More multiple birth options: Why not make being a sim parent harder?!

This would purely be challenge-based, or for those who just enjoy a giggle at their sims downfall after a one-night plum leading to 4/5/6 babies coming into the world and making their careers/goals all that harder to reach, unless you have the family aspiration, of course.

When I was confident enough to trust/use mods, extreme multiple births were my sims ultimate battle or my only way to get a girl/boy in a pre-set birth family where only the opposite gender was coded to be born.

Now, I'm much more careful and prefer not to use mods (Despite how amazing they can be), to make my game more exciting. Vanilla all the way, especially after the sims 2 mods disaster of 2007 which took the lives of many of my dad's home-built computers. those were the days.

Not asking for ridiculously large births, at most, maybe 5/6, AT MOST, 7 would be too much and 8 would over-stretch the house limit, and probably make my sim jump off a cliff.

This could easily be a patch, maybe with special cribs, big announcements, support from the community/council (I dunno, who do we pay our bills to in the sims 4?) and a few other pieces to keep our home running as soundly as one can.

Yes, there are mods, challenges, easy ways to get around this in Cas, but I'm not looking for a get-around or mods, no offence to the modders out there, I used to be one myself, learnt the hard lesson and I am now extremely afraid of killing my gaming systems, as anyone else would be after taking out....3.....4? (I'm so sorry, dad) computers in a stretch of 2-ish years (I downloaded A LOT of mods as a kid).

So, yeah, bigger multiple births, not a huge ask, would be appreciated and fun to see how Sims handle.


Have a nice day everyone and keep the comments friendly, peace!

  • Not what you want to hear, feel free to ignore, but...

    I was playing vanilla but I finally broke down and installed MCCC. It does quite a lot, including what you’re looking for, but I got it to wipe out autonomous actions that made me not want to play the game anymore. It’s the most commonly referenced mod I’ve seen Simmers talk about, and updates are made swiftly, so that convinced me that I would not suffer too long without it due to its reputation. I don’t know how a mod destroys computers and I have to say I’ve never heard that before. I’ve feared losing game files in the past due to mods, so I always make a backup before changes like this. Just my thoughts for what it’s worth.
  • I was thinking about this recently and I definitely want higher multiple births as well. I'd like sims to be able to have quads, quints, and sextuplets. Hopefully if they decide to overhaul the babies, they'll add this as a pregnancy update as well.
