Why is it called Try for Baby?

Why is the option to have a baby a called "try for baby"? I never understand cause so far, every pregnancy in the game had been successful. Never once did "try for baby" fail. I don't know if there's a way to fail it or for the pregnancy to fail while the mom sim is bearing. I think maybe it should be renamed "woohoo for baby" since every "try" is a success.

Please don't be mean to me cause this post. I play the game vanilla style, and only still on my first family so far. But I gotten 5 kids successfully from "try for baby" building the family. So I guess the option's name amuses me. Please be kind.

    So if an elder dies from woohoo'ing do they become a ghost who is just happy all the time? lol


    It would be so funny if a ghost is happy if they died from woohooing. XDD


    I can assure you that, they are not that happy. They died due to overexertion. :#


    It would be funny if death by woohooing would make a sim ghost happy. BUT it's understandable that they wouldn't be happy about it afterwards cause it would suck to die, even when it's a fun activity in the moment of death. Thank you :3

    I have few Sims that unable to conceive multiple times although both of the Sims have a great woohoo & in a flirty mood. I don't know what is the reason, perhaps, it's a monthly thing for my female Sims? I don't know. Maybe both Sims have fertility issues? I don't know either. But, it makes it a little bit interesting too.


    Yeah that's interesting. My sims don't seem to have any issue with fertility so far. Well, not counting the offsprings of the Stein family. They are all teens currently, so I don't know if any of their daughters or sons lack fertility yet. But with mine, Mr. & Mrs. Stein had 5 successful pregnancies. And it's awesome! Though, it can be less exciting for the big news if the player can already tell if the sim is pregnant or not right after the woohooing by her actions. It's so predictable when it's so successful, so in a weird way I hope I'll get not as fertile Sims in the future so it surprising when a couple of mine can't conceive. It'd be something different for me to experience :/


    It's kinda devastating for me when my Sims can't conceive. :s Since I'm playing with multiple household, it's worse if I can't get them conceive before the end of the rotation cycle since I can only try for baby in the next cycle so they won't gave birth when I'm playing with a different household. :#

    You have such a big household. It's pretty impressive to taking care such big family. Perhaps, it's going to be a trait that even the offsprings are fertile too. But who knows, if their spouses are not. ;)

    I'm so sorry that it's possible you won't be playing as that couple when they give birth. But I hope they can eventually have a baby. But if not, you could adopt in Sims 4.

    Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if all the kids are well fertile too. XD

Maybe more things that affect gender in everyday life so it's less controllable unless you put in a lot of effort or just nothing that affects gender. Or maybe some person you have to visit and pay money to to give your baby the gender you want, although that's a little creepy.

They start out always in a crib unless being played with by parents, once skills are high enough they can leave the crib themselves and basically become toddlers as we know them currently. The life stage would be longer than 1 week. Babies currently are just so boring and pointless so this would give parents a reason to interact with the babies so they gain skills. I think it would be way more fun.

    Love these ideas, especially making it more realistic with things like premature and late births, plus i think it will also open the younger generations eyes and minds to these sorts of things happening

    Haha, I think I am technically part of the younger generation, but yes I agree.
