So, I was playing a family yesterday and go to thinking about the Sims pregnancies. I think there are a few little "tweaks" that could be made to make them a little more fun....funner...whatev. lol
Mood Swings. I think preggo sims should get mood swings. You can go from being totally happy one minute, to being sad or angry the next. Maybe something that normally wouldn't affect a sim's emotions can set them off while preggo.
Cravings. Cause, duh. Pregnant women get cravings!! If they get that craving satisfied, there could be a specific moodlet saying such.
Less predictable births. This may not be an option, I don't know how it all works, but once they hit the 3rd trimester, I think it should vary from giving birth RIGHT AWAY....to it waiting a few days. Maybe Sims could get an "Overdue" moodlet, that makes them super uncomfortable, if they have gone past their "due date".
Anyway....just a few little things I was thinking about while playing.
HAPPY SIMMING!

I was thinking the exact same thing that would be awesome.
I agree with OP especial about cravings, also i thing they should add a way of us being able to make girls and boys like in sims 3 if you eat an apple for boys or watermelon for girls.
Each pregnancy is happy news for both Sims. But I like to see the mother Sim pop the news to the father, he/she/both should have a nervousness or almost a "🐸🐸🐸🐸 am I going to do" emotion. This emotion would last for 2 days or entire trimester, affecting performance in work, social, eating...especially if the Sims is not prepared financially, not married, or just starting out. Make it more challenging and more RL.
Add also an emotion for having twins and triplets. Maybe the father passing out? And if the mother or father bails on the child(ren), some $$$ should be taken to cover support on each child.
Maybe I'm making the game too challenging.
What a great idea on the mood swings & cravings! I hope they incorporate this into the game.
My Sims pregnancies aren't that predictable. My current Sim has had 3 pregnancies & each have been different. She had morning sickness with the 1st, & morning sickness up to 2nd trimester with her 2nd, but her 3rd pregnancy she didn't have morning sickness. I've noticed too that my pregnant Sims don't give birth right away after the Labor message and the 3 hours are up. Some of mine have extended way beyond that. Maybe I have a glitch in my game LOL. I usually click the crib to 'Have Baby' just because the Labor can go on for so many hours LOL.
You would've thought that since they have emotions now that the mood swings would be included in the game.
Also like to see more interactions for when a sim is preggo, there's really only "ask due date" and "feel tummy" at the moment.
You find my sims in the gallery tagged with #SimsFairy.

now the idea is unpredictable pregnancies and mood swings
And he had the whole hog of cravings, all the way up. I kept excercising him because at first I thought he was just fat (because his pregnancy kept being overshadowed by other moods).
Actually giving birth should be more than a few seconds of straining though. Heh, maybe an option to go to the hospital and travel with somebody (like the father) should come up, not just giving birth to a whole bassinet.
There is a Pregnancy Mega Mod on ModTheSims, and I enjoy it alot.
However you probably know that by now
