Be Careful Who You Woohoo and How, Too.
Just thought I'd share a recent mishap in my game because it added some element of surprise and fun, which mixed things up a bit. So to understand my style, I play somewhat rotationally, bouncing ...

Most—not all, but the vast majority—of my Sims were born in wedlock to parents who love each other and their kids. I had a...let's say less than ideal childhood, and as such my save is a moral, orderly, and generally kind world full of decent, "god"-fearing people.
It's the edge cases that are a whole lot more fun.
For starters, death-by-woohoo is my favorite way to dispose of elder sims. What a way to go out, right? They get to the Pearly Gates, St. Peter says "welcome to heaven", and the new arrival says "man, I was already here."
The kicker is that the old men tend to go out by impregnating premades whose marriage I want to have a bit of cruel fun with. Nancy Landgraab's had a kid that way, forcing Geoff to raise a kid that's not his own, and better to let Eliza Pancakes have a kid with someone other than Bob, right?
And then there's a case of the Koivonen Kids! I created a sim, Simo Koivonen, a tribute to a couple of Finnish war heroes (Simo Hayha and Aimo Koivunen—yeah, I misspelled the latter's name, didn't feel like going back and changing it in-game), and had him Try For Baby with any female NPC who happened to walk by in the neighborhood. I've raised up 3 of the 9 kids fully, bouncing around from household to household with story progression turned off so I can focus on one family at a time. The other 6 will get theirs...before 2022 (this project started in November.)
Simo is dead now; he died of freezing in a malfunctioning shower in the middle of a heatwave, and the glitch was so funny that I let it stand. Appaently I'm just vice God in my game's universe; the game itself is the true supreme being! Weirdly, he bore a startling resemblance to YouTuber Steve1989MREInfo, the Bob Ross of military rations; this was unintentional but hilarious when I noticed and realized. Let's get this out onto a tray. Nice!
Try For Baby is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for evil.
