Sims 3 birth

In The Sims 2 , Sims with high body skill may have a better chance of not throwing up, though they will still be visibly queasy, and their comfort meter may at times go into the red. Sims do not always throw up when pregnant, but they may wake up in the middle of the night to vomit.

In The Sims 2 , the Sim will not be visibly pregnant. In The Sims 3 , the bulge cannot be seen unless the player zooms in. Sims with the grumpy trait will be aggravated by morning sickness. During the first trimester, the pregnant Sim can't leap into other Sims' arms and other Sims can't leap into their arms.

It is possible to customize the maternity clothes the Sim will wear at this stage, before they become visibly pregnant. Pregnant Sims in The Sims 2 may have random drops in the hunger motive, which may take newer players by surprise. In The Sims 4 , the player can have the prospective mother do a pregnancy test after trying for a baby. This is done by selecting the action at the toilet.

If the Sim is pregnant, a "First Trimester" moodlet will appear, and will last 24 hours. If a pregnancy test is not done, the Sim will appear pregnant around 24 hours after conception. The second trimester lasts one day. At some point in the day, the pregnant Sim will attract the player's attention and change appearance. Their abdomen will expand and they will begin to wear maternity clothing. If the pregnant Sim has a job, they will be placed on maternity leave, and the carpool will not appear.

In The Sims 2 , however, a pregnant Sim who has access to a car can drive to work. In The Sims 2 , the Sim will be paid for these leave days even if they fall on one of their days off. Also, in The Sims 2 , calling a Sim who is on maternity leave during his or her work hours will still result in the " Sim is working" messages, and a Sim who "brings a friend" home from work may bring a pregnant Sim.

In The Sims 2 , a Sim at this point will no longer be able to do yoga or work out in front of a stereo, but will be able to work out in front of a television.

The Sim may be able to use some types of exercise equipment, but will not be able to use all types. The combined effects of pregnancy and working out will be hard on the Sim's motives, but this does not appear to pose any other risk. A pregnant Sim will be able to swim , but will be unable to use a diving board or pool slide. Pregnant Sims in the second and third trimesters can also expect to have cravings, in the form of more "Eat These are easy to fulfill, since they'll usually be a dish the Sim knows how to cook.

In The Sims 4 , a Sim in the second trimester may get a morning sickness moodlet upon waking from sleep. This will make them uncomfortable , and possibly even make them throw up.

The third trimester lasts one day. The expectant Sim will get the attention of the player and the abdomen will enlarge again. They can no longer drive, use the swing , or use the electro-dance sphere from Nightlife. They will suffer from mood swings, in which the outcome of Social interactions between the pregnant Sim and another will change. In The Sims 3 , they will get negative moodlets, such as the "Sore" moodlet, and may no longer run.

In The Sims 4 , the third trimester can last one or more days, as birth can happen at any time rather than at a set time as in previous games. While normally Sims give birth within 3 days of the start of the third trimester, it can be extended indefinitely by preventing the Sim from entering their lot or a hospital.

On the last day of the pregnancy the Sim will attract the viewer once again and go into 'labor'. This is an autonomous action and all Sims on the lot or nearby will be drawn to the Sim to 'panic' This includes the Grim Reaper if he is on the lot. In The Sims 3 and in The Sims 4: Get to Work , the pregnant Sim can be taken to the hospital when clicked on while in labor, or they can stay at home, and have a safe and comfortable birth. The advantages of giving birth at the hospital are that the baby's bassinet will be provided free of charge and all of the pregnant Sim's motives will be replenished.

In The Sims 2 , a screen will come up with the message "There's a new family member on the way! If the special camera is enabled, a cinematic will commence showing the birth of the baby, otherwise the Sim will turn around on the spot and a new family member is born.

If the Sim has a job, they will get additional leave in the form of three vacation days , regardless of the number of vacation days they already have. These work like ordinary vacation days; if the Sim is scheduled to work, the carpool will come, and the Sim will get in unless the player cancels that action.

These vacation days will not be lost if they are not used while the new family member is a baby. If another family member can stay home with the baby, the player may want to let the Sim go to work in order to save a leave day for later. A Sim who gives birth to twins will change out of maternity wear after the first baby is born.

In The Sims 3 a little pop-up will say: "The baby is coming! Make sure Sim is at home or in the hospital so she can have a safe and comfortable birth! If the father of the unborn child is on a different lot or at work when a Sim goes into labor, he will go to the hospital to be with the mother. If the Sim stays at home, the Sim will turn on the spot, and the baby will be born there. In The Sims 4 labor lasts several hours. The Sim can continue to do things while in labor but will be continuously uncomfortable.

If the player bought a bassinet previously, the Sim will go to the bassinet to give birth when the time comes. If they didn't or the Sim is blocked from accessing a bassinet, a bassinet will spawn spontaneously when the baby is born. After the birth of the baby or babies , the player will then be able to name them.

In The Sims 3 , depending on how happy the mother was during her pregnancy, the player might be able to choose both traits for the baby, just one, or none at all. However the sim WILL lose a day of vacation unpaid since she is waiving her maternity leave by going to work.
