Its a nice surprise, feels so much better than forcing twins, but my sims never have twins without forcing
Only other sims outside my household seem to have twins, just recenlty my sim's brother had twin girls. And once I was playing Lennon Sosa in Lucky Palms and his pregnant ex girlfriend had twins!!! A boy and a girl! I was actually very upset that time, I only wanted one that time
Also, I did a bit more experimenting with multiple births and figured I’d share. For my test save I decided to go to good old SV and try it with... the Wolff’s.
I took more than a few screenshots, so I put them in a spoiler.
“A dusty old lamp? What am I supposed to do with this?”
Morgana predictably wishes for a large family.
This may be the last enjoyable moment in Thornton’s life.
After the genie wish, Morgana had these values:
None of these figures increased further afterwards (not that they needed to!), despite adding Fertility treatment LTR’s and watching/listening to kids TV/radio throughout the entire pregnancy (I made needs static).
Interestingly, prior to Morgana becoming pregnant, I had deliberately changed the quad chance settings in The Mod That Must Not Be Named to 0% (the default setting shows as 0.0001%), in an attempt to avoid quads for this test. It didn’t matter—Morgana gave birth to quads anyway and had three boys and then a girl. I reloaded and ran this test again but got the same results. It appears that if you have The Mod That Must Not Be Named installed—even if it's set to a 0% chance of quadruplets—if you also use the genie wish for a large family, you are going to end up with quads.
I took the mod out to completely eliminate the possibility of quads and without it installed, I tried again. Morgana had triplet boys, as expected from the following odds.
So, no mod installed + genie large family wish = guaranteed triplets.
Now, my last run-though with the Wolff’s.
“Yes, Thornton. Again.”
Instead of wishing for a large family with the genie this time, I had Morgana get pregnant with nothing used to influence the odds of multiples. At this point, I had put The Mod That Must Not Be Named back in, and it was at the default setting of 0.0001% for quadruplets.
Then I gave Morgana the Fertility LTR.
Then I gave Thornton the Fertility LTR.
Then I set the value in the mod for quads at 100%.
Those figures mean that Morgana could have quadruplets if the game makes a successful roll for triplets. If the trip roll fails, she cannot have trips or advance to the quad roll despite the 4,000,000% chance of them, so the result would be twins.
“We can’t have that now, can we, Thornton?”
So, Morgana is going to cheat learn alchemy in order to make procreation potions. (Oh, how I you MC!) However, as she is already pregnant, Morgana cannot drink one... Shenanigans! But Thornton can! And after he drank it... BAM!
Although Thornton’s procreation elixir moodlet only lasted 8 hours, the percentages stayed the same after the moodlet wore off. Also, since pregnant Sims love massages, I had Thornton give Morgana a romantic massage on the massage table. She got the moodlet (and her bump) but the percentages didn’t increase further.
I tried some kids’ TV/radio after that. I didn’t think she could get any higher percentages (not that it matters at this point, lol), but I figured I may as well try it.
And I took this pic while fast forwarding through TV/radio time.
Anyway, Morgana’s percentages never increased further, so I guess she already maxed out all the additional values that were possible, before I did the TV/radio. And checking MC>Basic>Baby>Set Multiple showed this:
So. Any moment now...
Morgana had quads; this time they were all girls. Here they are in order, and I named them after what I thought Thornton might say as each one popped out! Meet the Wolff quadruplets:
Ugh
Whaat
Noooooo
and STAHP
> I wanted twins for one sim a couple of years ago. I had the mother listen to kids' radio and watch kids' TV for hours. She had quadruplets. I didn't want that many, so I went back and didn't have her do those things, but she still had triplets. Neither parent had the fertility treatment LTR either. Sometimes, multiples just happen, even when you don't do anything to influence it.
Quadruplets?! Wow, I wish that could happen, especially in my 100 Baby Challenge.

I think those things increased the chances of my sim having triplets.
If you want triplets, try it out!
- Fertility Massage before woohoo
- Twin Roses ice cream
- Kids Channel
- Massage again
- Eat fruits + veggies!
- Listen to different kinds of music
- Very Happy Mood
Change the lot trait to On Ley Line (and/or get fertile reward trait) to increase your chances even more
Good luck! Let me know if this helped! :D
