My Sims always have boys!
Is it disproportionate in anyone else's game or just mine? It's like a pattern, and whenever it breaks the pattern, it always leans towards boys My sims's first child is ALWAYS a boy. The second on...

Babies can have gene rerolls during pregnancy which changes the baby's outcome (boy, girl, mom's hair, dad's hair, eyes, twins, etc). If you change your sims or household changes within that time, the baby's outcome rerolls.
Here's a basic scenario as an example:
Basically the moment your sim finds out they're pregnant, these changes can cause gene rerolls. Since there's a 50% chance of having a boy or girl, constant rerolls can basically leave the chances up in the air. Adding gender inducers (strawberries/carrots or pop/rock) really do help change it. However, if a household goes through another change, it also changes the reroll.
So if we rewind the scenario a little bit and have Sim A eating strawberries and listening to pop, the roll would change to a baby girl. But If afterward, she dyes her hair black for a party that would change the reroll to a dark-haired boy.
Here's a basic scenario as an example:
- A sim couple(not married) becomes pregnant. Sim A (blonde hair and pregnant) lives with their parents and sibling, while Sim B (redhair) lives alone. The child is expected to be a blonde baby girl.
- Sim A's sibling moves out of the house. (Baby reroll #1 redhair boy)
- Sim B proposes to Sim A and moves in with them and their parents. (Baby reroll #2 blonde boy)
- The family makes changes to the house (build mode) to prepare for the baby (Baby reroll #3 redhair girl)
- Sim A's mother passes away (Baby reroll #4 twins: redhair boy, blonde girl)
- Sim B adopts a puppy (Baby reroll #5: blonde girl)
- Sim A dyes their hair brown (Baby reroll #6 twin brunette boys)
- Sim A gives birth to two brunette boys
