    Hi @heyyitscourtney2,

    Is there any chance those sims have custom gender settings? Keep in mind that one of the sims needs to be able to become pregnant while the other needs to be able to get others pregnant for them to be able to try for a baby.

Hi @LeneyD - did you check the other solutions in this thread? 

  • Remove mods & cc.
  • Check custom gender settings of both sims. One has to be able to be impregnated & one has to be able to impregnate
  • Young Adult or Adult; teens & elders can't get pregnant
  • No one in the household pregnant, including pets, that could put the household up to 8 sims. Remember it's possible to have triplets
  • If the house they're in was from the gallery, try moving to a different house that came with the game
  • Try clicking on all combinations - is the option there from one sim but not the other? Do you get the option if you click on the bed? Other places (bush, rocket ship, waterfall depending on what's available in your game)

Can they woohoo on the bed? What if you try another bed? Do they have an existing romantic relationship? Can other sims in the household try for baby with anyone? 

If it is still an issue after checking all of this, reply back & tell us what happened.

    I have this issue too. I only get the wohoo option. One of the sims is an npc and I cannot edit him in cas nor can I even see what his gender settings are. Maybe I have to send her out cheating. She has the fertile trait and they are both adult. There are 3 cats and no kids in the household. My sim has try for baby as a whim. The npc is Morgyn Ember. Her father is Father Winter. I only pair my sims up with npc partners it seems. ☹️

      Hi @Vildra - Morgyn Ember is a pre-built sage Sim. You should be able to see him in Manage Households - if you play him (move him to "My Households") you can take him to CAS.

      It appears that Morgyn is built with custom gender settings including using female clothing options, and not being able to impregnate or be impregnated. If you want to change those settings, you would need to edit in CAS full edit mode.

      1. Press "Ctrl + Shift + C" to bring up the cheat console
      2. Enter "testingcheats on" (without the quotation marks)
      3. Enter "cas.fulleditmode" (without the quotation marks)
      4. Edit in CAS as you like
      5. Enter "testingcheats off" and then close the console window by pressing "Ctrl + Shift + C" again

      More info about cheats and using them can be found in Carl's Guide. Happy Simming!

        Yes and thanks. I found out that is the case from another sims player. I chose to adopt instead. I changed his outfits but I couldn't even see his gender settings.
