If this number is 100 or more, you are guaranteed that they will try for baby, as the “random rolled” number can only be 100 or lower.

You can also manually set an “ideal number of kids” for each sim if you want to (ideal family adj), which will give the odds a boost until that number of kids has been achieved.Īll of this combines into the total chance that the couple will try for a baby. How many kids they already have and how old those kids are also factors into it (kids adj). If one is family (+20) and one is romance (-20) it evens out to 0. If both parents are family sims you get + 40. I think the rest are neutral, not sure about pleasure sims. The aspirations of the parents are taken into account (asp adj) - a family sim will give a boost to the odds, while romance and fortune sims lower the odds. Different things can raise or lower the odds. The first roll is to see whether the sims will want to try for baby or just have regular woohoo - that’s the “trying to try for baby” box.

This is what goes on in the background to determine whether a sim will try for baby and whether they’ll get pregnant with ACR - the dialog to show the odds can be turned on in the options. It’s a feature of ACR 2.0, in case you didn’t know.
