No option for 'Try for a Baby' (Ghost)

My sims can't try for a baby. I only have a husband and wife (the wife is a ghost). I've never had a sim and a ghost sim have a baby, so I thought why not try something that I've never done before. There's no option when I clock on the bed nor the shower, only to Woo-Hoo. I've turned off the cheats.

Please don't ask me about the cc or mods because I don't know what cc means nor anything with NPCs. Plus, the wife was adopted as a baby along with her brothers and sister. And, the husband is from a pre-existing family.

I moved her out along with her now husband. They had twin girls from pregnancy. I went back to her siblings to work on them since they all went to college. All three siblings got a phone call saying the wife has passed away. I have noticed that when I was on her sister's page and looking at the family tree, I noticed the wife had twin boys that I didn't know about. I went back to her and the husband's household to play and the twin boys are not in the household. Since my two sims can't have children, I've been having my sim adopt kids.

    Female ghosts can't have babies.  Nor can a male ghost father one on a living sim.  So, that is why the Try for Baby option is not there.  It's just the way the game works.

    Hope this helps.

  • I'm not quite sure how people can have ghost babies unless it was in the other sims games, such as Sims 3.

    Afaik, there is no way for ghost babies to exist in TS4.  The only way it could even be possible is via a mod and I don't know of any mods that do that.  I've never seen or heard of it either.  Babies are not really sims, they are objects so it would be difficult to do, if it could be done at all.  And toddlers also can't be ghosts except by mod since they can't die normally.  Children and older can die and be ghosts though.

    In TS2, it was the same way.  Only children and older could be ghosts.  I don't know about TS3 as I didn't play that.

    Hope this helps.

  • My sims mom died, then got pregnant and had a baby. I have no mods or CC and the family tree now has a baby brother
