Hi everyone :) I've been playing my sims family for a while (Currently in 5th generation) and I came across a problem (or bug? Idk). My sim is pregnant and I have saved the game a few hours before she gives birth. The thing is, she only gives birth to baby boy. I exited the game without saving and played again multiple times, I fed her strawberries, made her listen to pop music and etc, but the result remains the same. I've already had a lot of boys in the previous generations, I wanna have a girl already. I never actually had a problem with this on different families, until now. Can I fix this somehow?Thanks!

You might have saved too close to her giving birth for the strawberries and pop music to work. Worse case scenerio, take the kid into cas as a toddler and change them to a girl.

Actually @SimsInHogwarts I've noticed my sims mostly giving birth to boys as well despite feeding them strawberries. I thought maybe I didn't give them enough. Now I'm kinda wondering if others have experienced something similar to us .. ?

Hmmmmmm that is strange! I've never had any issues with this either before. But usually 1-2 strawberries max did the trick shortly before birth. How many did your brother feed them? Maybe there's a magic number xD

I don't know either, it's like they're boy-sessed! :( Plus, the worst of it is that my sims do not only love to have boys lately, oh no, they all need twin boys. So I have to go and populate the world with toddler girls cause otherwise, all the twins have no one to marry xD

How can I make my sim give birth to a baby girl?

I thought about it as well. But I've done it before, and the gender eventually changed when she went into labor. Thank you anyway! :)

Could be, although I've read that this always works. Also my brother who plays another family in town fed his sim strawberries and had a baby girl with the first try. Idk what's wrong honestly, I've been trying for like an hour and I am getting frustrated :lol:

You can always change it in MCCC if you want to go the cheaty, mod route. You can set the gender and the amount of babies you want her to have too.

Oh wow, now that might be a problem after a while ?
However, I am happy to announce that after an hour of trying, she finally gave birth to a baby girl! I almost couldn't believe it :blush:

Thank you, although I wouldn't really prefer that since I'm afraid it will ruin my game (I even use mods with caution). The problem got fixed now anyway, so I'm pretty glad about it! :blush:
