I would love to have more realism in the game. So many of the packs and kits, that keep popping up are all fantasy driven. We have so much fantasy. We have vampires, werewolves, mermaids, fairies, gh...

I can see how some of that could be an issue so some people. I’m not wanting it to be super graphic or anything. That’s not what I’m asking for. And I definitely don’t want to trigger anyone. Even if we get rid of the “pregnancy issues” altogether, that’s fine. I can live without that. I just think if we had periods with period symptoms like cramping, dizziness, headaches or lightheadedness. Random little symptoms that you get during a period could be easily put into the game. Changing how the sims get pregnant by making it more realistic could be easily put into the game. Increasing and decreasing the chances of getting pregnant based off the woman’s cycle. Adding the options for birth control. I think that would be a huge improvement. Having Sims “try for baby” and immediately getting pregnant is just so predictable and boring. We can keep pregnancy light and fun like you said. Adding some mood swings and fun food cravings would be a fun way to make the game more interesting. Again right now it’s just so boring. They get pregnant, three days later they have a baby. Nothing happens. But again, this is just my opinion. I would love to get something like this without having to rely on Mods. But I understand if it’s too much for some.
If you played sims long enough then you know that sims can get dizzy or sick or feel unwell on occasion. You get them to drink some medicine, or orange juice, or healthy tea and what not. Would I want that to happen more often and particularly for female sims? Not particularly, especially as not all females experience the same period symptoms. As someone who has had period issues since my early twenties due to a bad thyroid, I have no interest in managing my Sims' periods or period issues. Tired of managing my own, thank you very much. Might be interested in weird pregnancy cravings as they can add a bit of challenge if you wish to fulfill. But in all seriousness, pregnancy in sims is just three days, not sure it really needs to be more interesting as you barely have time to be bored of it. Maybe if they extended it to three seasons then I could see the point of making it more eventful. Even so you could still arrange for some pregnancy photo shoot, baby room decoration, baby shower, etc. It's possible to make those three days interesting with current gameplay options. Woohoo is the birth control option, if you don't want a baby right away you can use that option. With the try for baby, I don't think they always get pregnant on first try, but I'm not sure why you'd want to add that kind of disappointment into the game where you try for baby and it doesn't happen.
