How to Have a Baby?

How can a Sims game be complete without a baby? Nope -- it's just impossible really. That said, how do you actually get to have a baby in this game anyway? The video guide below will show you exactly the step-by-step procedure in order to get you and your partner a baby!

Take note though that in order to do everything that was done in the video, you'll have to prepare several stuff ahead which themselves might take quite a while to actually do in the game. Prior to actually purchasing the "Bassinet" required in bringing in a baby to your home, you'll have to accomplish the following:

1. Get into a Relationship

First things first. To even get anywhere near having a baby in the game, you must at least be at Player Level 11 to unlock all the stuff related to the baby event. Additionally, you must have friends or a partner whose at least be in a Level 3 relationship (which you'll need to act as the co-parent/partner for the baby -- no weddings required!).

2. Setup a Bassinet (the content of the video above)

What you'll need next is to procure a bassinet (Stork's Visit Bassinet) from your Catalog (click the catalog button, then the go to the "buy tab" (third icon), and from there, find the "Babies and Kids" collection. A bassinet would set you back some 580 Simoleons and 10 Home Tickets.

Tip: You can pick the baby's gender when you choose to adopt a baby. However, if you are having a kid with a partner in the game (by woohoo'ing), it will generate a random gender for the baby.

3. Enjoy Your new Baby!

Babies aren't disposable in the game, once you have them, you'll have to stick with them even if you retire your parent sim. Nonetheless, how can you get rid of these cuties anyway? If you're up to the task, you can also continue to nurture and interact with the baby in order to unlock the "Good Upbringing" trait of the baby sim -- which will give you an upper hand in dealing with events!

Hope this helps!
