I have saved before birth and got something different.

Perfect, exactly what I needed! I'll have to try it.

I read things like 'if your sim eats strawberries during pregnancy they're more likely to have a girl' and 'if they watch the children's TV channel they're more likely to have twins' etc, I don't know whether or not these are definitely true but I have always assumed the gender was decided at birth depending on things like this? Don't quote me on this though :joy:

I've definitely heard of this for real life, so it would be an amazing detail if it were included in the Sims. Sorry I quoted you against your request hehe :smiley:

It was definitely a thing for Sims 3 (It was Watermelons for girls and Apples for boys and the kid's station on the radio or TV for multiples). For Sims 4 I don't know if it's ever actually been confirmed by gurus but supposedly there's food options (Strawberries for girls and I believe carrots maybe for boys) but also if your sims listen to Alternative you're more likely to get a boy and Pop more likely to get a girl. But they need to actually be listening to it not just have it on in the background. I've heard the TV thing for multiples but I'm not sure about it.
