Can Sims Have More than One Baby?
Direct Answer:
In The Sims 4, Sims can have multiple children, but the process involves some specific steps. Players can have up to 7 babies at a time, but the household capacity is limited to 8 Sims. This means that if you have 7 Sims, including the parent(s), you won’t be able to have more than one baby.
Why Can’t My Sims Have More Kids?
A common issue players face is that they can’t seem to have more kids even when they want to. This might be due to the household capacity limit mentioned earlier. Another reason is that the Sim may already be pregnant or might be in a relationship that does not allow them to start a new family.
How to Have Multiple Babies
To have multiple babies, you’ll need to follow these steps:
• Fertility Massage: Level up your Wellness skill to Level 9 to unlock the Fertility Massage interaction. This will increase the chances of your Sim getting pregnant.
• Try for Baby: When your Sim is in a romantic relationship, you can select the "Try for Baby" interaction. If they’re already pregnant, the option won’t be available.
• Wait and Try Again: Once a Sim has given birth, you can try for a new baby with the same Sim or another one. Repeat this process until you reach the household capacity or your desired number of children.
Twins and Triplets
While rare, Sims can have twins or triplets. According to the game’s data, the chances of having twins are 10%, while triplets are only 1%. To increase your chances of having multiple births, you can try using the Fertility Massage or engaging in romantic activities that boost the chances of a multiple pregnancy.
Other Factors Affecting Childbirth
Some factors might affect your Sim’s chances of having a successful childbirth:
• Age: Your Sim’s age can impact the success of childbirth. Pregnant Sims over the age of 35 are at a higher risk of miscarrying.
• Health: Your Sim’s overall health can affect their ability to carry a healthy pregnancy. Make sure to keep your Sims in good health by providing them with nutritious food, plenty of rest, and regular doctor’s visits.
• Relationship Status: Your Sim’s relationship status can impact the success of childbirth. Ensure that your Sims are in a stable and loving relationship before trying for a baby.
Conclusion
While Sims can have multiple children, the process requires specific steps and attention to the household capacity and Sim health. By following these tips and understanding the factors that affect childbirth, you’ll be well on your way to building a large and happy family in The Sims 4.
