Sims having all boy babies?
I have MC Command Center and I've checked all the settings and see nothing to cause this... My female sim keeps having boy babies it's like her 5th boy baby in a row. I'm doing the 100 baby challe...

I've had 7 boys in a row followed by 6 girls and then a boy and another girl. I think it's normal to have streaks of one gender.
If it's 50/50, yes -- perfectly normal. If someone were to flip a quarter a hundred times and write down the results of each flip, they'd see long weird streaks.
Yeah. I went ahead and calculated the exact probability using Wolfram Alpha’s Bernoulli Trials. Assuming gender is not influenced, if you Sim had 100 babies, the chance of having n boys a row happening at least once:
3 boys in a row: 99.97%
4 boys in a row: 97.27%
5 boys in a row: 81.01%
6 boys in a row: 54.61%
7 boys in a row: 31.75%
8 boys in a row: 17.02%
9 boys in a row: 8.76%
10 boys in a row: 4.41%
So if 100 players are doing 100 baby challenge, on average more than 54 players would experience 6 boys in a row, which means it’s absolutely nothing special. Even 10 boys in a row would be on average experienced by 4 players, which is still not that rare.
