Sims in the popular video game franchise The Sims become pregnant through a specific gameplay mechanic.
The Process of Pregnancy in The Sims
To initiate a pregnancy, two Sims must have a romantic relationship and engage in a specific interaction called "WooHoo" (which represents sexual intercourse).
- Relationship Status: The Sims must have a high enough relationship level, ideally "Romantic" or "In Love," for the "WooHoo" interaction to be available.
- WooHoo Interaction: After selecting the "WooHoo" interaction, the Sims will engage in an animation that lasts for a short period.
- Chance of Pregnancy: There is a chance of pregnancy after each "WooHoo" interaction, but it is not guaranteed. The likelihood of pregnancy can be influenced by factors such as the Sims' fertility levels, their age, and the use of certain in-game items like "Lucky" moodlets.
Confirmation and Progression
- Pregnancy Announcement: If a Sim becomes pregnant, they will receive a notification, and their "Pregnancy" moodlet will appear.
- Pregnancy Stages: The pregnancy will then progress through various stages, each with unique visual changes and moodlets.
- Baby Birth: Eventually, the pregnant Sim will give birth to a baby, adding a new member to the household.
