In The Sims 4, giving birth to a baby is lacking in detailed features. This is true even after you purchase the Get Together pack that adds hospitals.
Thankfully, a modder in the Sims community has made a realistic and in-depth mod for pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum care. Here's how to get it.
What is the Realistic Birth Mod for The Sims 4?
The Child Birth Mod by PandaSama is a realistic pregnancy and birth-giving mod for The Sims 4. It adds multiple components to the game's existing child delivery features (that requires the Get to Work expansion pack). Some of the features included in this mod are:
- Checking for dilation amount.
- More complex moodlets through pregnancy and birth.
- Induce labor through various means like Woohoo or bathing.
- Early labor actions like deep-breathing exercises or being comforted by a partner.
- Epidural administered by a doctor to reduce pain of the Sim.
- Customization around pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum.
- Turn on/off weight gain after delivery.
- Choose whether or not Woohoo will induce labor.
- Decide to wear normal clothing or not during delivery.
