Mastering Maternity Manipulation: Pregnancy Cheats in The Sims 3

So, you’re looking to fast-track your Sims’ journey into parenthood in The Sims 3? Whether you’re impatient, want to control the narrative, or just enjoy a little digital mischief, there are several ways to cheat on a pregnancy in The Sims 3. From instant pregnancies to induced labor, here’s your comprehensive guide to manipulating motherhood in the game.

The most common methods involve using cheats to directly influence your Sim’s pregnancy status. This includes initiating a pregnancy, advancing through trimesters, inducing labor, or even manipulating the number of babies. We’ll explore these techniques, delve into the use of mods for more complex scenarios, and address common questions to ensure you’re a master of virtual maternity.

Becoming a Pregnancy Power User: Cheat Codes and Mods

Instant Pregnancy via NRaas MasterController

One of the easiest methods is through the NRaas MasterController mod. This powerful mod gives you unprecedented control over your Sims and their world. Here’s how to use it for a quick pregnancy:

  1. Install NRaas MasterController: Download and install the mod from a reputable source like NRaas Industries. Ensure it’s compatible with your game version.
  2. Click on the Target Sim: Select the female Sim you want to become pregnant.
  3. Access MasterController: Click on the Sim, then navigate to NRaas > Master Controller > Basic > Pollinate.
  4. Select the Other Parent: Choose the desired father from the list of Sims in town. Note that depending on your mod settings, homeless, service, and role Sims may or may not be included.
  5. Accept: Confirm your selection, and your Sim will instantly become pregnant.

Command Line Pregnancy Manipulation

For players who prefer to use the in-game cheat console, these commands offer a more direct approach:

  1. Open the Cheat Console: Press Ctrl + Shift + C simultaneously. A text entry box will appear at the top of your screen.

  2. Enter the Testing Cheats Enabled Code: Type testingcheatsenabled true and press Enter. This activates advanced cheat functionality.

  3. Advance Pregnancy Trimesters: Use the following codes to jump through the trimesters:

    • sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester1 (First Trimester)
    • sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester2 (Second Trimester)

    Enter the code for each trimester to progress the pregnancy.

  4. Induce Labor: To immediately trigger labor, use the following code:

    • Sims.Add_Buff Buff_Pregnancy_Inlabor

    This will initiate the “Pregnancy: In Labour” moodlet, prompting your Sim to give birth.

Manipulating Pregnancy Outcomes with Cheats

Beyond simply initiating pregnancy, you can also influence the outcome, such as the number of babies and their gender.

  1. Activate Testing Cheats: Ensure testingcheatsenabled true is active.

  2. Find Sim ID: To use the offspring count cheat, you need your Sim’s ID. You can find this using the sims.get_sim_id_by_name [Sim's First Name] [Sim's Last Name] cheat.

  3. Force Offspring Count: Use the following cheat to specify the number of babies:

    • pregnancy.force_offspring_count [Sim ID] [Number of Babies]

    For example, pregnancy.force_offspring_count 123456789 3 would ensure Sim with ID 123456789 has triplets.

  4. Influence Gender: While less direct, you can influence the baby’s gender by having the pregnant Sim eat specific foods:

    • Apples (or anything containing apples) increase the chance of having a boy.
    • Watermelons (or anything containing watermelons) increase the chance of having a girl.

Same-Sex Pregnancy and Advanced Options

The base game doesn’t support same-sex pregnancies, but mods can fill this gap:

  1. Download a Same-Sex Pregnancy Mod: Install a mod that enables same-sex pregnancies. Several options are available on modding sites.
  2. Hospital Overhaul Mod: Consider using the hospital overhaul mod, which often includes options for surrogacy and sperm donation for same-sex couples.
