How to Have the Perfect Pregnancy in The Sims 3

In The Sims 3, having a perfect pregnancy gives you the ability to choose two traits for your baby, which will affect what kind of person they are for the rest of their life. A less than perfect pregnancy will result in one or two randomly chosen traits, which could be anything from grumpy to insane. Here are the steps to achieving the perfect pregnancy on The Sims 3.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Make sure your pregnancy sim's motives stay up. Pregnancy will make your sim's motives go down faster than they normally would, so pay special attention to your pregnant sim and keep her motives high.

2. Keep her happy. In The Sims 3, sim happiness is based around moodlets. Simply having a good night's rest or eating a nice meal will boost her happiness. Have music playing around her during the day for an extra boost.

3. Keep her wishes fulfilled. Pay attention to the wishes she'll have during pregnancy, and her partner's as well. If she's having back pain, her partner may get a wish to give her a massage. After she starts to show, her partner may also get wishes to talk, rub, or listen to her belly. They both may wish to buy things for the baby, read pregnancy books, etc. Sometimes she may wish to eat something in particular - pay attention to these wishes, she's having cravings for a reason. Fulfilling your pregnant sim's wishes will also give her a "fulfilled" moodlet that will boost her happiness.

4. Go to the hospital and ask for medical advice. It costs a few hundred simoleons to do this, but it's well worth it.

5. Read pregnancy books. The more your sim knows about her pregnancy the better, and most of the time this will even appear as one of your sim's wishes. You can buy pregnancy books at the local bookstore.

6. If you have the simoleons to spare, take her to the day spa and buy her a spa package. This will keep her stress free for quite a while, adding a moodlet and boosting her happiness for a number of days depending on how much money you spend.

7. Once it comes time to have the baby, make sure you go to the hospital to have the baby. Soon after the new parents will come out of the hospital with their child, and a screen will come up announcing the gender of the baby and how many of the two traits you will get to pick. If you had a perfect pregnancy, you'll be able to choose both traits.
