Can You Influence Baby Gender Sims 2?

In the Sims 2 game, the gender of a baby is determined at birth, but there are some cheats and tricks that can be used to influence the baby’s gender, such as saving before the Sim goes into labor and using a tombstone of life and death on a male Sim to create an opposite-gender clone. The boolProp testingcheatsenabled true cheat can also be used to force twins, but there is no direct way to choose the baby’s gender without using third-party mods or cheats.

FAQs

General Questions

1. Can two female Sims have a baby Sims 2?: In the Sims 2, two female or two male Sims can have a baby only with a mod, as same-gender couples cannot have babies in an unmodded game and must adopt if they want a baby.
2. How do you have a male baby on Sims 2?: If the baby has two parents, there’s a 50/50 chance of it being either gender, and the gender is determined at birth, so saving before the Sim goes into labor can allow you to reload until you get the gender of your choice.
3. Can Sims have two dads?: Yes, you can create a household with two male Sims, set them as married, and give them children by creating another random Sim in the household and assigning their relationship to both adults as father.
4. Can two male Sims get married?: Yes, same-gender marriages are allowed in the Sims 2, and the option comes up when both Sims are in love, which can be achieved by doing romantic interactions such as woohoo or playing in bed together.
