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 boysMy sims's first child is ALWAYS a boy. The second one might be a girl, if I'm lucky, but there's a higher chance that it'll be another boy. I've been playing for a year and I haven't had ONE family have a girl first, not one. The only way I've managed to trick the game into giving them a girl child is if - for example - the father already has a son from another relationship, his next one with a different mother will be a girl.It's reached a point where I have way more boys in my game than girls. Is it the food they're eating or the music that's playing? I made a pregnant Sim constantly listen to pop and it made no difference, she still had a boy. :(

There is a "cheat" you can use to supposedly have girls. You eat strawberries and listen to pop music. Carrots and alternative music for boys. I have no idea if this is simply Sim Urban Myth or if it actually works because I have never really cared what the gender of my Sims babies are. Or you could just use MCCC and choose the gender of your baby to female if you really want your sim to have a girl instead of a boy and you can decide how many babies your sim will have too. I let my sims use autonomous try for a baby and am often amused by the outcome. Even when they breed plentifully. Maybe a little too plentifully some might say.

I know the music and fruit is true I tested it with one of my families. The games mechanics is very simply when determining if the next gender is going to be a boy or girl it counts how many girls and guys are in the game and uses that as a reference point for what the higher percentage is. If there is more girls in the population the higher chance is a boy, if there is more boys in the population the higher chance is a girl. If the game is near the cull stage, the game will produce boys because boys can't have kids, except with aliens.

My sims predominantly have girls. I mean, I'm okay with that, as I mostly like to play with girls as my main sims.

It's not a cheat, it's an in-game feature to let players, that don't use mods or cheats, influence what their sim will have. Some challenges outlaw it, as they want the gender to be random, but it is a legit in-game feature. And, it does work. At one time, it didn't work with MCCC installed, but I think that issue was fixed and it's now working even with the mod again.

Another thing I’ve found; do you have more female sims than male? I had this problem going back a few months ago and it was because of a decline in the male population in my game.

I'm having a lot of baby boys recently. If I want I girl, I always have to have the mother-to-be eat strawberrys. I don't even remember when I last had a baby girl without that.

This is something that always happened on my game, my primary sim has 11 childrens consisted of multiple twins, triplet and a single child, only 3 of which are females, he also has 2 other brothers and no sister, and 2 male cousins.

What did you let the mother cook and eat during pregnancy? Some recipes consider carrots as one of the main ingredient and if you allow the mother to eat those recipes then most likely she will have a boy.

It's a mix with my saves. In one save, my Sims have both boys and girls. But in another save, all 4 kids my main family has had are all boys.

It's especially annoying if you're playing rotational and need roughly the same amount of boys and girls for every new generation.

Check your other townie households and stuff in manage worlds. If there are more male Sims in your game then new babies will be mostly generated as female and if you have mostly female in your game the new Sims babies will be generated as most of male to try and balance things out unless you use the cheats.

If you are mostly getting boy babies, I would try deleting a couple households of female Sims that are in the world that you aren't playing with. This will probably help

Usually I get a pretty even split but lately that has changed. I have a 100 baby challenge running, luckily the matriarch is a vampire because she has just had 2 sets of twins and a set of triplets in a row, all boys. I started another save and that sim is having triplets, all boys.

Just so you are aware, there is a rule that the matriarch is not allowed to be a vampire in the hundred baby challenge. Of course you're always welcome to just play it as you want to anyways I'm just letting you know in case you wanted to use the official rules.

There are rules for occults where you can use an occult for a matriarch

All my sims in every save I have right now that have kids (5 total with kids) have boys and that’s it. One I cheated and changed the gender in CAS after they aged to a toddler because I was so irritated by this. It feels like in my game it’s honestly a glitch and I can’t have girls. I’m trying a 100 baby challenge and part of it is to test this theory. Only just have two twins right now in that save and both boys. But we shall see. Something is off with my randomizer though with gender, that is just weird. Mine isn’t a maybe I’ll have a girl it’s always a boy.
