    How do I have triplets in the Sims 3?
    Community Answer
    The traits of being Family Oriented, Natural Cook, Handy, Lucky and Romantic should help your Sim. Watch the kids channel on your TV in the Sims, listen to kids music and buy fertility treatment for both parents.
  • Question
    My Sims have had "Woohoo" twice but still are't pregnant. Why is this?
    September Kordelewski
    Community Answer
    Was it "woohoo" or "try for baby"? "Woohoo" is when Sims don't have children from the deed. "Try for baby" usually does the trick.

    Do both parents need the fertility option to have twins?

    To have one boy and two girls, eat one apple and two watermelons. Repeat this until labor. For one girl and two boys, have one watermelon and two apples. Repeat this until labor. For two boys, have three apples, and for two girls, have three watermelons, and repeat until labor.

    How do I get twin girls?
    Community Answer
    As noted in the article, it is possible to choose gender. For girls, eat 3 watermelons within the first 1 to 2 days of your female Sim being pregnant. Or, you can just play it lucky and see whether or not two girls happen as a random act.
  • Question
    What if you want a boy and 2 girls?

    During the first trimester (just when the baby is starting to show), eat one apple and two watermelons. As you reach the second and third trimester, repeat this. Hopefully this should work!

  • Question
    Do twins and triplets look alike in the game, or do they not?
    September Kordelewski

    They do not while they are in the baby stage. They look more like each other when they are toddlers, with only minor facial differences.
  • Question
    How do I know when they are in the second and third trimesters?

  • Question
    My Sim read the pregnancy book, but when she gave birth to triplets, she didn't get to choose their first 2 traits. What happened?
    September Kordelewski
    Community Answer
    She may not have been happy during the pregnancy or was in a bad mood. Other factors may have been in play as well.
  • Question
    Is there a way to ensure I get twins, but not triplets?
    Community Answer
    If you have fertility treatments for both parents, they're more likely to have triplets, so I suggest buying it for just one parent.
  • Question
    I forgot to buy the Fertility Treatment before trying for baby. I bought it as soon as I remembered (two/three hours later). Would it affect the pregnancy? Can I still have a chance of multiples?
    Community Answer
    You don’t necessarily need to have it before you try for a baby, it helps increase the chance of multiples.
  • Question

  • Question
    How can I be the best parent in Sims 3?
    Community Answer
    Give the child toys, and constantly have positive interaction. However, there is no reason to be the "best parent" because there isn't a reward for it.
  • Question
    Does this method work every time?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You should only need the fertility treatment once for each Sim.
  • Question
    How do I know if I am pregnant with twins other than listening to music and having a special mood?

    Around labor, a second crib will pop up if you just have one. Just put away all other cribs and leave one, so when she is near labor, another crib will pop up.

  • Question

  • Question
    What if I want twins that are girls and two boys that are twins?
    September Kordelewski

    The chance is generally random. It is possible to give her the Fertility Lifetime reward to enhance a possibility for more children, and then she just needs to eat watermelons.
  • Question
    Are the days for eating apples/watermelons in game days or real days?
    Community Answer
    You have to eat apples/watermelons in game days, not real days. So on days 1-3 of pregnancy, eat the desired fruit for the gender you want.
