LEVEL UNLOCKS: 8 UNLOCKS: pregnancy and pregnancy events
Pregnancy has arrived in simtown! Once you complete the Two and a Half Sims Quest you will be able to build the maternity store in simtown from level 8 (you can find it next to the real estate agency and near the mall) once the store is built this quest will begin. When you complete the quest you unlock pregnancy so your female adult sims will grow a baby bump!
You cannot complete this quest at the same time as any other discovery quest
The price for building the maternity store will vary depending on how many businesses you have already built
In this quest you will be completing the pregnancy event, there is a 9 day time limit for this event and if you complete in the time limit you will unlock the baby bonus but you can still complete this once the time limit is up.
- Have a Doctor explain pregnancies- 30 seconds (call a Doctor using a phone, they will appear at that house so you can select the option)
- Talk pregnancies with a sim- 30 seconds
- Purchase the maternity outfit from the maternity store- black and grey outfit costs 500 maternity tokens
NOTE: your sims can only wear the maternity clothes when they have a baby bump (check out my maternity store post here)
Once this quest is over you can still earn maternity tokens to buy all the items from the maternity store by completing another pregnancy event!
- Place empty crib- buy one from the infant section of the home store
- Start the pregnancy event- for this you need an adult female, this event takes 9 days! Click on the crib and select the pregnancy event option and then select the adult female who you want to become pregnant:
- Select sim icon- click on the pregnancy event button in the corner of the screen then click on the picture of your sim
- View pregnancy daily goals- head back to the pregnancy event tab
Daily goals have to be completed by the pregnant sim, no other sim can complete these goals. Your sim has 9 days of goals to complete, you don’t have to finish a days goals on time, if you are behind you will start on the next day as soon as the previous days goals are complete BUT you cannot complete day 9 once the time is up, the baby will be born straight away once the time is up and you will only get the baby bonus if all goals and tasks are completed before the time is up (keep reading for more information). Completing pregnancy events earns maternity tokens used to buy maternity clothes and nursery furniture from the maternity store.
- View pregnancy support tasks- head back to the pregnancy event tab
Support tasks can be completed by any sim, you need to complete all support tasks and daily tasks within the 9 day time limit to earn the baby bonus
- View baby bonus- go back to the pregnancy event tab and click on the ‘i’ icon above the picture on the event tab
If you complete all the daily goals every day and all the support tasks you will earn bonuses for that baby, they will earn more experience points when they complete actions, complete actions faster, are not affected by low motives (low needs) and they will have these bonuses for life!
- Complete the pregnancy event
You need to complete all 9 days of daily goals and support tasks to earn the baby bonus, once the 9 days are up you will no longer get the baby bonus but your sim will still give birth. The 9 days symbolise a month a day so once you complete day 3 and start day 4 your sim will reach the 2nd trimester and their baby bump will appear, they will then start wearing the maternity clothes you brought earlier in this quest. Once you complete day 6 and start day 7 they will reach the 3rd trimester and their baby bump will get bigger
NOTE: I know I said in my video that appointments aren’t going to be in the update but I misunderstood when they told me appointments were going to be removed- they were talking about the aerobic and ultrasound appointments not the doctors appointment which is still available, sorry about that!
TIP: If you cannot afford the simoleons for the appointments select the LP option instead, this post may help if you need to earn some LP quickly!
Stuck on a daily goal or support task? Check out my list here that explains how to complete each goal!
If you don’t manage to complete this event in the time limit you will miss out on the baby bonus but the baby will still be born!
QUEST IS COMPLETE!
Pregnancy has now been unlocked on the crib, so you now have two pregnancy options:
- Pregnancy Event– you have 9 days to complete all the daily goals and support tasks to earn the baby bonus and maternity tokens for the baby is born
- Pregnancy– takes 6 days but there are no daily goals or tasks to complete, your sim will just grow a baby bump and then give birth after the 6 days!

What if I have reached the max sim limit?
You would need to delete another sim to make room for the baby unfortunately
Thank you for posting this, as always you are a TREMENDOUS HELP in getting through these!!!
