The Sims 4 might not be the perfect life simulator, but it gets pretty darn close - especially with how it handles pregnancy. Your Sims stories need to continue on, and the only way to do that is your Sims getting pregnant and carrying on their legacy.

It's not just a simple case of engaging in WooHoo - there's pregnancy odds to consider, genders, twins and triplets, where to give birth, as well as considering adoption.
The Sims 4 introduced the franchise's first Custom Gender Settings. Accessible under the gender selection tab in Create-A-Sim, the customisation options are broken down into a few different categories, including pregnancy options.
However, since Teens can't access the 'Try for Baby' interaction, their pregnancy options are passive until they age up to Young Adulthood; while in practice Elders can't get pregnant even if they possess the 'Become Pregnant' ability.
Initiating a pregnancy in The Sims 4 is opt-in rather than opt-out. Regular WooHoo never results in pregnancy, and Sims who are hoping to start a family in this way need to use the 'Try for Baby' option instead.
Extreme success will be met with a child being instantly added to the family; meanwhile, a moderate success will grant the 'Try For Baby' Flirty moodlet. Using the 'Try for Baby' interaction while this moodlet is active will guarantee a pregnancy.
All stages of pregnancy feature subtle but important changes in the pregnant Sim's physical needs. Their Hunger need will deplete more rapidly than usual, and their Bladder and Energy needs also run down a lot quicker.
An occult pregnancy works more or less like any other in The Sims 4, except that there's a chance of the baby(ies) inheriting their parents' interesting conditions. There are no hybrid creature types in The Sims 4, so in couples of different creature types, each parent has a 50/50 chance of passing on their occult trait to their offspring.
To clear things up: if, for example, a female alien (with the 'Can get pregnant' setting) and a male human Sim (with the 'Can get others pregnant' setting) decide to 'Try for Baby' together, the female alien will be the birth parent, as in any other pregnancy that was initiated in this way.
Say you want your Sim to have a baby that's their biological offspring, but don't want to wait three or four in-game days and deal with the hassle of pregnancy. The following cheat allows you to skip straight to labour once your Sim is confirmed pregnant (i.e. has the 'Eating for Two' moodlet).
Alternatively, if you just want to skip a little way (or even roll back the clock on the pregnancy for whatever reason), instead of 'Inlabor' type 'Trimester#', replacing '#' with a number '1', '2', or '3', to set the appropriate pregnancy moodlet for whichever trimester you choose.
Pregnancy was introduced as a game feature in The Sims 2, and has appeared in each subsequent game. Prior to The Sims 2, kissing or playing in bed[TS:LL] were the only interactions that could result in two Sims having a child - and the player could usually say yes or no to that. If the player said "yes", or was not given that option, a baby would immediately appear, forgoing any pregnancy period.
Under normal circumstances, only female Sims can become pregnant. However, in The Sims 2 and in The Sims 4: Get to Work, male Sims can be impregnated as well, either through alien abduction or by the use of cheats. In The Sims 3: Seasons, male Sims can experience a sort of pseudo-pregnancy as the result of alien abduction. In The Sims 4, as of patch 34, a Sim's ability to get pregnant or get others pregnant can be set with the optional Customize Gender menu in CAS, regardless of the Sim's gender.
To get a Sim pregnant, the two partners must "Try for Baby". When trying for a baby, there is a possibility that the Sim will not get pregnant, but if she does, the player will hear a lullaby song or jingle; signaling a successful conception.[TS2][TS3] In The Sims 4, the lullaby song was removed, and Sims can use the pregnancy test on the toilet for a cost of 15.
In The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, if a pregnant Sim goes on vacation before starting to show or becomes pregnant while on vacation, the pregnancy will be suspended until after they return home. The Sim may, however, experience morning sickness when on the rental or hotel lot, especially on a longer vacation.
In The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure, Sims have the option to try for a baby with Selvadoradian locals, provided they have a high enough relationship. If a local is impregnated, they will give birth normally and the related household will be notified. However, like all other townie births, newborns will immediately age up into infants as they have no home for a bassinet to be placed in. If someone in a playable household is impregnated by a Selvadoradian, they cannot give birth while on vacation, but their pregnancy will progress normally after they return home.
