How do you stop a Sim from having babies?

Parenthood can be a double-edged sword in SimCity. On one hand, it’s a milestone event that brings joy and new life to your virtual family. On the other hand, it can lead to a never-ending parade of tiny Sim babies if you’re not careful. In this article, we’ll explore the various methods to prevent your Sims from having babies, whether it’s due to unwanted surprise or a desire to maintain a certain family size.

Method 1: Avioding Pregnancy

Disable Pregnancy in Game Options

• Under Settings > Game Options > Expansion > Pregnancy: Set Pregnancy to Off or Disable to prevent your Sims from getting pregnant.

Method 2: Use Fertility Stoppers

• Some Fertility Stoppers will prevent pregnancy: Certain game items, such as Birth Control Pills or IUDs, can be placed in your Sim’s inventory to prevent pregnancy.

Method 3: Manipulate Relationship

• Break Up or Avoid Romances: If your Sims are in a romantic relationship, breaking up or avoiding romance can prevent pregnancy from occurring.

Method 4: Use Mods

• Modding Pregnancy Prevention: Certain mods can disable pregnancy altogether or create a more realistic pregnancy process. Research and install compatible mods to achieve your desired outcome.

Method 5: Use Cheats

• Console Commands: Use console commands, such as sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester0 to set your Sim’s pregnancy to Not Pregnant.

Methods to Remove Unwanted Pregnancy

• Delete Pregnant Sim: If a Sim becomes pregnant unexpectedly, you can delete them using the Delete Sim option.
• Modify Pregnancy Trimester: Use console commands to alter the pregnancy trimester (e.g., sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester0 to set your Sim’s pregnancy to the first trimester).

Conclusion

Stopping a Sim from having babies can be achieved through various methods. By disabling pregnancy in game options, using fertility stoppers, manipulating relationships, modding, or using cheats, you can exercise control over your Sims’ reproductive lives. Remember that deleting a pregnant Sim is an option, but if you want to keep them, modifying the pregnancy trimester using console commands may be a better solution.
