I've had twins quite often in my game, but never when my sim gives birth at the hospital. The last time a sim gave birth in my game, I was sure it was going to be more than one, because her baby bump was so much larger than the last time she was pregnant. But she only had one, and it got me wondering - would it had been more than one if I had her give birth at home instead? Is it normal that the size of the stomach is different from pregnancy to pregnancy on the same sim?Please let me know if you have any reliable info about different sizes of baby bumps on the same sim, does it not always indicate that they are having multiples when it's larger than normal?And please share it you've had sims give birth to twins or triplets at the hospital, because I can't find any evidence that it's possible.

The size of the bump doesn't define the number of babies, it defines on the body shape of the sims.The reason it may be "bigger" than the last pregnancy is that your sim could possibly have gain more weight than before.

My sim gave birth to twins at the hospital. I also noticed her stomach look huges but thought it was Sims 4 since I haven't really played since September last year.

I've had twins at the hospital. Not sure if bump size is any indication since I've had sims with very large bumps have single births...

All my births have been at the hospital and I have had twins and triplets with several different couples, as far as baby bumps I think it is random.....I really never paid attention to their size.

Thank you all for the answers! It's good to know that it's actually possible to have multiples in the hospital, because I really started wondering.

I've only had twins once, and those were the result of an alien abduction, but they were delivered at the hospital. Then there was a baby that was born at home, which was a single one, and another single one which was also born at the hospital, so it seems to be quite random in my game.

I think I’ve read something about this back when I first came on here, actually! From what I’ve heard from others (it’s been ages since I saw the discussion so I could have gotten information mixed up), it depends on the body mass sliders in CAS and how quickly your sims put on weight in a non-pregnant state.

Sims with a history of putting on weight quickly will likely end up having a smaller tummy during pregnancy whilst more lean sims are more likely to have bigger tummies. However, keep in mind that sometimes it can be random depending on the sim, if they’ve been pregnant before and how many babies they’re having.

Here are 5 examples of pregnancies I’ve had in my game.
• Kallie Patel: Always thin, pregnant 3 times, small tummy for the first, big tummy for the other two.
• Tiffani Bacon: Always thin, pregnant once with triplets, big tummy.
• Emma Bacon: Always thin, pregnant once, smaller tummy.
• Zoe Patel: Average weight, pregnant once, small tummy.
• Lara Morrissey: Always thin, pregnant twice, big tummy for the first, small tummy for the second.

Pregnancy can vary so much! It’s almost never the same!

Every pregnancy is different! That's a reality in RL, same person and all. I carried one of my three children practically up in my rib cage! The other two, the first and the last, felt like I carried them in my hips. So, since this iteration has done a much better job on pregnancies, they got this correct. Also, my own daughter is carrying twins at the moment. I thought she was telling me much later in her pregnancy, than she is. Yeah, she's got quite the tummy going already at not quite seven weeks, when she gave me the news. That was nearly two weeks ago. She's also suffering from morning sickness much sooner and harsher. The woman should know, she's had five daughters, so far. Needless to say, we're hoping for at least one boy out of the two.

As to your question, I thought I had it all figured out, game-wise. My Sim seemed to have a larger tummy and I thought, ah-ha! twins! I was wrong. She just was bigger this time. Must be too many little cakes! So, no there's no real indicator that I have found. I'm dying to know if others have found something. I'm all eyes. :)
