In Sims 4, players have some control over the gender of their new arrival, although customization options for babies are limited.
Here’s the step-by-step guide to Choose Your Baby’s Gender.
If you’re interested in simulating family life in The Sims 4, you might be curious about the process of having a baby and determining its gender.
Understanding the process of pregnancy is crucial when it comes to growing your family. After your Sims have WooHooed using the “Try for a Baby” mechanic, the gender of your baby cannot be selected after pregnancy.
Fortunately, there is a method to influence gender or even utilize cheats if you truly desire to alter it.
Although there are options to play as an Infant in Sims 4, the customization choices for babies are quite limited.
Many players resort to alternative methods when they want to change a baby’s gender, as ultrasound is not always reliable for this purpose.
Many players are interested in knowing the gender of their babies in order to decorate a nursery. It can be challenging to decorate without this information.
Use Cheats To Change Your Baby’s Gender
One method to alter a baby’s gender in Sims 4 is by utilizing cheats, which can be a convenient option. However, it’s important to note that these can only be used with physical NPCs once the baby is born.
Just a heads up: in order to use cheats, you’ll have to enable them. To open the console for PC users, simply press Ctrl + Shift + C.
For PlayStation or Xbox users, simply press all four shoulder buttons.
To enable cheats, simply enter the command “testingcheats true”.
Then, if cheats are enabled, enter cas.fulleditmode. With this feature, you’ll have the freedom to modify every aspect of a Sim’s appearance and traits, just like when you first start creating a brand new character.
To open up Create-A-Sim mode, simply hold down Shift and click on the baby Sim (use X and Circle on consoles). You have the option to modify the baby’s name and gender from this menu.
Change Your Baby’s Gender Without Cheats
If you’re not keen on using cheats but still want to have some control over your baby’s gender, there is an alternative method you can try.
By making certain choices in your Sim’s diet and music preferences, you can increase the likelihood of them having a baby of a specific gender.
It is important to address this during the pregnancy phase, as altering a baby’s gender after birth is not possible without resorting to cheats.
If you’re hoping for a baby girl, a little tip is to have the pregnant Sim enjoy some delicious strawberries and listen to some upbeat pop music on the radio.
If you’re not sure where to find Strawberries, you can easily pick them in the various Sims neighborhoods.
If you’re hoping for a baby boy, try incorporating carrots into your pregnant Sim’s diet and playing some Alternative music.
It’s important to keep in mind that the activities mentioned above can enhance the likelihood of having a baby of a specific gender, but they do not provide a definite guarantee.
Although the methods mentioned above may seem unconventional, they are currently the only means of altering a baby’s gender (prior to birth) in The Sims 4.
