Gay Parent Options.

@tomchan0 Just thought I'd throw this idea out there: Go into Manage housholds/CaS with your sim's love interest. Use the play with genetics tool go create a brother for her. You select "Play with genetics" and set the relationship to be that lady sim's brother. Then you make him her twin brother.
I just went and experimented with Bella Goth doing this and I can't post pics, but the likeness was definitely there.

Then you have the twin brother be the "donor" for your try for baby. Now your sim is pregnant and the child has genetics from both families.

I am playing with a single female. She is outgoing and throws a bunch of parties. I had no intention of her being in any relationship at this point. Alas, she had other thoughts. I found her flirting with another female. They are so cute together and I went with it. My problem being later I really want her to pass her genetics off. I'm not much for cheating....so.

I really wish there was an option for artificial insemination....or surrogacy for male gay partners.

On TS3 Into the Future you can travel to future with your mate and make a baby at the hospital:)
Hope that helps... at least on the previous version:)

I think I'm going to do this. I really want the whole pregnancy experience, but this is the next best thing. Thank you.

I did this when I played Sims 3. It was a cool option.

I don't like cheating in the game as well but in this case... I'd turn one of them into a man, go for a baby and then change the male back into a female. If you can't beat them join them :#

I likee ..... :)

You could study the genetics, adopt a child, and perhaps edit it to look related to her? :\ If you used default options to make the Sim it might not be that hard.

I think if you put in "testingcheats on" and then "cas.fulleditmode", you can temporarily make her partner a man. Then have them try for baby, and once your sim gets pregnant, you can turn her partner back into a woman.

So, I came to this late, I usually do. I'm not much on commenting but this one is near and dear to me. I agree that EA has a lot of issues surrounding their sims games now. They don't seem to get the whole picture and that the LGBT community does not rely on adoption for their children any longer. Lesbians opt for IVF or inseminations, Guys opt for sarrogacy, some do still opt to adopt, giving an unwanted or orphaned child a home. Any of these is good and if you don't want to use cheats you will have to go with either her woo hooing with some guy, or adoption. Even changing her partner to male is cheating. Good luck with it though and for the record I use babies for everyone because I think it is really cute to watch them have their own children too.

If you go into Manage Households, edit the desired family, click add a sim through the genetic mod, you can have two men or two women be the parents, I've done this a few times now.

I didn't realise you could do this with same sex couples!
Being part of one myself, I think this is really cool :)
