What're the odds? 8 births, 8 male infants
Georgette:
Oh, I killed 8 of the sons, yeah, but I really wanted that girl because the parents were so good looking. And Sims 3 is seriously lacking in terms of deaths. I mean, 5 types? In the sims 2 (with all expansion packs and the run with scissors kit) you could kill them off 19 different ways!
Jackathyn:
I had a similar scenario happen, only with a ridiculous volume of girls. I think I ended up with twelve before it stopped. Even the pair of random triplets in there. (!!!)
I'd put it down to ghastly luck. I agree, it's a pain in the ass. Does reloading have no effect in TS3 on generated traits/gender, or has that just been my experience? I've tried the old TS2 trick of reload-reload-reload, but it just plum doesn't seem to work in TS3.
sewinglady:
I tried it with the latest birth, no luck - still a boy, so I think that the threads on the other section of this board (the strategy part) are right - determined at conception unless changed if a 'doctor' tells you the sex...too bad I don't have a doctor in this version of Riverview as of yet.
And my latest victim, er, knocked up sim, got that way on vacay in China with her hubby, so we'll see if I'm going for male baby #9 next time I play...
Angrboda:
I don't kill Sims. If I get a baby I don't like I simply control+click and delete the baby. Sure the mother walks around for awhile thinking there is a baby there, but it is fleeting. Then just try for another baby.
Are you making your females all really muscular, or perhaps ugly? Do they have masculine traits such as angler, handy and criminal or super athletic? I am just wondering if traits may be a contributing factor in sex determination. Have you tried making a female that is absent minded, hopeless romantic, natural cook, friendly and family oriented? I wonder what sex her babies would be? ;) Oh wait...didn't you say you went to China? If you got Preggo in China, don't hold your breath for a girl.
sewinglady:
yup, nine for nine...all boys.
The current female sim I'm playing is natural cook, green thumb, hopeless romantic, neat, and oh I can't remember the 5th one - probably either flirty, friendly or charismatic...as I tend to use those a lot in created sims.
I'm running out of good boy names (and don't bother suggesting any, because by 'good' I mean 'slightly different' - last two were named Anker and Delman so guess I'm on a Scandinavian kick this week).