Pregnancies last 75 Sim hours in The Sims 2 and 72 Sim hours in The Sims 3 though it's common to refer to pregnancies as lasting 3 days in both games. In The Sims 4, pregnancies can last up to 3 days. In The Sims FreePlay, pregnancies last approximately 216 hours (9 days). The Sims 2 has cheats which can be used to reduce the gestation period to a mere 2 hours of Sim time. The lifespan setting in The Sims 3 does not normally affect the duration of a pregnancy.
In The Sims 4, the player can have the prospective mother do a pregnancy test after trying for a baby. This is done by selecting the action at the toilet. If the Sim is pregnant, a "First Trimester" moodlet will appear, and will last 24 hours. If a pregnancy test is not done, the Sim will appear pregnant around 24 hours after conception.
The second trimester lasts one day. At some point in the day, the pregnant Sim will attract the player's attention and change appearance. Their abdomen will expand and they will begin to wear maternity clothing.[TS2][TS3][2] In The Sims 3, the bulge is nearly non-existent at first, but progressively grows larger. If the pregnant Sim has a job, they will be placed on maternity leave, and the carpool will not appear. In The Sims 2, however, a pregnant Sim who has access to a car can drive to work. In The Sims 2, the Sim will be paid for these leave days even if they fall on one of their days off. Also, in The Sims 2, calling a Sim who is on maternity leave during his or her work hours will still result in the "(Sim) is working" messages, and a Sim who "brings a friend" home from work may bring a pregnant Sim. There will be new social interactions, "Rub Belly" and "Talk to Belly" [TS2]; "Feel Tummy", "Listen to Tummy", and "Talk to Tummy", and the pregnant Sim may "Ask to Feel Tummy".[TS3][TS4] The pregnant Sim and father can announce the pregnancy to others.[TS3][TS4]
In The Sims 2, a Sim at this point will no longer be able to do yoga or work out in front of a stereo, but will be able to work out in front of a television. The Sim may be able to use some types of exercise equipment, but will not be able to use all types. The combined effects of pregnancy and working out will be hard on the Sim's motives, but this does not appear to pose any other risk. A pregnant Sim will be able to swim, but will be unable to use a diving board or pool slide.
On the last day of the pregnancy the Sim will attract the viewer once again and go into 'labor'. This is an autonomous action and all Sims on the lot or nearby will be drawn to the Sim to 'panic' (This includes the Grim Reaper if he is on the lot.) In The Sims 3 and in The Sims 4, the pregnant Sim can be taken to the hospital when clicked on while in labor, or they can stay at home, and have a safe and comfortable birth. The advantages of giving birth at the hospital are that the baby's bassinet will be provided free of charge and all of the pregnant Sim's motives will be replenished. If the Sim is sent to the hospital in the Get to Work expansion pack, the player must decide whether the birth will be an on-screen or an off-screen birth.
After the birth of the baby (or babies), the player will then be able to name them. In The Sims 3, depending on how happy the mother was during her pregnancy, the player might be able to choose both traits for the baby, just one, or none at all.
Every pregnancy has a low chance of producing natural twins. Most Sims have about a 10% chance of having twins, however, with the Super Fertility[TS2:FT] aspiration benefit, it's about 50%. This is decided at the moment of conception, so, unlike gender and genetics, exiting and reloading the lot will not change the number of babies born. However, with the Open for Business expansion pack for The Sims 2, EA did include a "forcetwins" cheat; using it when a pregnant Sim is selected will result in that Sim having twins. If a pregnant Sim eats cheesecake, also added in Open for Business, they will have twins, as if the "forcetwins" cheat had been used while they were selected. This is different from what is stated in the Prima guide for Open for Business; the guide states that eating cheesecake while pregnant increases the chance of twins, not that it ensures them.
Miscarriage per se does not occur in The Sims 2, but if a pregnant Sim dies, the baby will effectively be lost, as in the case of Olivia Monty's unborn baby. Family members will not get a memory of losing the baby, only the Sim who died. If the pregnant Sim is resurrected, their pregnancy will continue as normal. The only exception to this is Olivia Monty, who lacks a pregnancy token and merely has the appearance of being pregnant.
The player may also choose an option known as "End Pregnancy" which will stop the pregnancy completely, meaning that the Sim will lose the baby but will have no emotional distress or memories of losing the baby.
