Can you accidentally get pregnant in The Sims 3?

In The Sims 3, accidental pregnancy is not a typical occurrence, as Sims need to use the ‘Try for Baby’ option to get pregnant, but there is a small chance that WooHoo can result in pregnancy, although this is less likely. Pregnancy in the game is mainly experienced by Young Adult and Adult female Sims who have participated in the ‘Try for Baby’ interaction with a Young Adult/Adult/Elder male.

Understanding Pregnancy in The Sims 3

To understand how pregnancy works in The Sims 3, it’s essential to know that Sims can get pregnant through the ‘Try for Baby’ option, which has a higher chance of resulting in pregnancy compared to regular WooHoo. Sims who are hoping to start a family need to use this option instead of relying on regular WooHoo.
