Try for baby problem

My female sim can woohoo with a person but everytime I get her to try for a baby she starts this nervous ask and then gets rejected everytime. Again, she asks to woohoo and they'll go for it everytime but won't try for a baby. Both the green sand pink bars are high. She's in good spirits. He's in a good mood. I don't get it. Help please?

  • @Pyrophuria I have moved your post from The Sims Mobile board to The Sims 4 which I believe it's the game you are asking about.

    Since I had a similar issue some months ago, I'm going to tell you how I solved it. My Sim was not able to get pregnant because that option was disabled under Custom Gender Settings. You can find this menu when you open CAS.

    I think the option to Try For Baby is not present if the gender settings say the sim can't impregnate/be impregnated, also considering the other sim's settings. If your male sim is rejecting the Try For Baby advances in game I am inclined to ask if he has the trait Hates Children. If it is an issue, like they are resetting etc, it is something else.

  • @Pyrophuria Their relationship needs to be over a certain point. Make sure they are high enough. Keep working on it. Do more friendship and romance options to get the bar higher.
  • @Pyrophuria Certain character traits will give issues when trying for a baby. For instance when your Sim hates children or when they are non committal. So please check if one of your Sims has these traits. Certain mods will also give issues when trying for a baby. 

    May be you could shed some light on their traits and if you use any mods. Thanks in advance.

  • @Pyrophuria Hi!  I guess I'll throw one more suggestion in the ring. 🙂  I recently had an issue with "try for baby".  I discovered my sims didn't get the option until they had their "first kiss".  Maybe you could check for that also?

  • I am playing on PS4 and my sims can woohoo in every object,(ie bed, shower, hot tub, sauna,) but when I select the Try For Baby interaction on any of these objects the sims do this weird  animation and get an embarrassed moodlet. Even with the relationship bar  full, this glitch continues to happen. I have tried to Try For Baby with sims outside of the household and both my male and female sims get rejected no matter what.

    @Dxnnxll1030 Is your household full already?

    What are the traits of the rejecting sims?

    Edit: I've merged your post into the thread discussing this issue. A lot of helpful ideas are in this thread already that you can read through.

    I've seen this in my game but my sim was asking a non-committal sim to try for a baby and was rejected. I do think this may be part of the trait revamp.

    No my household isn’t full, i even split up the household just to contain the two sims. Still had issues with the interaction. They both had the non-comittal trait and i changed it and it worked thank you.
