Having a baby, boy or girl

In my previous saves I had all boys. This time I had my female Sim do the Try for Baby initiating, and ended up with a girl (first one born in game). I'm going to have the male initiate next time and see what happens. B)

Interesting. Please post once you do, curious to see if that leads to something.

As far as we know, there is no specific food, like in previous games, that forces a certain gender. Despite this, it's been found out that gender is determined at the moment of conception (WooHoo), so if you are unhappy with the result you'll need to return to a save before the WooHoo took place. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I might be getting confused.)

Nope you got it right. I tried the exit to main menu thing, and reloading a game where the woman was just going to go into labor. That game, I wanted a girl born first, did it 12 times, every time was a boy. So I concluded the gender was decided at conception.

I unexpectedly had twin boys. but I have had both gender.

I wanted girls for my Legacy, so I tried going into buy mode and buying a pink baby cradle before my Sim gave birth. When I got the notification that she was in labor, I clicked the crib and chose "have baby". She had a girl! She had 3 girls this way. When her first born aged up and I got her pregnant, I wanted to continue with the girl Legacy, so I bought another pink crib and she had a girl as well! Then, just to test, when she got pregnant again, I bought a blue crib, and sure enough she had a boy! I haven't tested the yellow and green cribs yet. Maybe I'll get twins? Or triplets?? :-D

Heh. Your title makes me think, "yes, I do hope your baby is a boy or a girl." ;)

You can't choose whether it's a boy or a girl but after the baby grows up into a child you can change the gender by entering the "testing cheats true" and then the "cas.fulleditmode" cheats into the cheat box (by pressing ctrl+shift+c) and then click on the child while pressing down shift and then you can modify them in create a sim and change their gender from there!

Is it possible to force a baby girl or a baby boy in the Sims 4? Or is it possible to change the sex by exiting to the main menu until you get what you want?

I don't think it's possible, but there is a mod/cheat to change genders.

When do you put the crib out? Before woohoo, during pregnancy, during labor? Have you figured out what yellow does and if the person initiating try for baby is still determining the gender? Thank :)

I heard that if you have you have a baby from midnight to when the sun rises, you have a girl, and during the day a boy. I never tested that, I almost don't have babies!

I like how it is, that way my sims are like RL, and get what they get. There are families in
RL with all boys or girls. So it makes it very interesting, and family's with 5 boys and 1 girl, or 3 girls and 1 boy. So I like it how it is.
