I remember a Sims 2 hack that was something like this. No woohoo, and instead, sims requested babies from a garden flamingo.
Jesus. That sounds more scarring than introducing your kid to the concept of sex.
That all depends on how you introduce it. For me, it was an animated film called "Where Did I Come From?", which my mother thought would be an educational thing about babies. The only scene I remember was the part where the man and woman were in bed. It zoomed in on cat patterned bedsheets, and after a moment, the cats came to life and started going at it as well. As the age of four 0, I didn't get it, but my mom was considerably abhorred.
I was fortunated enough to watch that film as both a 6 (Introductory talk) and several times as a 12 (Health class every year, and advanced Biology). Needless to say, it was much more entertainingas a 12. I would love to see the look on the original poster's face if their child brought home the book Mommy Laid an Egg, as that book seemed too "adult" for several of the adults in my Children's Services: 0 to 6 class.
The Sims games are no worse than some of the shows on tv geared towards children.

no i just want it removed for my kid to play without asking questions! is there a way to remove a specific option from conversation?
I suspect this would be a largely futile approach. The kid is likely to know that sims are supposed to have babies and that this happens through woohoo. I suggest the 0-12 finishes pupating, as noted, or you have a quick convo with it. Either that, or follow the instructions on the box that indicate that the game is to be kept out of reach of children.

May I mention that my 5 year old thinks that the falling rose petals are pretty but misses the fireworks from Sims2? She used to ask all the time for the dogs to make puppies so she could watch the fireworks. She has been watching me play Sims since she was a baby, so we'll see if she is permanently scarred by it about the time she hits 12, I guess.

Now that I think about it... I remember making my barbie dolls have sex when I was a 6. I saw it as what grown ups did when married; where babies came from. I certainly didn't get aroused off of it - I was too young to care. Honestly, I don't think many kids would. Parents on the other hand are giving their kids too much credit to think they are seeing these things the same way adults do.
Verbed Noun:
Although I didn't know what it was at the time, I made my Barbies do BDSM when I was a 6. The odd (or not?) thing is that there was no source of inspiration for that; I was raised as a prudish Christian with little to no exposure to sexuality.
On-topic, I'm wondering why the hell the original poster decided to make their request here of all places.
