I know everyone including myself is anxious to figure out what we can do to determine if a boy or girl is born. All my sims pregnancies i have had boys except for my very first game i had a girl (about 25 diff pregnancies). I was getting very frustrated, but as i thought about it i noticed that every time i had a boy i would have the mom or dad kiss, flirt, etc. before woohooing and they would either be flirty or very flirty (moods) and that would result in a boy.
I also, remembered that when i conceived the girl in my first game i didnt have my sim women flirt with the guy he was just a one night stand (clicked on the bed) and she was in the inspired mood because she had just painted. So i made a woman and a her husband and decided to test out my theory.....
My results were:
5 pregnancies they were in the flirty mood and they concieved boys each time.
1 pregnancy they were in the very flirty mood and they concieved a boy.
2 pregnancies they were inspired and they concieved girls each time.
3 pregnancies they were in the confident/very confident mood and they concieved girls each time.
This could be a wierd glitch or just luck, but if someone else wants to test it out id appreciate it! Ive only tested the flirt/very flirty and confident and inspired emotions.
(just again for a side note: im thinking emotions before trying for a baby----flirty/veryflirty= boy :::: inspired & confident/very confident= girl)
AGAIN THIS IS NOT FORSURE THING JUST A THEORY I HAVE AS OF NOW

The other house, the parents were artists, and I believe they were inspired. They had two girls.
I'll have to pay more attention to this.
Besides, that mechanic would be a hell of a lot easier to program than some bizarre emotional song-and-dance routine that would determine a child's sex.
Your probably right, but i mean it is EA were talking about...they have done some strange things in the past lol.
Unless you saved right before having the sims try for a baby and play through the pregnancy multiple times.
Even then, Probability can still raise its head and say "🐸🐸🐸🐸 noob".
Please do let me know! (: hopefully it works for you also! Awe not cool hopefully she can pop that baby out and you can try again! I was playing my favorite family and they had six boys....i didnt come up with this "idea" until after they died...but i really hope it works for you also ive had lots of luck with it!
Possibly onto something, but perhaps this is randomly reversed, depending on the save game? In my game I play in a rotation. No couple has had more than one baby yet, and so far all babies were conceived while flirty or very flirty and the babies are girls. I am now playing a family that has a brilliant musician and neither has the romantic trait, so they are going to have an easier time getting both inspired or confident and trying. I will let you know if that results in my first baby boy in my game or not. It may take some time though, as my couple is engaged but not married and they don't have enough friends for a big wedding yet. (I want a proper wedding for them before they go having babies, but they will be played exclusively until I'm able... )

Thanks for the input. Cant wait to hear your results! (: congrats to your engaged sims hope they have an amazing wedding!
Lol--my Sims were both in a flirty mood and they had a boy... I will take note on what happens next time they try for baby.
Haha i wish it was! (:
I was hoping it was fruit like in sims 3 but i tried and unfortunately not...definately take note when they try again (: would love to here your results.

This theory does make sense... Since any pregnancy I've ever had in sims 4 has been a boy, and whenever I have my sims woohoo, I get them in the mood, so it would make sense that they're always flirty when they conceive. (Which is why you'd think EA wouldn't put this in.... It's like tricking people into having mostly boys.... Usually sims would be flirty before trying for a baby, right?)
Anyways, I've somewhat tested this. Only three pregnancies. The first, the husband was very flirty, she was flirty. And it was a boy. I tried next while they were both inspired, and it was a baby girl.
My third pregnancy, I was curious what would happen if one was flirty, and the other was inspired. She was inspired, he was very flirt. The outcome was another girl. I'm wondering if the split moods give a 50/50 chance, or if it's chosen by the mood of the mom.
I'm planning on testing this more... But from your results, it seems like the flirty/boy inspired/girl works. Thank you so much for sharing this! Whether it's a glitch or programmed in.. I'm glad I can have daughters without adopting now! :D
I'll probably be testing this out more :)
On a side note.... Anyone hear anything about raising chances for twins? I was thinking l get her to watch kids TV and listen That's what it was in TS3, but then I remembered that in TS4 the baby is decided when they try for a baby. I was hoping conceiving with one flirty and one inspired parent might cause boy and girl twins, but it was not to be.
