Sims 4 pregnancy cheats
Updated 10 pregnancy cheats
Type sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_inlabor to start labor now, or use a trimester buff to skip ahead. Each stage is a buff.
The five you'll want
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandsims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_inlabor | What it doesSends a pregnant Sim into labor on the spot. | Notes | |
Commandsims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester3 | What it doesJumps the pregnancy to the third trimester. | Notes | |
Commandsims.get_sim_id_by_name <First> <Last> | What it doesPrints the Sim ID for the offspring count. | Notes | |
Commandpregnancy.force_offspring_count <SimID> <number> | What it doesSets how many babies are born. 2 for twins, 3 for triplets. | Notes | |
Commandsims.remove_all_buffs | What it doesClears the buffs carrying the pregnancy, and every other moodlet. | Notes |
Every pregnancy cheat
Move a pregnancy along
Each buff jumps the selected Sim to that stage, and labor is the last one.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandsims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester1 | What it doesPuts the Sim in the first trimester. | Notes | |
Commandsims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester2 | What it doesMoves the pregnancy to the second trimester. | Notes | |
Commandsims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_trimester3 | What it doesMoves the pregnancy to the third trimester. | Notes | |
Commandsims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_inlabor | What it doesSends the Sim into labor straight away. | NotesThe Sim has to be pregnant already. This is the one EA documents for skipping the wait. |
Twins, triplets and more
Forcing the number of babies takes two commands: look up the Sim ID, then set the count.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandsims.get_sim_id_by_name <First> <Last> | What it doesPrints the pregnant Sim's numeric ID in the console. | NotesType the first and last name exactly as they appear in the game, separated by a space. | |
Commandpregnancy.force_offspring_count <SimID> <number> | What it doesSets how many babies the current pregnancy produces. | NotesThe Sim has to be pregnant when you run it. EA lists only the money and Build mode cheats as working without testingcheats true, so switch cheats on first. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait Fertile | What it doesGives the Sim the Fertile reward trait, which raises the natural chance of twins. | NotesIt only changes the odds, so an existing pregnancy may still produce one baby. |
End a pregnancy
There's no cancel command, so you clear the buffs that carry the pregnancy instead.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandsims.remove_all_buffs | What it doesClears every buff on the selected Sim, including the pregnancy buffs. | NotesEA's guide prints a version of this with pregnancy_in labor as an argument, but the space inside that argument would end the command early, so use the plain form. It also clears every other moodlet the Sim is carrying. |
Grim Reaper babies
With Life & Death, a baby with the Grim Reaper carries the Grimborn trait, whatever the Create a Sim pregnancy setting says.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait Grimborn | What it doesGives a Sim the Grimborn trait: the scythe birthmark and a longer life, as though the Grim Reaper were a parent. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait GrimDescendant | What it doesGives a Sim the Grim Descendant trait, which is what a child of a Grimborn Sim gets. It carries neither the birthmark nor the extended lifespan. | Notes |
The relationship cheat sets the romance bar beforehand.
Grim Reaper babies
With Life & Death installed, a Sim can try for a baby with the Grim Reaper. The child is born with the Grimborn trait: a scythe birthmark and a longer life than an ordinary Sim.
EA notes that young adults and adults can become pregnant from that interaction whatever pregnancy setting they were given in Create a Sim.
You can hand out both traits directly. traits.equip_trait Grimborn gives the birthmark and the lifespan, and traits.equip_trait GrimDescendant gives the trait a child of a Grimborn Sim inherits, which carries neither. For a vampire or werewolf parent instead, see occult cheats.
If a pregnancy cheat does nothing
- Cheats are off. Type
testingcheats trueand wait for the confirmation. - The Sim isn't pregnant. Trimester and labor buffs need a pregnancy to act on.
- The wrong Sim is selected. Click the pregnant Sim's portrait, then open the console.
- The buff name is misspelled. It's
buff_pregnancy_inlabor, one word, American spelling. - The offspring count used an old Sim ID. Look it up again with
sims.get_sim_id_by_name. - If none of these fits, try Sims 4 cheats not working, which starts with the likeliest causes.
Twins and triplets
- 1
Start from a pregnant Sim
The count only works on an existing pregnancy.
- 2
Look up the Sim ID
sims.get_sim_id_by_name Bella Gothprints a long number. - 3
Set the number
Run
pregnancy.force_offspring_countwith that ID and the number of babies.
Where this one comes from
EA's own pregnancy guide and SnootySims both list pregnancy.force_offspring_count, so we're more sure of this one than most.
End a pregnancy
- There's no cancel command.
sims.remove_all_buffsclears the pregnancy buffs.
The longer version EA prints
EA's pregnancy guide gives this command with pregnancy_in labor as an argument. That form has a space inside the argument, which would end the command early.
It's almost certainly a typo in EA's guide, so use the plain command.
The baby's gender
- We couldn't confirm a gender command anywhere reliable.
- Change it after birth with
cas.fulleditmode.
What UI Cheats does here
Pregnancy stays on the console
- weerbesu's Sims 4 UI Cheats leaves pregnancy out, so you'll need the commands above.
What it does cover
- Right-click a moodlet and it's gone.
- Needs, relationships, traits and the age bar too.
Frequently asked questions
How do you make a Sim go into labor?
Select the pregnant Sim, open the console, and enter testingcheats true followed by sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_inlabor. Labor starts right away. It only works on a Sim who's already pregnant, since the buff doesn't start a pregnancy.
Is there a cheat for twins or triplets?
Yes. Run sims.get_sim_id_by_name First Last to get the pregnant Sim's ID, then pregnancy.force_offspring_count SimID 2 for twins or 3 for triplets. EA documents this command in its own pregnancy guide. The Fertile reward trait only raises the natural chance of twins and doesn't force them.
Is there a baby gender cheat?
We couldn't confirm a command for it, so we don't list one. You can change it after the birth instead: enter cas.fulleditmode, shift-click the Sim, and choose Modify in CAS. That opens the gender field along with the name and the rest of Create a Sim.
