Question

Do I have to be on a certain level or something to be able to have a kid?

Community Answer

On the tablet, or Sims Freeplay, you have to get to the romance task. On PC or console, no.

Question

How do I cancel the option of being taken to the hospital for birth on the Sims 3?

Community Answer

If this is on the PC, you can just keep left-clicking on the actions. You can also just create a room, make the mom go inside, delete the door, and wait for her to give birth. I've never done a home birth, but I expect the second option would work better.

Question

How do I do the pregnancy test in The Sims 3?

Community Answer

You can only do pregnancy tests in The Sims 4, right after you've completed the Try For Baby option. The only indicator in The Sims 3 that a Sim is pregnant is if they go to vomit for unknown reasons and not because of a trait (such as eating meat when a vegetarian), or when the pregnancy moodlet appears.

Question

How can I get romantic bars so I can try to have a baby?

Community Answer

You have to click on the sim you want to have a baby with, and click on the tab that says "Romance". Choose options from that category until the other sim says that your sim is "extremely irresistible". You must have had at least your first kiss with the sim to have a baby with them.

Question

Why can't I call the adoption services in the Sims 3?

Community Answer

It should already be under "Services" in your Sim's phone, but if for some reason you can't find it, buy them a computer and check under "Household" after clicking on the computer.

Question

What should I do if the female Sim or male Sim refuses the woohoo or try for baby option when it says extremely irresistible?

Community Answer

A good idea is to get the never dull lifetime purchase. Otherwise the sim who is being communicated with will say it's boring.

Question

What can I do if I've married my sims, sent the couple a bed, and hit the 'WooHoo' button but still haven't had a baby?

Community Answer

Only the 'Try for Baby' action can get a Sim pregnant. The 'WooHoo' action has no chance of pregnancy. Try clicking on 'Try for Baby' next time. If it doesn't come up in the actions menu, increase the relationship between the two sims.

Question

What should I do if this didn't work?

Community Answer

Check the ages of your Sims, check the size of your household (remember, you can only have eight, and pets count!), and if all else fails, ask EA/Origin for some help.

Is this an iPad game?

No, I believe this is for PC, although this may work on The Sims 3 for mobile and it definitely works on the Xbox 360 version.

Question

What can I do if my Sims just keep getting uncomfortable no matter how I try to get their romance up?

Community Answer

You should get them to the friend or good friend stage, then you should try the “romance” until you get to the point you want it to be.

Question

What can I do if the "Try for a baby" option isn't coming up?

Community Answer

Your Sims need to have had their first kiss before the option will pop up. If you don't want to spend the time building up their relationship, create a sim with the "Family Oriented" trait and their spouse in Create-A-Sim. The option will pop up immediately under "Special" and "Family Oriented."

Question

Why isn't there a Try for a Baby option for my Sims 3?

Community Answer

Your Sims have to have a high enough relationship. Also, the two Sims have to be of opposite genders; a gay/lesbian couple cannot Try For Baby.

Question

What do I do if it won't let me adopt a child or try for a baby?

Community Answer

If the Sim is still a teen, you won't be able to adopt yet. If not, that might mean you had a child taken by social worker.

Question

Can both Sims be pregnant at the same time? Can celebrity Sims also be pregnant?

Community Answer

Only female Sims can become pregnant, and female Sims cannot get each other pregnant, so no. Celebrity Sims can become pregnant just as easily as non-celebrity Sims.

Question

How do I get a full bar of romance on The Sims 3?

Community Answer

Use actions under the "Romance" category between the two sims until the relationships are "Romantic Interest". Continue to use romantic actions until you see "Propose going steady". If the sim agrees, they will be in a relationship. Then you can click on a bed or shower and use the "Try for A baby" option.

Question

What do I do if my Sims are dating and flirty, but when I click the bed, it doesn't come up with "try for baby?"

Community Answer

You need to click on the Sim you want your Sim to have a baby with, not the bed. Also you need to be near a double (not single) bed or other woohoo location to do this.

Question

Do the same steps apply when I'm using a 3DS?

Community Answer

Yes you can have babies! What you have to do is get to the most romantic you can get, then make them both relax on a twin sim bed, then click on the sim you are not playing as and press cuddle [you will have to do this a couple of times] then you will get a choice to either woohoo or try for baby when you hear a lullaby, your sim is successfully pregnant.

Question

What if you play the Sims 3 and you are married and too old to have a baby?

FaeFae

Community Answer

Then you can't have a baby. But you can still adopt, unless you have had a child taken away by the social worker before. However, male elders can impregnate younger women.
