I'm *fairly* new to TS4 and found toddlers an absolute nightmare - can't get a single thing done until they age up (I'm not one for speeding up the process), so I hope I never end up with twins or triplets! Full time nanny I think.
I've been wondering what the percentage chance is. I haven't been playing a family long, I've only had 3 deliveries- 1 single baby and 2 sets of twins. Twins were a rare occurrence for me in 2&3 without fertility rewards.
In my safe game Father Winter even fathered quadruplets once. The mother was aging up to Senior shortly after she gave birth and was taking care of them all alone.
They are four girls, so it might most possibly have just been a glitch, though.

Not sure what the percentage is @lisamwitt, I don’t write mods, only use a couple. Like MCCC @AquaGamer1212

My twins, Tessa and Thomas, are still toddlers, because I am playing on a customised, longer lifespan (Thanks MCCC). I have noticed that as toddlers gain skill they become more self-sufficient and easier to manage. Little Tessa makes the occasional mess, must be a creative type? Letting them eat themselves rather than forcing the high chair helps a tonne. I still like the highchair for new, single tots though.
Kylie and Joshua (aka Mum and Dad) don’t have much of a social life. I guess like in reality you can’t just accept invitations at the drop of a hat. Kylie has gone back to work (new career, business) though. Joshua has had to take the dog to the vet a few times. Had Kylie hire a nanny to go to one of those 8pm concert/rabbit hole pop-ups. The nanny was actually quite awesome and they’ve used her a couple times since and become friends.
I've had 5 sets of twins in this save. The ley line lot trait worked every time for me. The last set was not born on a ley line, and I was hoping for a single... but oh well. At least I'd had practice.
I had a third set of twins in my family. My first set was born on a house with the ley line trait. The other two were not, and I don't have fertility rewards, and no mods at all.
They must have set the percentage chance really high. I don't mind, I like twins because it gives me two heirs to choose from when deciding which Sim to continue on with (I only play one Sim at a time except when they have kids). I would love to have triplets once! I'll have to try a fertility reward and see if I can get them.
But I know this has to be annoying some players, who would prefer to not have multiples without the ley lines or rewards.
Not to derail the thread, but are sim twins more likely to give birth to twins than other sims are? Sim genetics are weird sometimes but it would be cool if twin likeliness was a thing that ran in the family.
I always thought it had something to do with your mode and your reward traits keep in mind though twin traits are heritary just like in real life not active witht he twins but will be active with the children of twins.

Sometimes with twins I hire a nanny even when my sims are home if they can afford it just to make things easier.
Mum is foxy pickle and the twins, chelsea and kelsey, enjoying a family breakfast (Ignore the high chairs behind, i forgot to remove them)
Well my twins reflect what is happening with the kids of today in the real world...
Computers, and tablets, lol.. These kids!!

Yay! I love twins. I'm soon to become the Grandmother of twins.
