Why is my male Sim pregnant?

Your male Sim can become pregnant through alien abduction, a unique feature in the Sims 4 game, where male Sims have a 25% chance of returning pregnant after an encounter with aliens, or through the “Try for Baby” option with an alien partner, which can also lead to a male pregnancy, and in some cases, a miracle pregnancy can occur when a Sim “discusses expanding family” with a Love interest. The pregnancy is marked by the “Weird Tummy Ache” moodlet and progresses through three trimesters, similar to a female pregnancy, with the male Sim giving birth 72 hours after the abduction.
