I have been playing a game with that Pre-made for Go To Work, Sierra Moss Sim (even though I don't have the pack, but only had to SUB the everyday outfit) with life span on long, trying for completing those achievements and starting with Triple Play. Hard for me and obnoxious, for me to TRY to get...
Got the Fertility Treatment, have had her listen to Kids music/ Kids Tv show thing... First time, she got twins (a first actually)... Blah... Second time just one... I remember in TS3 Fertility Treatment seems to mean almost every time it's at least twins, if not triplets.
It seems like people get them like Triplets were given out in the game like candy, and I can't even get them once!
Using male townies, then giving them the off-spring, as I'm just going for the achievement. On the third different male sim and attempt at this... (Don't want one male with um-teen million kids to take care of, I'm not EVIL... not really lol)
Also Failing at getting that Grilled Cheese Aspiration... Is your Sim supposed to make AND Eat grilled cheese like 3-5 times in a row for it...?
BEFORE ANYONE ASKS: No, I don't use, nor am I willing to use cheats; I am just wondering how it is everyone else is getting them with such ease and yet I struggle lol. I thought people said TS4 is overly simple but I find some aspects challenging. Then again, I stink at all games...

Yeah try using the On a Ley Line Trait and give birth at home not at the hospital and watch lots and lots of the kid's network just to maximize your chance at them. I got my triples when I really didn't want them...I figure when I'm actually going for that achievement I won't get them at all.
@3KNPen Ah! Ok lol, Yeah, I just had Sierra make grilled Cheese over and over again, then wondering why it didn't appear LOL. I thought I read you had to make it-- but typical for me to confuse things/ remember them all wrong!
I think that is a trait from one of the billions of Packs I DON'T have
And it would just figure, you want something, you either don't get it or have to work hard for it BUT if don't want something, you get it, period
Do you have Spa Day? There's a Fertility Massage as well I believe.
Otherwise just keep listening/watching the kid's channel as much as you can stand it'll hopefully happen sooner rather then later lol. Is your sim married? You could always try giving the dad the treatment as well. It can't hurt the odds at the very least.
So, they make packs to solve certain 'challenges' one would/ might otherwise face it seems!
I guess THAT is the difference, like maybe 90-98% of all Simmers HAVE bought all the packs (offered so far) or close to or are working on it, while I haven't...
So, unless I buy one or both of them I'm in for more of a challenge than I bargained for
That Fertility thing costs, I believe it was 2,000 pts and not interested in getting a male and doodling with him THAT long lol... Don't like any of them enough... Thanks though.
If I could just muster the skill to create a Don Knots look-a-like sim (I lack all skill btw), I might do that...
I so want a Don Knots to name 'Barney Fife' for When I do get 'Go To Work', want my sim to work with him there in the detective career
It also has to do with YOUR game, for example, I never have multiple births, I had very few alien abductions, little to no vampire interference, even without using mods. My game is just coded to be uneventful (thankfully, I like to be in control and create my own drama).
Also, watching kids tv never worked to get multiples in my game, I've had several people tell me that that is the way to get multiples, but no, not for me.
But recently I did manage to have triplets, when I didn't neccessarily want them. I did add the on ley line lot trait, but the other time I tried that it didn't work. Anyway, it were the Bheeda's from City Living, in all my other games, whether I played them actively or not they always had single babies.
What I did do is have them woohoo at least once every day during the pregnancy. Not sure if that did the trick, but it is worth a try.
I know that in Sims 2 if Sims woohoo'ed anywhere in the 24 hours before or the 24 hours after conception, they'd have twins. Now that doesn't work in TS4, but maybe woohooing everyday might? Or maybe it was the ley line lot trait that did work this time around.
Maybe try moving your sims to another save/run a repair? Very possible it's a glitch of some sort.
I guess one HAS to get City Living or Day Spa or two sims BOTH with Fertility Treatment just to have any odds of getting it..
TS4 determines the gender and number of babies at the moment of conception! I remember in TS2 you could reload the game if you hoped for different gender of twins but this time around it won't help
So, maybe it's determined during the first trimester then?
As stated by SimGuruAzure:
It's not the same for every player because we don't have the same game. As in, the game can be programmed to have a pregnancy happen by default, like with Jasminder Bheeda. But that only means your game receives an order to generate said pregnancy and on multiple computers the generations will be random, because the pregnancy generation algorithm is random. As in, in my game she'll have triplets of the same gender, lets say boys, but in your game she'll only have a single baby girl. That's why MCCC allows you to find out the specifics as soon as you get the notif about pregnancy
And I pretty much expected that in the case of Jesminder Bheeda, it would change to the moment you start a new game and not the actual moment she'd get pregnant.
Nevertheless it would be nice if getting multiples did actually work like it did in Sims 2.
