Sims Keep Having Boys
I've had this problem for a couple months, but in every save I play, when my sims have kids they have boys disproportionately more than they have girls. No matter what, they always have a son first, ...

I did know about the strawberries and pop music and that has worked for me in the past, but I like playing sims legacies and I know it's silly but I try not to influence the gender that way. Thank you for the suggestion though!
@AnneSims34 Ooooh! I'm dumb. I misread your OP, sorry! I have a sim family getting ready to try for some babies. I have influenced for boys a couple times and this time I planned to influence for a girl. Now I'm curious to see which gender the game chooses without any strawberries or carrots or music. If my sims also have only boys, I'll come back and add myself to your list! Also, it's not silly to like what you like. :-) And I totally get it, I also like to just see how things play out. It's frustrating, though, if the game is slanted a certain way disproportionately, as you said.
Alternative music also influences for boys so if your sims tend to listen to that, you could be accidentally creating more boys that way too. I usually remove radios when my sim is pregnant to prevent them from listening to something that might influence the gender one way. Sims tend to have favorite genres of music so it can happen!
Although, saying that, I have now realized that my game tends to produce more girls among npcs (I use mcc to have the world repopulate) despite having it set to 50/50....
@ValFreya13 Good point about the accidental listening! Sims are so sneaky sometimes; doing stuff I don't want them to without me realizing. Nice avatar, by the way. ;-)
