IN The sims 3 there is a clever way to get the correct gender of the baby from a pregnant character. As weird as it sounds, you need to send your Sim to the grocery store to do this. This method is not 100% guaranteed, but it works in most cases.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Promote the appearance of a boy or girl

1. 1 Take action immediately. In Game The sims 3 a sim's pregnancy lasts only 72 in-game hours. If you heard the music while your characters were trying to conceive, then they did it successfully. You can also understand about the onset of pregnancy in a sim through the "Go here" menu, if there is no choice of options between "Run" and "Go" in it.
2. 2 Consider turning off the Story Advancement option. According to unconfirmed reports, the "Plot Development" option tries to maintain a balance of the male and female populations in the city. In other words, if there are more women than men in the city, then the game can make it so that the next child born is a boy. Therefore, just in case, it is better to turn off the "Plot development" function.
3. 3 For a boy to be born, have the character eat at least three apples. According to Prima's strategy game guide, if a Sim consumes three apples during pregnancy, the likelihood of having a boy increases. This method does not give a guaranteed result, but it allows you to maximize your chances of success without installing a third-party mod.
   • Just in case, some users recommend eating three apples in each trimester of pregnancy (on the first, second and third days of pregnancy, game time). However, according to other sources, eating more than three apples does not increase your chances in any way.
4. 4 For a girl to be born, have the character eat three watermelons. This product works in the same way as apples, but has the opposite effect. Have a pregnant Sim eat at least three watermelons to increase the chances of having a baby girl.
   • Since the release of patch 1.3, fruits are only valid in their raw form. Eating cooked apples or watermelons does not affect the sex of the unborn child.

Method 2 of 2: Facilitate the production of heterosexual twins

1. 1 Increase your chances of having twins. With any pregnancy of a character in the game, there is a small chance that twins may be born. In addition, certain actions make the birth of twins more likely, but this cannot be guaranteed.
   • Purchase the Fertility Prize for one or two parents at once (if this bonus is available, both parents may even have triplets).
   • During pregnancy, let the pregnant woman read pregnancy books, watch KidZone TV and listen to baby music. All this can be done at the same time.
   • If you're playing with the Show Business expansion, wish yourself a big family with the gin or drink the elixir of childbirth.
2. 2 See a doctor to determine the sex of the unborn child. Find a Sim with at least Level 5 in the Doctor Career (Resident and above).Have a friendly conversation with this character and ask him to determine the gender of the child. You will have a pop-up window that will tell you who will be born - a boy or a girl. This prediction is always accurate, but only for one child.
   • The character's pregnancy must be noticeable externally so that you have the opportunity to determine the sex of the unborn child in this way.
3. 3 Eat fruit to change the gender of your second child. As stated above, eat watermelons for a baby girl, or eat apples for a baby boy. In a lucky combination of circumstances, if twins (or even triplets) are born, doing this will increase the chances that the sex of the second child in twins (or triplets) will be what you want.
   • For example, if the doctor predicts a baby boy, feed the character with watermelons to increase the chances of having a baby girl. One child is guaranteed to be a boy, but if the character gives birth to twins, the chances are high that the second child will be a girl.

Tips

• If you decide to adopt a child, then you have the option to choose the gender.
• If the male character becomes pregnant with aliens, save the game before giving birth. If the gender of the baby is not what you want, simply restart the saved game and try again (this does not work for normal births).
• Alternatively, if during the delivery in the hospital the child turns out to be of the wrong gender, which you expected, start the game from the saved file and, possibly, another time the child of the required gender will be born.
