Science babies a joke?

I was expecting my sim to go to a fertility clinic and come back pregnant, not disappear for a few minutes and come back with a new born :(.
I enjoy watching my pregnant sims and going to the hospital to give birth.
I'm very disappointed. I wanted to try a single mom but found the experience lacking.
  • Yeah there's a whole discussion of that here.

    If you're on PC and not adverse to using a mod you could try this.

    They probably did it that way to be gender neutral because men can't....

    since it is a rabbit hole you could imagine they are going anywhere it is a process that takes a few seconds to like a minute no need to design too much for it just realistically with other things they were working on.

    I mean, they obviously can in the Sims, because they do all the time with alien pregnancies.

    @Amapola76 a while back in the Sims 4 Ideas section I had proposed that they provide a way for Sims who don't want physically intimate partners to get pregnant. It wasn't like science babies. Basically, I was suggesting that they add IUI as a fertility option. At the time I thought this was inclusive enough because even someone who has masculine gender settings across the board can be changed in CAS to allow pregnancy. I can see how it might be interpreted as excluding men though. At the end of the day, I'm glad my asexual sims have something.

    My male sim just had a baby with a human a few days ago. :)
    My only sim who couldn’t have a baby was an elder female. I had to age her down first.
