But why limit yourself to just one kid? As they say the more, the merrier! As long as it's virtual reality, of course. And having twins and triplets in Sims is also a possibility. It will take you a little effort and some time. But in the end you will be proud of the fact that you nailed  this parenting challenge — twins are a fairly rare "trophy" to conquer. Our guide will tell you how to get twins in Sims 3. 1. Step One — Fertility treatment Okay, the very first thing to do is to obtain Fertility Treatment. It's an achievement that will cost you a staggering amount of 10,000 Happiness points.  Well, you know how to grind them already: make your simulated persona satisfied, keep the Sim in the great mood. It can be done through fulfilling your Sim's career ambitions, desires, dreams, playing, exercising, partying etc. Even simple showering can add a bit of Happiness. Once you hit the mark of 10k: ·         Open the Sim Panel. ·         Select Lifetime Happiness. ·         Open Lifetime Rewards. ·         Scroll down to spot the Fertility Treatment. ·         Buy it. Now you're ready to have a baby. But to enhance your luck of giving birth to twins, both of the Sim parents must have the Fertility Treatment reward. 2. Step Two — Pregnancy Now you're onto making the mother Sim pregnant with your future twins. It is done by getting the Relationship meter filled to the maximum. Basic strategy here is to do a lot of chatting, flirting, secret sharing and spamming one of the Sims from your in-game computer. Brighten Day is also a good move. If you are really impatient though, here's the Relationship cheat: modifyrelationship MotherSim FatherSim 80 romance_main Instead of MotherSim/FatherSim, you need to put your Sims' names and the deed is done. Once the relationship meter goes through the roof, it's time for your Sims to get intimate. And while they are doing so, an option "Try for Baby" will pop up — click on it. You should know that pregnancy doesn't always occur at first attempt. But if you hear signature lullaby sounds — it is a success! Another indication of the upcoming birth giving is the female Sim running to the toilet to puke. Beware: puke animation is grossly well-detailed. 3. Step Three — Welcoming the baby It is, probably, the hardest part of the mission. You must regularly, relentlessly dedicate the mother Sim to: ·         Reading literature and magazines on pregnancy. ·         Watch shows for kids. ·         Play music for children. To increase your luck, both of the parents must do this, so hand the pregnancy books to the father Sim too. Additionally you can make him interact with the unborn child — talking to it, feeling and touching the mom's stomach etc. It adds extra points. In the meantime the mother Sim must be kept as happy as possible. And strangely enough, dancing to the children's music is one of the key activities to do so. It is recommended to dance for hours. 4. Step Four — Pick a gender Although totally optional, you may affect the gender of your twins to be born. If you're going for the boys team — the mother Sim must consume minimum three apples one after another. If it's girls you prefer — the same, but with watermelons. This  maneuver must be done in the first two days of the pregnancy period so don't procrastinate. 5. The Final Step — Raising the new family Once the gestation is over — it's about five in-game days — twins will be born! But as the game reminds us: "Having two babies is double the fun, but also double the trouble!" The newly baked Sim parents will need a spacious house, bigger budget for two children and more time to spend with them. Moreover, you're not insured from having three kids instead of two. This is why you're supposed to do "pragmatic" preparations beforehand. Just like in real life. A couple of lifehacks 1.  Showtime If you happen to have a Showtime, you can make a wish for a bigger family! The desire is granted by a Genie. As a result, your Sims will be in the Feeling Fertile state, until you hit the Try for Baby button. The outcome maybe "disastrous" though: instead just of a couple twins you'll get triplets! Welcome to the nightmare of the early parenthood. 2. Procreation Elixir This magic Elixir gives a Sim the so called "Twinkle in the Eye". It lasts for 8 consecutive hours and if you try for a baby during this time — twins or triplets are guaranteed.  Procreation elixir is available only if you have Supernatural. 3. Soothing Massage Another trick to trigger High Fertility parameter. Give the mother Sim the Infinite Zen Massage and she'll be extremely fertile for 24 hours to follow. Attempt to have a child — a set of twins/triplets will be on the way! If you don't have the Sims 3, you can get links at "Download page".

Continue Reading Best Mods for Sims 3 You Need Right Now The Sims 3 was so good that even with The Sims 4 released in the world, players all over still go back to the beloved game. That means that mods are essential to the experience, as it is an older game at this point and many of the vanilla features can seem outdated. Luckily, The Sims modding community is massive. Here’s a ton of mods that you need if you’re going to keep playing this amazing classic. Pose Player This mod is an actually useful tool for you to create your own sim movies. The pose player enables your sim to pose according to your wishes. This will be in your buy/build mode in the decorations section after you install it. Place it anywhere on the lot. Select a sim and then click on the object and any pose you like!

To use this mod, you need to download and place it in Game/bin. Also, note that some animations of this mod are still in the testing phase. Overwatch You don’t even need to admit your game is laggy. Everyone’s The Sims 3 became laggy at one point or another and became virtually unplayable. Say hello to your savior, Overwatch. Overwatch has a ton of uses, but it’s mostly a way to clean up your game each night. You’d be surprised just how many sims can get stuck and make your lag insane to handle through each sim day. It’s automatic and can relieve your game’s stress. You can turn off all televisions, turn off stereos, reset missing sims, reset everything that’s stuck, cleanse the dead (creepy), clean up inventories, and a ton more that will guarantee less lag. Thanks, Overwatch, for cleaning up EA’s mess! Tagged Plants Wondered if the plans can talk? It will say that it needs water, weeding, fertilizer. All the basic info you need to cover your gardening fantasies. It also says what kind of a plant it is! Story Progression Story Progression has ruined every sim player that’s installed it. No longer can anyone go back to the vanilla game after installing at least this mod. It can get annoying as constant messages pop up letting you know of the new story progressions, but you can shut them off. This takes the base game’s story progression and puts it on steroids, making the original look like poop. The sims will go on with their lives, getting married, breaking up, falling in love, changing jobs, having babies, buying houses, literally everything. Hospital Overhaul Mod The hospital overhaul mod is one of those mods where the simmers are trying to find it all over the internet because the creator has closed off his site. But fortunately, it’s available. With this mod, you could make sims commit assisted suicide or make them become a surrogate mother. It has alien sperm implantation, sperm or egg donation, and surgery for sex reassignment. Oh and if you’re ever wondering if your pregnant sim is having a boy or a girl- this mod has ultrasound services to determine it. Make Your Sims Extra Beautiful with Skin Mods  Subtle differences with this mod will really up to the game. They also made a mod for the sims’ eyes that change up some minor details. If we’re talking huge changes to your sims’ skins, though, check out this mod that changes your sims from doll faced mannequins to friggin’ supermodels. Higher definition, better contouring, eyes look far more realistic, and the eyebrows are hella looking good now. Once installed, you’ll never be able to even look at the EA designed sims graphics again. Same-Sex Marriage As the title says, this mod enables you to control your sims to have cheesy romantic relationships for the same sex. Also as the author says it only works with the latest patch.

This mod adds a new menu “Master Controller” to every computer and allows the active Sim to control Demographics (population, job level, e.t.c), Sims relations (Pollinate, Romance relations, edit active sim in CAS..e.t.c) and control the town, etc. This mod adds a menu called “NRaas Master Controller” to the following items in town: 1) Every Sim 2) Every Computer 3) Every Lot 4) City Hall Know the Attraction System? It’s Better Now Whereas before it seemed to be a random occurrence to have two sims find each other attractive (or it relied on your sim being in tuned with her or his skills), the Retuned Attraction mod makes it rely on moodlets when two sims meet. Traits, zodiac signs, and rewards are now also thrown into the mix, making the attractions at least a little more realistic for your sim to find their missing puzzle piece. Or just someone new to woohoo. The No DVD Mod I think this will be useful to everyone, this mod disables the CD Authentication with the game loads.

This allows for far more intricate sims, and you won’t be able to go back to vanilla after this. Why should your sim be restricted to a couple of traits? Santa in Town! Get Santa in your town! I wonder if he actually delivers presents though! Disasters and Blessings Ever wanted to turn your hatred into godlike powers? With this mod you could icify a sim and be Zeus and lightning struck a sim. You can summon showers of meteors or play the cupid and make sims fall in love. Continue Reading
