Have you always wanted your little Sim family to have a pair of twins? If so, you are in luck! There are three different ways to have twins in The Sims 2 besides waiting for fate to kick in. You will need the Open For Business or FreeTime expansions for this to work.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Using Cheesecake (Open for Business)

PDF download Download Article
  1. In order to bake a cheesecake, a Sim needs to have at least seven Cooking skill points. You can raise their skill level by having them study Cooking from a bookshelf, watching The Yummy Channel on TV, preparing meals, and using the chocolate-maker Career Reward from the Culinary career track.
  2. In most cases, Sims will get pregnant through Try For Baby; after the Sims have finished the action, a lullaby chime will play if the Sim is now pregnant. In more rare cases, adult male Sims who were abducted by aliens will return pregnant.

  4. A pregnant Sim who has eaten cheesecake will give birth to twins.
    • Your Sim only needs to eat cheesecake once to have twins.

Using Aspiration Benefits (FreeTime)

PDF download Download Article

The Sim does not have to be pregnant for this method.

  1. This will not work if the Sim's secondary aspiration is Family - it must be their primary aspiration.
  2. Click on the treasure chest icon in the last section of the Sim's UI.
  3. (This is the third tab, and should look like a Family icon and a treasure chest combined.) Then, click on the icon to the left that looks like a child, adult, and treasure chest. This icon is for Lifetime Aspiration Benefits.
  4. Click each box until you reach "Super Fertility" at the top of the panel. This costs 4 Aspiration Points.
  5. Super Fertility naturally raises your Sim's chance of conceiving twins, so after you have the reward, you don't need to do anything besides make the Sim have a baby!

    Can I use "forcetwins" without any expansion packs?
    Community Answer
    No. You need Open For Business or Pets to use the forcetwins cheat; otherwise, you'll just get an error dialogue when you press Enter.

  • Question
    Can I get triplets?
    Community Answer
    Triplets don't naturally exist in The Sims 2. If you want your Sim to have triplets, you'll need to install a third-party hack that allows for triplets (or allows you to adjust the number of children you want born).

      Tips

      • These are the only known in-game methods of getting your Sim to have twins. Anything else is an unconfirmed rumor that likely won't work.

      • Unlike gender, the chance of your Sim having twins is determined at conception. You cannot reload your game before your Sim gives birth and turn a single birth into twins, or vice versa.

      • Hacks such as the InSIMenator or InTEENimator allow you to force a Sim to give birth to twins. (The InSIMenator has the Reproductive Adjuster, where you can change the number of babies born, and the InTEENimator's Biological Clock has an "I Want Twins With..." option.)
        Thanks
