For any player who searches the forums and decides to necro this old thread again in the future:
When the game released, there was no way to determine gender without a mod. It was a 50/50 chance each pregnancy. However, currently:
Strawberries and/or listening to Pop music for girls.
Carrots and/or listening to Alternative music for boys.
I specifically added the word listening because the sim needs to actively listen to that music rather than have it playing in the background.
Btw, this is the OFFICIAL way. It was added in a patch by The Sims Team. None of the other alternatives work, unless you're using a mod specifically for it.
EDIT: to add the first few lines as a clarification and a pop of colour :)
