The “On Ley Line” lot trait in The Sims 4 is a highly sought-after feature for Simmers looking to increase their chances of having twins or even triplets. This trait, introduced as part of a free update alongside the City Living Expansion Pack, adds a layer of unpredictability and excitement to your Sims’ family planning. This article will provide a comprehensive guide on how to acquire this trait and also address common questions related to twins, triplets, and pregnancy within the game.

How to Get the Twins Lot Trait

The “On Ley Line” trait isn’t something you find or unlock in the game; it’s a lot trait that needs to be assigned to a lot. Here’s how to do it:

Enter Build Mode: First, you need to be in Build Mode. You can access this mode regardless of whether you’re actively playing a family or in edit-world mode.
Open the Lot Info Panel: Look at the top-left corner of your screen. You will see an ‘i’ icon in a house shape. Click on this icon to open the Venue Info menu. This is also sometimes referred to as the “Home panel”.
Access the Traits Panel: In the Venue Info menu, you’ll find a question mark icon. Click this icon, and the Traits Panel will appear. This panel displays all the current traits applied to your lot.
Select “On Ley Line”: If your lot doesn’t have three assigned traits already, you’ll see available slots for adding new traits. Look through the list and select the “On Ley Line” trait.
Confirmation: Once you select it, the trait will be active. You will now notice that when you go to ‘Try for Baby’ on this lot, it has increased chance to have twins.

Key Points to Remember About Lot Traits

Flexibility: You can change lot traits anytime through Build Mode without using cheat codes. This allows you to adapt your lot to your family’s needs.
Maximum Traits: You can assign a maximum of three lot traits to a lot simultaneously. If all three slots are full, you’ll need to remove one to add “On Ley Line.”
Stacking: The “On Ley Line” trait stacks with other fertility modifiers, such as the Fertile trait or a Fertility Massage, further increasing the likelihood of multiple births.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some frequently asked questions about twins, triplets, and related aspects of The Sims 4 to further enhance your gameplay experience:

1. What is the “On Ley Line” trait and how does it work?

The “On Ley Line” trait is a lot trait that increases the odds of Sims having twins or triplets when they try for a baby on a lot with this trait. It’s designed to add an element of chance and excitement to family planning.

2. How can I increase the chance of having twins outside of the “On Ley Line” trait?

There are several methods to increase the chances of multiple births in The Sims 4:

Fertility Massage: Available with the Spa Day Game Pack, a fertility massage given or received can significantly boost the chance of twins. Sims with high Wellness skill can provide this massage.
Elixir of Fertility: The Outdoor Retreat Game Pack allows Sims with a Level 10 Herbalism skill to brew the Elixir of Fertility, which dramatically raises the chances of twins or triplets.
Fertile Trait: Some Sims may have the Fertile trait, which increases their chances of multiple births naturally.
Listening to Kids Music and Watching Kids TV: During pregnancy, listening to kids music or watching kids TV channels can increase the chances of twins and triplets.

3. Can you make twins in Create-a-Sim (CAS)?

Yes, aside from having twins through pregnancy, you can create twin Sims directly in CAS. This allows for more creative control over your Sims’ relationships and origins.

4. How many lot traits can I have on a single lot?

You can have a maximum of three lot traits simultaneously assigned to any lot. You can freely remove and add traits as needed in Build Mode.

5. Can I get twins from a Science Baby?

Yes, the chance of having twins or triplets from a science baby is the same as with any other pregnancy. The science baby method doesn’t inherently change the probability of multiple births.

6. How long does pregnancy last in The Sims 4?

Pregnancy in The Sims 4 lasts for approximately three Sim days regardless of the lifespan setting. Expect morning sickness and visits to the bathroom!

7. What are hidden traits in The Sims 4?

Some traits are hidden and not visible in CAS. Examples include:

Offspring of Father Winter.
Magical Bloodline (weak, strong, or ancient).
Sulani Mana Trait.
Master Tinkerer.

Currently, there isn’t a known hidden trait for vampire bloodline, but it is a commonly speculated and desired feature.

8. Why are my Sims always having twins?

If your Sim is frequently having twins, it’s likely due to the combination of lot traits, fertility massages, listening to kids music during pregnancy, fertile trait, or other modifiers.

9. How do I speed up pregnancy in The Sims 4?

You can’t speed up pregnancy naturally within the game. However, you can use cheat codes:

PC: Hold CTRL + Shift + C, then type pregnancy.complete.
Mac: Hold Command + Shift + C, then type pregnancy.complete.
PlayStation & Xbox: Hold all four shoulder buttons at once to open the cheat console then type pregnancy.complete.

10. Can my Sims have half-siblings?

Yes, Sims can have half-siblings. You can use mods like the MasterController mod to add different parents to children and thus create a half sibling relationship.

11. What is the rarest type of twins?

The rarest type of twins is Monoamniotic-monochorionic (MoMo) twins, which share a chorion, placenta, and amniotic sac. This type of pregnancy carries a higher risk.

12. Can I increase the chance of triplets?

While the Elixir of Fertility and the “On Ley Line” trait can increase the chance of triplets, they’re less common than twins. Natural conception of triplets is rare; fertility assistance/medication is the primary way to achieve this in real life, but that is simulated in game with the aforementioned traits and elixirs.

13. What is Father Winter’s baby trait?

When your Sim has a baby with Father Winter, the child receives the Father Winter’s Baby Trait, which boosts satisfaction points earned from completing whims by 50%.

14. Do Sims get an inheritance?

When a Sim dies, all the items in their personal inventory are moved to the Household Inventory. This acts as an inheritance for the remaining family members.

15. Are Sim traits permanent?

Creation traits selected in CAS during Sim creation are permanent, and do not change, even if a Sim changes their aspirations later. Each Sim can only have one of these traits chosen. Aspiration traits are gained during gameplay and can be swapped. Lot traits are assigned to lots, and can be swapped out for other lot traits as needed.

By utilizing the “On Ley Line” lot trait and understanding the various factors that influence pregnancy in The Sims 4, you can create more dynamic and unpredictable family stories. Whether you’re aiming for a house full of twins or the challenge of raising triplets, these methods provide a fun way to add complexity to your gameplay. Happy Simming!
