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.

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

Thanks, but my townies are completely balanced. I have just as much female as male townies.

2 possibilites; you were not lucky or this is a bug, have you used any script mods?

I'm using a script mod for the game to always start pause and a second one to allow for miscarriages. The first one surely istn't the culprit. I'm not so sure about the second one, though. I will take it out for a while and see whether that helps.

Thanks for your suggestion, @gustavowizard.

I realised into my game my sim had apples in their inventory and was using them to cook fruit salads, french toast etc.

Try removing any fruits from inventories and fridges and also getting rid of TV and radio, just to see if that helps!

The genders of my sim's kids seems to be pretty balanced, but I have noticed that whenever I have twins, they tend to always be the same gender.

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.

I've been wondering this. It didn't occur to me at all until I had a chef and a gardener in one household. I didn't consider ingredients to count towards it - just raw foods straight off the plant or out of the fridge!
