the below steps to have twins or triplets:
- Have a Sim get pregnant by Trying for a Baby
- Open the cheat input box
- Look up their Sim ID by putting sims.get_sim_id_by_name followed by the Sim's full name
- Input pregnancy.force_offspring_count (Sim ID) (# of offspring)
There are ways to influence twins and triplets without cheats. The On Ley Line (City Living Expansion pack) and On A Dark Ley Line (Vampires) lot traits will also encourage twins and triplets if Sims becomes pregnant on lots with the traits. Other methods to increase fertility include a Fertility Massage (Spa Day), the Elixir of Fertility (Outdoor Retreat), or the Fertile Satisfaction Reward trait. The reward trait costs 3,000 Satisfaction Points, but players can use the traits.equip_trait trait_Fertile cheat to add it to the desired Sim immediately.
Choose Pregnancy Duration
Cheats can also affect which stage of pregnancy a Sim is in. Pregnancies last a total of three in-game days during standard Sims 4 gameplay. However, this can be changed using the following cheats:
- sims.add_buff buff_Pregnancy_InLabor - Sim will enter labor
- sims.add_buff buff_Pregnancy_Trimester1 - Sim will enter the first trimester
- sims.add_buff buff_Pregnancy_Trimester2 - Sim will enter the second trimester
- sims.add_buff buff_Pregnancy_Trimester3 - Sim will enter the third trimester
Influence Baby Gender
Finally, while this isn't an actual cheat, players can have their pregnant Sims perform certain tasks to influence the gender of their newborn. To increase the likelihood of a girl, have Sims eat Strawberries and listen to Pop music. For a boy, eat carrots and listen to Alternative music. Doing this throughout the pregnancy almost guarantees it will work and Sims will have the desired gender. Nevertheless, players who want complete control over their Sim's pregnancies can install certain mods to boost their family gameplay.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
