10. Instant Morning Sickness
Check out this video for an overview of the Instant Morning Sickness mod!
The Instant Morning Sickness mod is perfect for the realistic “surprise” you get after becoming pregnant. This mod removed the moodlet that warns you that your sim is about to be sick. It does make the pregnancy a little more difficult by not knowing when your sim is getting sick or why they are (until the pregnancy becomes more obvious). Overall, it is a good mod for getting a realistic feeling from the game.
How the mod makes things more fun!
- Gives a realistic pregnancy feeling by never knowing when you are going to have morning sickness
- The random morning sickness does also give a surprise to the user that their sim is pregnant (unless you take a pregnancy test that is)

9. Bad Parent Trait
Check out this video for an overview of the Bad Parent Trait mod!
The Bad Parent Trait mod reverses the moodlets that would typically come about when your precious bundle of joy is born. This mod makes one or both of the parents happy when they (or their partner) are not pregnant or angry when the baby is born. It gives a different take on what normally happens in the game and gives the user more flexibility to play on how they are feeling.
How the mod makes things more fun!
- Creates a different aspect to the game where not everyone wants to have children
- Can give an interesting problem to be solved when one parent sim is happy they or their partner wasn’t pregnant and the other is sad

7. Shorter/Longer Pregnancy Mod
Check out this video for an overview of the Shorter/Longer Pregnancy mod!
The Shorter/Longer Pregnancy mod is pretty self-explanatory. It allows the user to lengthen or quickly end their sims pregnancy.

How the mod makes things more fun!
- Let’s you choose when your sims have their baby, so your sims can be completely ready
- Choose to make your sims pregnancy longer to continue getting the maternity leave and increase your sims skill levels

6. Risky Woohoo
Check out this video for an overview of the Risky Woohoo mod!
The Risky Woohoo mod gives you either an extremely fertile sim or a complete infertile sim. If you get an extremely fertile sim it opens options to who your sim can woohoo with (including ghosts) and how likely they are to have a baby with those sims.
How the mod makes things more fun!
- Ties together well with the previously discussed mod Instant Morning Sickness to have the surprise of becoming pregnant

Along with the Risky Woohoo and Instant Morning Sickness mods, the Ultrasound mod adds to the surprise of the baby journey your Sim is on.

4. Slice of Life
Check out this video for an overview of the Slice of Life mod!
The Slice of Life mod is a simple mod that allows your Sim to have thoughts for themselves. It gives more moodlets on top of the normal ones that are in the base game.

How the mod makes things more fun!
- Gives a more immersive and realistic experience for the user
- Overall, it just makes the other pregnancy mods seem more realistic and works well with them

There are also a few additional decorations and interactive items that unlock with this mod as well.
How the mod makes things more fun!

2. Baby Skins
Check out this video for an overview of the Baby Skins mod!
As you may have noticed all babies in the base game look the same until they age up to a toddler. The Baby Skins mod changes that from one preset to three different ones. There is a lighter-skinned baby, a medium olive skin, and a darker-skinned baby! This is nice so they can resemble the parents. There are a few other “upgrades” for your baby as well.
How the mod makes things more fun!
- Have the baby resemble the parents
- You can choose a more realistic look with a little bit of hair and eye color that is more noticeable when holding the baby

1. Cribs and No Cribs
Check out this video for an overview of the Cribs and No Cribs mods!
The Cribs and No Cribs mod allows you to switch the basic crib that is in the base game to a crib (and changing table) you can download separately. An invisible crib comes with the mod, which needs to be placed before having the baby. After placing the baby there you can move them (just like any other movable object) into the downloaded crib or anywhere else.
How the mod makes things more fun!
- Gives you more of an interactive experience with the baby instead of standing over its crib
- Lets you put the baby almost anywhere in your home, including your bed, on the floor, or even on a counter if you would like
