Too Many Boy Babies...

[Sein]

Just a quick Q which I'm sure someone has asked before...
 
everytime I have a child now-a-days, it seems as though they are ALWAYS male! I've tried exiting the house and redoing the birth to get a girl and I've also had the father initiating the wohoo (in case it is chosen that way, which it probably isn't)
 
I'm wondering if there is hack interference or if this is just natural. I'm so tired of boys!

Gender of the child is determined at birth by the game.  I can't say if it's random or if there's some logic the game uses to determine the gender.  But I know it's not possible for any mod to influence it.

ok, thanks. I just wanted to make sure that wasn't the case.

Most of my sims babies are boys too. I hate that!!!

I seem to have runs of all boys, then my game will decide to have all girls! At the moment i have an influx of boys!

You can use the FFS Lot Debugger to reseed the random number generator.  This has shown to help the "genetic ruts" that the game seems prone to.

I'll give it a try.

I have the same problem! Or is it the seasons inteen? Because it didn't happen before! Mij 7 boys (!!!!) Are having kids now, and they all get girls. So seven sons, and fourteen girl grandchildren! So annoying...

The easiest way around that is to save your lot just before the sim gives birth and reload it until you get the gender you want.

Ya but thats annoying lol. Anytime Don Lothario gets a female pregnant in my game its always boys. Does anyone get a lot of twins in their game? Because I do and I dont make my females exercise or eat spaghetti, cookies, or cheesake during ther pregnancy. I have loads of twins and they are ALWAYS boy and girl. I dont have any hacks that would cause this either

[caffeinated.joy]

Sure, it's annoying, Diva, but it's the only way around the problem if you want to guarantee yourself a girl or a boy. In all honesty, I've never had to save and re-enter the lot more than twice to get the gender I want.

Twins are random.  Though supposedly, twins have a better chance of having twins.

You could check the pregnancy status with the Insim reproductive adjuster and if the sim is expecting twins, you can change it to a single one instead.

BTW, exercise, cookies and spaghetti are all myths, it does not raise the chances of twins at all.  The sure thing affecting sims to get twins is cheesecake or if you manually do the twin cheat available for people that have OFB and up.

The thing i have found with my sims is that if they try for a baby and are unsuccessful several times, then when they do eventually get pregnant they have twins, my twins are mostly boy/girl twins.

i heard somewhere it is because u already have too many girls in lot or neiborhood, i forget which. Not sure if it is true.

I've had a similar event happen.  I was trying to get another sims family of mine to have a girl... saved the game and everything just in case, but no matter how many times I exited and re-entered the lot, the baby always came out a boy.  I counted... I did that a total of 24 times before I just gave up, aborted the pregnancy, used the InSIMenator to get my sim mom pregnant again, and sped up the pregnancy.  On the first try I ended up with a girl... :shock:  Don't know if the new Seasons patches had anything to do with the sudden change, but that has never happened to me before until now.  :?
