Woohoo in The Sims 3 is the iconic romantic interaction between Sims that symbolizes intimacy. It can lead to fun, romantic memories—or sometimes a surprise pregnancy. Whether you’re new to the game or just need a refresher, here’s everything you need to know about how to Woohoo in The Sims 3.
How to Unlock the Woohoo Interaction
Before Sims can Woohoo, their relationship must reach a romantic level.
- Build a Romantic Relationship
Start with friendly or flirty interactions. Progress to romantic ones like “Flirt,” “Compliment Appearance,” and “Hold Hands.” - Reach the ‘Romantic Interest’ or ‘Partner’ status
Your Sims must be either Romantic Interests, Dating, or Married to access the Woohoo interaction. - Ensure Both Sims Are in the Right Mood
Flirty or Happy moodlets help ensure successful romantic interactions. Tired, hungry, or upset Sims might reject advances.
Woohoo Locations in The Sims 3
Sims can Woohoo in a variety of places, depending on what packs you own:
- Bed – The most common and reliable location.
- Tent – Available if you have World Adventures or University Life.
- Shower – Introduced in University Life.
- Hot Tub – Requires Late Night or Island Paradise.
- Time Machine – Found in Ambitions expansion.
- All-in-One Bathroom – Found in Into the Future.
- Treehouse – Included with the Generations expansion.
To initiate Woohoo, click on the object and choose the “Woohoo with…” interaction when your Sims are romantically eligible.
Try for Baby vs. Woohoo
If you’re not aiming for a baby, make sure to choose just “Woohoo.”
If you select “Try for Baby,” there’s a chance the female Sim will become pregnant.
You’ll know it worked if you hear a lullaby sound after the interaction.
Can Teen Sims Woohoo?
No—only Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims can Woohoo in The Sims 3. Teen Sims can flirt and date but cannot Woohoo or Try for Baby without mods.
Tips for Woohoo Success
- Have your Sims be in a private area to avoid embarrassment.
- Use mood-enhancing traits like Flirty, Hopeless Romantic, or Irresistible for better results.
- Date nights and romantic socials can help lead up to Woohoo faster.
