2. Collect 1 blackberry, 1 dust spirit, 2 false morels, and 3 morel mushrooms to brew the Elixir of Fertility.
3. Consume the elixir and choose the “Try for Baby” interaction with another Sim.

2. Click the house icon in the upper left-hand corner to open the trait menu.
   
3. Select the “On Ley-Line” trait. You can only have up to 3 traits at a time.

1. Achieve Level 9 Wellness.
2. Get the Fertility Massage.
3. Choose the “Try for Baby” interaction within the first 12 hours after the massage.

FAQ

Now that you know how to raise your chances of getting twins in Sims 4, you may have some questions left. Read this section to find answers to some of the most common questions related to pregnancy in Sims 4.

How do pregnancy odds work in Sims 4?

Without the use of cheats, the odds of getting pregnant after the “Try for Baby” interaction are 80%. This means that in most cases, a Sim will get pregnant after the first or second attempt. However, if you use any of the tips that increase the chance of getting twins, the odds of getting pregnant from the first attempt grow to 100%. If you don’t use any rewards and traits to increase your Sim fertility, the odds of getting one baby are 89%, twins – 10%, and triplets 1%. The exact increase in odds of getting multiple babies when using fertility rewards is unknown. Only cheats give a 100% guarantee of getting twins.

How do you have a baby in Sims 4?

The “WooHoo” interaction doesn’t get your Sim pregnant – you need to use the “Try for Baby” interaction. The interaction becomes possible on a certain relationship level. However, if you have reached the limit of Sims in a household, you won’t be able to conceive until one of your Sims dies. You can also use cheats to get pregnant instantly.u003cbru003eu003cimg class=u0022wp-image-203186u0022 style=u0022width: 500pxu0022 src=u0022https://www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Twins-in-Sims-4.jpgu0022 alt=u0022Twins in Sims 4u0022u003e

Can two female Sims have a baby in Sims 4?

Not any Sims can have a baby together – one of them needs to have the “Become pregnant” trait, and the other “Get others pregnant” trait. Therefore, by default two female Sims can’t have a baby together. This is easy to change by modifying the traits of one of them to “Get others pregnant”.

How do you have triplets in Sims 4?

If you don’t want to use cheats, the tips for getting triplets are exactly the same as for getting twins. However, the odds are lower. You can use a cheat to guarantee having triplets – simply type in “3” instead of “2” in the end.

How do you influence gender to have a boy or a girl in Sims 4?

Foods and music can influence the gender of your Sim’s baby. To increase the odds of having a girl, eat strawberries and listen to pop music. To have a boy, eat carrots and listen to alternative music. If you have two pregnant Sims in the same room and don’t want to influence the gender of other Sim’s baby, listen to music in earbuds.
