Sims Freeplay | A Guide to Pregnancy

With the Pregnancy Update in June 2018 Sims Freeplay added a long awaited feature into the game - pregnancy. Previously to have a baby in Sims Freeplay we simply clicked on an empty cot, selected 'add baby' and waited 24 hours for the baby to just appear in the cot.  Things have got a whole lot more interesting with the pregnancy update so let's take a look at how pregnancy works in Sims Freeplay.

Now when you click on an empty cot there are three options - two are pregnancy related and one is the old 'add a baby' in 24 hours option where you get a baby without going through pregnancy. But who wants to do that? Let's look at the new and more interesting options of how to have a baby with pregnancy.

A great new feature that's been added is that sims no longer need to be married to have a baby. The only requirement is that your sim is an adult female.  When your sim is pregnant they have maternity leave which means they can't take part in professions, careers, hobbies or live events until the give birth.

To have a pregnant sim you need to first complete the Two and a Half Sims Quest which unlocks babies and the Bump-y Ride Discovery Quest which unlocks pregnancy. Once these have been completed you can see the three baby options when you click on a crib.

• Pregnancy Event
• Pregnancy
• Add a Baby

Pregnancy Event - a full pregnancy experience with rewards

• Takes 9 days to complete and each day represents 1 month of pregnancy
• Costs 2 LPs to begin
• There are daily goals to be completed by the pregnant sim each day of the pregnancy
• There are support tasks to be completed throughout the event by other sims
• If you complete the daily goals every day and the support tasks your new sim will earn baby bonuses - they will earn more experience points, complete actions faster, they're not affected by low needs
• If you don't manage to complete all the daily goals one day it will go straight to the next day and you won't be able to earn the baby bonus for that baby
• By completing the daily goals and support tasks you will earn maternity tokens which are used in the maternity store to buy maternity clothes and nursery furniture
• Days 1,2 and 3 are the first trimester and your pregnant sim will look like any other adult, female sim
• Days 4,5 and 6 are the second trimester and at the beginning of day 4 your sim will get a pregnancy baby bump
• Days 7,8 and 9 are the third trimester and at the beginning of day 7 the baby bump will get bigger
• You can only have one pregnancy event at a time
