  • In this video, I'm comparing PREGNANCY in The Sims 2 vs. The Sims 3 vs. The Sims 4. So many things have changed since the original game - when a baby would just appear out of thin air. Now our Sims go through it all - from conception to labor!

    Thanks so much for watching! I did not cover ALIEN PREGNANCY in this video because there was SO MUCH to cover already. Alien pregnancy will be another video coming soon!
    ALSO, A CORRECTION - In Sims 4, the pregnant belly does not grow gradually as I said in the video. I always assumed it was gradual, since you don't get a "pop" like in Sims 2, and I could find no official information stating that's how it worked. But, the truth is the baby bump increases in size once in second trimester and once in the third trimester. Your Sim will get an instant bump if they take a pregnancy test.

      @@anaorlandini1138 it is still recommended to avoid cleaning the litter box when you're pregnant. Of course you can still do it with some hygienic measurements such as wearing gloves and washing your hands before touching your clothes or other parts of your body (from where the toxoplasmosis can eventually get into your mouth).

      @biblicallyaccuratecockroach 3 роки тому +218

      @@anaorlandini1138 Exactly, it's more of a danger if you ingest the cysts. Just being near cat feces isn't dangerous, it even takes a couple days for the cysts in the feces to become infectious so if the litterbox is cleaned everyday you can keep the environment clean, especially if you use that scoop? thing to pick up the feces, as happens in the games already, because who would want to touch feces with their hands? This myth is sad, too many cats have been abandoned or put down due to fear that their mere presence will cause problems for the baby :( It's a greater risk to eat undercooked meat, because it can have cysts that can cause infection, in fact there was a fad once of giving young women deliberately contaminated meat, since it's only a risk if you get infected DURING the pregnancy, if you get infected before your body will already be equipped to combat it and the baby will be unharmed. So just make sure to cook your meat thoroughly, clean the litter box everyday, and wash your hands before eating. You should already be doing all of those things already, so please don't blame the poor cat 🐈 ❤️

      Actually the maternity leave is NOT strictly forced, at least in Sims 2. The mother-to-be will not go to work autonomously and the car pool will not come. HOWEVER, if mom-to-be owns a car, you can click on it and make her go to work by choosing "drive to work" (at least in the second trimester- I forget whether it works in the third). I believe you can also make her walk to work provided you have the EP that option was introduced in (I THINK it's FreeTime).

He/she can also fear being pregnant after risky woohoo or having impregnated someone and correct me If I'm wrong, a non-commital sim is less inclined to try for a baby too.

    In the Sims 4, if you have a sim with the "hates kids" trait who is also pregnant, they will get negative moodlets regarding thier pregnancy. One particular moodlet (I don't remember what it's called) times out in sync with when labour starts, so you can use it as a baby count-down timer.

    I’m not sure why more people don’t know this, but the best way to know if someone is pregnant in TS4 without a pregnancy test is to look at the Sim’s ageing bar. If it says ‘Sims don’t age while pregnant’ or whatever then you know. But if you don’t use a test the pregnancy lasts FOUR days which isn’t great.

    I like aspects of each version's birth.
    I'd love to see them do a combination of the three for future Sims games. Maybe even add in the option to be a surrogate or ask someone if they will be.
    I'd also love to see timing for conception come into play some how in future games. Maybe not a full period system, but at least have some days where its more or less likely to conceive without using mods. I also like the weird machine in the Sims 4, its a silly way to show the process lol. I'd also like to see another option too where its more realistic, but not showing anything, but maybe have a bed you get into at the hospital and they pull curtains around it and blur it out too. I'd also like a little longer of a stay at the hospital too. Like maybe one day at the hospital and during this time your parenting skill would increase a bit faster.
    Also, side note, but I kinda feel like babies are fine like they are in the Sims 4, but there can still be improvements. Like add in objects (changing table, cribs, baby bath, stroller, etc) where you switch the baby between those objects. The baby could also have a needs bar or maybe be similar to the bee and insect box where it gives a vague detail of the mood and needs of the baby.
    I also had an idea where the higher the parenting skill, the more details you get from the UI and you eventually unlock the full needs and you know what the baby wants and don't have to guess. If you have a new baby after you max the parenting skill, you could still have to unlock the full needs by improving the relationship with the baby (75% friendship would unlock some, then 80% more, etc)

    2. If you want a girl, avoid eating Pancake, more specific, apple pancake. It still counts, even tho there's probably not that much apple in it
