There are three main steps in this game to have a baby: preparing for the birth of the baby, labor, and mood swings. After the baby is born, you can age up the Sim and help it reach toddlerhood. By doing this, you will be able to increase your relationship bar with the other Sims. It is also important to remember that having a baby will give you more time to prepare for the responsibilities of caring for a toddler.

Preparing for a baby

When a Sim is pregnant, she will receive a bright orange notification letting her know that a baby is on its way. While the Sim will be uncomfortable during this time, you can do whatever you want to help her give birth. When the baby is born, your Sim will spawn in a bassinet. You can then name the baby and give it up to two traits. During this time, your Sim will need to spend some time in the hospital, so it will be good to prepare accordingly.

It’s a good idea to feed your baby regularly until he wets his pants. This will prevent your Sim from having a bad day because he is deprived of food. Also, it is important to feed the baby at night, because they don’t sleep very well if they don’t get enough food. You can use your food mixer to make your baby food, but you’re better off buying baby food from Generations. Taking care of your baby’s nutrition will be a key part of his or her development in The Sims 3.

Labor

The ‘Pregnant’ moodlet is a prerequisite for labour, and will last for at least 24 hours. There is no set time for labour, but the game will let you know when you are nine centimeters dilated. If your Sim is not equipped with an epidural, you can use the CC yoga ball to induce labour. It comes with custom animations and can be placed anywhere in the hospital.

If your Sim is more comfortable with the c-section procedure, you can try it out before giving birth. If you’re already 10 centimetres dilated, you can request an epidural on any exam bed. The epidural takes a few minutes to take effect, and moodlets will appear when the treatment is taking effect. Once your Sim is dilated, you can then ask a close friend to attend your birth and help you.

Mood swings

Mood swings in the Sims 3 are real, and you’ll definitely notice them at some point. One way to combat them is to give your baby the attention it needs. A teddy bear can help your baby feel better by giving them extra lifetime rewards. Mood swings will also make it more difficult to choose traits for your new baby if your Sim is feeling down.

Getting pregnant requires your Sim to interact near an object that will make her conceive. When she is close to this object, she will be considered alluring, flirty, and irresistible. Once your Sim has reached the third stage of attraction, she will be able to give birth to a child. If the baby is a girl, she will get morning sickness. It can take up to a day or more before the baby is born, but this does not stop a female Sim from being pregnant.

Adoption

Sims 3 players can adopt children from other households. The adoption process happens through a computer on your home lot. You can buy a computer under the Electronics category, or from Objects By Room. When you begin the adoption process, Buy/Build mode is disabled for a little while, so that you can purchase activities for the child. Once the adoption is completed, you can choose to adopt another child, or wait until your Sims grow up to get one.

You can adopt a pet through a variety of means, including using your computer or mobile device. You can adopt a puppy or kitten, or even an adult dog. Pets can have traits that vary between breeds. There is also a new way to customize the look of your pet. The new pet will be different from the one you have adopted before. You can also customize the appearance of the pet by changing its skin.
