Sims 4: How to Get a Baby Boy

by

Here’s a full guide that will walk you through the steps to have a baby boy in The Sims 4.

Increase Baby Boy Chances in The Sims 4

1. Eating Carrots

One of the most reliable ways to increase the chances of having a baby boy in The Sims 4 is by having your pregnant Sim eat carrots. You can find carrots in various locations, such as:

  • Gardens and Parks: Search for carrot plants in public spaces.
  • Grocery Stores: Purchase carrots directly if you have expansion packs that include grocery shopping.
  • Planting and Harvesting: Grow your own carrots by planting carrot seeds in your Sim’s garden.

To ensure the best results, make sure your Sim eats multiple carrots throughout the pregnancy.

2. Listening to Alternative Music

Another effective method is to have your pregnant Sim listen to alternative music. You can do this by:

  • Using a Stereo: Select the “Listen to Alternative” option on any stereo in the game.
  • Headphones: If you have the “Fitness Stuff” pack, use the earbuds to listen to alternative music on the go.

Keep the alternative music playing regularly to maximize your chances of having a baby boy.

For the best results, combine both methods: have your pregnant Sim eat carrots and listen to alternative music simultaneously. This dual approach significantly increases the likelihood of having a baby boy.

Cheating and Using Mods to Get a Baby Boy

If you prefer a more direct method, you can use cheats to select your baby’s gender. Here’s how:

  1. Enable Cheats:
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the cheat console.
    • Type testingcheats true and press Enter.
  2. Choose Baby Gender:
    • If your Sim is already pregnant, type cas.fulleditmode and press Enter.
    • Shift-click on the pregnant Sim and select “Modify in CAS.”
    • In the Create-a-Sim (CAS) screen, you can choose the gender of the unborn baby.

Or you can download and install the fantastic mod, MC Command Center. It has a host of features including cheats and ways to switch up any sim on the fly.

By following these tips and tricks, you can increase the chances of having a baby boy in The Sims 4.
