Sims only having boys

Since Royalty & Legacy has come out, my Sims have had a total of 18 babies. 16 of them have been boys. I do not have them listen to music or eat carrots/strawberries. Statistically, this is a 1 in 2,000 chance. I've seen other people recently complain about the same thing happening in other Sims-focused groups online. Maybe I am just extraordinarily unlucky, but it's persistent enough that I figured it's worth mentioning.

    I don't have the pack, only but bugs from the update, lol.  I've finished one save and started a new one, and out of 41 or 42 families, three of them have had girls.  I'd agree that something is at play with gender distribution, as even using MCCC to balance it hasn't helped.

  • hotsawyer​ Displaced_Salad​  I've been playing the game since the beginning, and I've seen what you have going on several times in my game.  Idk for sure, but it seems to me is that the game does this when there is a large imbalance between the sexes.  Too many girls, the game makes boys, too many boys, the game makes girls.  So, take a look with MCCC and run a population report and see how many boys and girls you have atm.  I'd bet that you have a bunch more girls in the game than boys.  Another thing I see a lot is it seems that certain sims seem to be prone to having only boys or only girls and not only have I seen it in one save, but in multiple saves with the same sim.  I've not seen any changes in this behavior recently.  Atm, my game has been giving me more girls than boys btw.

    Hope this helps.

    Ah, there is a bit of a discrepancy I see! Not too big, but a discrepancy none the less. I've never run a population log before, thanks for suggesting it.
