I've never had this happen before. In my legacy household it's the heir (Marina), her husband (Gavin), her brother (Oliver) and two dogs. Oliver was invited out on a date to a restaurant late last sim night. While he was on the date I was admiring how cute the whole situation was. I glanced down to the household panel and noticed Gavin was tense. I clicked on him. He had a tense moodlet that said this:Conception Tension (From Trying for Baby)If a Sim hates children, they're bound to be a little tense about a potential pregnancy. Gavin has the 'hates children' trait. I seldom play that trait but he's a randomly generated townie. Does this mean Marina is pregnant? I'm so confused- I didn't know sims in your household could automously try for a baby. I wasn't able to switch back to her and have her take a pregnancy test because my (real life) dog tried to tear things up. The anticipation is intense. Has this ever happened to you before?

I've had it happen once. What I thought was an ordinary hot tub woohoo, turned out to make one of them pregnant. I didn't check their action queue, because I was focused on other things, I wasn't paying attention to them at all. So I just let them carry on. Guess they decided to try for a baby instead? I have no clue. They ended up with twin girls as well.

Well now I'm curious to see if she is pregnant :p

No, but that sounds like fun. I don't use the 'hates children' trait because I don't hate children. I know of no one in my life who hates children, in fact.

@PninaSimmerWe need this update dear :D

She was not pregnant thankfully. I have risky woohoo on 2% so it must have been that. But some other crazy things happened that same sim day... Her husband left her for her brother! So now she is divorced.

Never had it happen so far. I think I remember at least one spontaneous woohoo when I let a very flirty couple do whatever they wanted.

Are you using MCCC? If so, how are your settings set for risky woohoo and try for a baby?

Hates children trait don't necessarily keep a household/couple from adopting a child or for that matter having risky woohoo or try for a baby from personal experience. I have a game in my saves where the couple both hates kids and non-committal but had MCCC settings set at autonomous try for a baby and risky woohoo setting set at a realistic setting they had triplets. I think its a random thing. I think that that the probability is lower when you have non-commital and or hates children traits though it doesn't keep a couple from having kids be it because you made your sims try for a baby or it was autonomous.

Please keep us up to date on whether she is pregnant or not. I hope she is :D

If you have MCCC, then maybe you have the option of autonomous woohoo enabled or so ^^

Found this thread while searching to see if this had happened to others. I have absolutely no mods installed (newish to Sims) but my Sims have twice now Tried For Baby on their own and gotten pregnant. Both times I thought they were just woohooing on their own, and thought "Ohhh that's so sweet," and then was horrified to find out my Sim self was preggers. They have a great relationship, my husband is Flirty and they both would frequently get the Try for Baby whim. First time this happened I went back to an earlier save, this time it occurred to me I can play it out in an alternate timeline.
