How do I get triplets?

I have only gotten triplets once, on accident. I had my pregnant sim get a fertility massage.
On this save, however, I’ve only gotten two single babies and a set of twins. I had my sim get a fertility massage, ended up with twins. Now I had both of my sims get the fertility reward, and only got a single baby.
I don’t want to give the new baby up for adoption, but I really wanted triplets. My couple now has four babies, I can at most only get twins if I have them try for a baby.

There are things like the "fertile" reward trait, the fertility massage that came with spa day, or the on ley line lot trait that increase your Sim's chances of having multiples, but there is no way to increase the chances of triplets vs. twins. I've been playing the same save for 5 years. I've had 3 sets of triplets in all that time. They are very rare.
There is a complicated cheat to get triplets or more it you want. I haven't used it, but I can put the codes here.
Make sure testing cheats is on then:
You will need the sims ID #
To find that type:
sims.get_sim_id_by_name (enter Sim's name here)
I would recommend copy and pasting the number somewhere or at least writing it down.
Then:
pregnancy.force_offspring_count {Sim ID} #
For # you would put 3 if you want triplets.
Keep in mind you can't leave the current active household until the babies are born or it nullifies the code you put in.
It would look something like this:
sims.get_sim_id_by_name Jane Janeway
A number comes up. Then:
pregnancy.force_offspring_count 1476478568459745877 3
No, you don't get a notice unless you made a typo in putting in the code.
You know it worked when triplets (or what ever number) are born.
Occasionally I want a baby/babies to be born right away instead of in 12 days (That's what I have pregnancy set at now, heh!)
If you want the babies to be born right away, select the pregnant sim and put in this code:
sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_inlabor
Personally, I've been using 'cheat' codes less and less other than to set up a character or characters or a household, then let things play out. I have mods that make things run smoother or more interesting also. (Many thanks to many people here for help on this) MCCC sometimes conflicts so I've gone back to basic MCCC. Mainly for the age span setting.
Spontaneous pregnancy and forcing how many 'pop out' instantly is not really my thing when playing the game. I prefer a reason in-game to how the babies were conceived and born. I do occasionally tweak them for girl/boy when they are toddler with cas.fulleditmode, but I've been doing that hardly ever now. The surprise is more fun now that I have a bunch of families, households, already established. And at 5 or 6 generations for some of my originals.
I do alot of custom tweaking with a brand new family or household until I feel they are underway. Especially after buying up packs with new Worlds and new pre-mades. Go through and see if I want any to play or at least stay NPC. After that the occasional minor tweak here and there.
That being said, the main question here was how to force triplets.
It's been answered, I hope to satisfaction. Either use a heavy mod like MCCC that does the 'god' work for you, or temporarily use testingcheat codes.
•Make both parent sims have the fertility reward trait
•Make the pregnant sim listen to children's radio, watch children's tv or read children's books
• If you have Spa Day (I think it's that one) hey a fertility massage
• I think that's all
I hope this has helped! :smiley:
