So what exactly are the chances of a sim getting pregnant by woohoo and not try for baby? It has happened to me twice unexpectedly, and on families that I don't want to have a baby yet because I'm trying to advance them in careers. Also do aliens increase the chance of this happening?

It should be zero unless you have a mod.

5% using good quality protection (which is expected of sims) or if your sim uses baaaad quality protection 75% as stated by Astro:"Astro;13559876" wrote:The protection broke.But your sims must've used the second option (it happens)

regular woohoo does not lead to pregnancy. You must have accidently clicked on try for a baby.

Actually it has always had a low percent that it could happen and does in Sims 3 and Sims 4 in the main neighborhood. The only times there is zero percent with your sims - except with native Sims in the area in Sims 3 was in WA worlds, and the University for all sims. Those are the only places I have seen in Sims 3 the protect is 100 percent for playable sims - - but look out in WA as it seems if you get too friendly and I just mean friendly - if you use the time machine to go in the future - you may end up having a child that is yours from one of the WA worlds. I know I have a male that now has 3 kids who came out of the time machine - one from each of those 3 worlds - their moms were just sims my sim befriended to get info from to do with the tombs and the jobs he was doing for those who sent him to get things in the tombs. He never once even kissed any of those ladies, but they did hug sometimes when he'd come back - so those hugs are explosive I guess. On the other end - though going to those worlds with a spouse seemed to be harder to get pregnant as I sometimes sent honeymooners there and every actual try for baby always failed - and accidental pregnancy was zero percent ironically with a spouse. It was also zero percent for try for baby or accidental while staying at Uni also.I have heard there is a low percent in all woohoo in sims 4 - but the precentage goes up drastically when you try for baby. Because I don't want any of those poof babies - I do not allow my sims any woohoo - seeing knowing my luck because i want NO part of those object babies that poof into 10 year olds - my sims would be the ones having them accidently - so forget it - my sims are all celebant monks and nuns.The only time my Sims 4 had any woohoo was during the woohoo challenge I married the guy I made for the camping gp to the female parkranger as they were BF's and the only sims in my entire game that had an inkling of a chance to have woohoo - I just wanted to try and help everyone get the free hairs and such so I did my part - but just one of the 3 days of the challenge as sure enough these sims finally ended up with that poof baby - so I had to shut off aging to keep the devils spawn from poofing into a kid. I quit playing after that and have not played since. But yeah it is very possible but does take a while. Stay away from woohoo challenges LOL - I guess.ETA I don't use CC or mods in Sims 3 or Sims 4. I do have CC in sims 2 but just skins and eyes and a few face plates. I also have CEP and Simpe for fixing broken sims or doing my own recolors just for my sims 2 though. Sims 3 I own the store completely - so never had a need for more content - and I can color anything in the game so did not need any tools either. As for Sims 4 as long as a game is getting constant patches I do not like all the hoop jumping putting in CC and mods and taking out constantly with every patch or breaking the game - so if I ever do get mods or CC for Sims 4 it will be well after the game is done getting patches. That is if i ever play Sims 4 again. Right now I am enjoying playing my style with whole families and legacies in Sims 2 and 3.... and no devil spawn poof babies!!!!!The Sims 2 does not seem to have any pregnancies with regular woohoo - so if you want to avoid it you can always play sims 2 instead. My sims in sims 2 have lots of romance and no babies unless I have them try for them.

The accidental pregnancy was supposed to be in TS4 but then they supposedly took it out. When did these accidental pregnancies happen? Maybe they reintroduced it in a patch and we didn't realize it. I know a lot of people were disappointed when it was taken out, me included. I think its a fun addition as surprise babies do happen in real life too.

They happened before the latest patch I think... around April 20.

On the one hand, unintended (using the term "accidental" can be kinda touchy for some people...) pregnancies are very much realistic and something that I kinda like. On the other hand, I can see people really not being into it. If there were some way for Sims to give babies up for adoption (which is something I have wanted in The Sims games for yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars), I'd be super down for it. But as it stands, I can understand people getting upset.

Cool, maybe they added it back in. I know people were disappointed that they left it out

What about risky woohoo at TS3 with nraas woohooer?
A mod added a new gameplay or unlocked something coded at game?

Now about TS4, if want return to life simulation, woohoo must have a chance of pregnancy, unless have both options try for baby and woohoo mean than woohoo is with protection

PD: maybe comment over T rating, but you know...

I agree. It should have a slight chance of a surprise baby when your sims woohoo. Its that way in real life, even if all proper precautions are taken

They'd better patch in a way to relinquish them for adoption!

You could always just age the child up right away then use Manage Households to move the child in with another household. I had a Sim who had a fling with Eliza Pancakes, and she gave birth to a baby boy right before she aged up to an Elder. I didn't want to lose the kid if he was still a child when both Bob and Eliza died, so I used Manage Households to move him in with his aunt and her family.

For my sims was during the woohoo challenge in February. I absolutely did not want any poof babies - so it sort of peeved me it happened, as I normally am not allowing any woohooing period or romancing - but was foolish enough to try the challenge to try and help everyone get some free stuff.

I have not had any woohooing of any kind in my game since. As it is I had to turn off aging so that poof baby does not poof into a 10 year old. i am hardly playing Sims 4 at all now. But my daughter - in -law also claims she has had at least 2 accidental pregnancies in her game just since the last game update. She is a very cautious player so there is no way she hit the wrong button as she does not like children in her game at all in Sims 4. She doesn't want families in Sims 4 without toddlers. So it is still happening.

JUst so you know - neither of us use any mods or CC, so it is happening due to game design and not because of mods.

This. I reeeeeaaaaallllly don't like unintended pregnancies being in the game because...well, it's not appropriate here, but let's just say it's how I came into being and that didn't turn out so well.

@leo3487
Um ok since your post I'm not sure how appropriate it was for theese forums I deleted all of it except the bit I wanted to quote. I apologise if this is a little innapropiate for the forums but eh I'll try to write it as appropriately as I can.
So try for baby is purposefully using no means to prevent pregnancy. However, woohoo has a chance as in real life, means to prevent pregnancy can not work. Usually they do so explanation. Woohoo and try for baby ain't the same with different labels so it is realistic to have a small chance with woohoo. But i think it's like 0.019% chance or something tiny like that.
YES I KNOW THE BIT I QUOTED WAS THE WORST PART BUT EH IF YOU THINK MY POST ISNT APPROPIATE FOR THE FORUMS PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN A COMMENT TO @emmaning AND ILL DELETE THIS COMMENT FOR YOU

It has been confirmed by the SimGurus that Woohoo can't lead to pregnancy. So woohoo pregnancy is either a misclick, a bug or a mod, but it's not a feature.

If people are having this bug, they should make a thread reporting it. People always want to complain about bugs but they never want to report them.