Not sure yet how i feel about the changes but i am super excited about the babies having a lifetime of needs being fulfilled IF i have the time to devout to completing the required tasks to make that happen. We’ll see gow this goes, i guess.
Thank you again. God bless you and Happy Simming. 😁
You’re very welcome! 🙂
Hi! Do you know when the update will be available to everyone?
Very soon, it will be in the app store sometime on the 19th!
I”m a little confused. If you get maternity tokens through pregnancy, but this quest is required to unlock it, are you given the tokens needed to purchase the outfit in this quest?
Yes you get 500 to complete this task
Probably my store will costs 3 million to build
I just have 2,4 million
OH GOSH!
Why does it say it is an 8-day event? Can I not complete it when I want?
Yes you can complete it when you want as it is a discovery quest
Thanks again for these walkthroughs. Is this something that we can start later or is the pregnancy event (with rewards and tokens, as opposed to bump only) itself only a limited time? The EA website describes it a “A Bump-y Road Discovery Quest: 8-day event starting June 19 (AEST)”. If we don’t start soon, are we missing out, or can we get the full experience later? Or is this like the island (house, which can be started whenever you are ready to do so?
You can start this whenever you like as it is a discovery quest so it will be available when you are ready to complete it
Hi! I am so appreciative of your ideas and the time/effort you put into all things Sims! 🙂 My Sims have been having babies for a couple of years, so shouldn’t I see the Maternity Store on my map? Am I forgetting something?
Thank you and God bless you!
Thanks! You will need to update your game from the app store to be able to see the new maternity store on the town map 🙂
If i don#t do this quest now, can I still do it, in say.. 2 months later? Bcs I’m a bit busy now 😦
Yes it is a discovery quest so you can complete it when you want to 🙂
Is anyone else having a lot of screen locking during this quest?
A fix update was released this week so download that if you haven’t already, hopefully this will fix it!
Does completing the bump-y ride quest give you an actual baby when it is finished?
Yes, once the pregnancy event is complete you complete this quest and your sim will have their baby
Have you had trouble with the game freezing when your support tasks hit 17% completion? I saw it somewhere else but didn’t think it would happen to me. But it did! Anyone know if there is a fix on the horizon?
A fix update was released this week so download that if you haven’t already, hopefully this will fix it!
Is it really normal that my game was crushing every time I open the maternity button? I’m a little confuse 😦
A fix update was released this week so download that if you haven’t already, hopefully this will fix it!
Does each day of the pregnancy restart at midnight or does it restart at the time you started the quest? (Example, I started my day 1 at 7am today. Will my day 2 start at 7am tomorrow?)
It restarts at the time you started
I have missed the bump-y ride quest, will I able to do the quest again if I build the maternity store? Thankyou.
You can’t miss this quest, this will be available when you are ready to complete it, just build the maternity store to begin this quest but there is no rush
Can their be multiple pregnant women and can they still go to work while pregnant
Yes many sims can be pregnant when you select the pregnant option, only one sim can complete a pregnancy event at a time though but they cannot work while pregnant, check out this post for more inforation at how pregnancy works: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2018/06/18/the-sims-freeplay-guide-to-pregnancy/
Hey…so about the new update…when I downloaded the update it completely opened as a new icon and game set up…luckily I had saved my data on cloud so could retrieve it..then when I am in the event of the bumby ride I am stuck in the last trimester of the sim..the game operates other than the event…if I click the event tab..it simply opens the window but I can’t click on the tabs any further..have tried re-download and everything but doesn’t work…plz help…
A fix update was released this week so download that if you haven’t already, hopefully this will fix it!
Thank you soo much ….hope the game runs again….loads of luv to u..
You’re welcome! 🙂
Hi I can’t figure out how do sims wash dishes in pregnancy quest. Help. Thanks. Bev ransom
Select the option on a sink in the kitchen
Thank you very much!!
There’s not an option to build a new business in my town…i do have the update, have completed the two and a half sims long ago, I just don’t know how to start this quest
The maternity store should be next to the real easte agency on the same side of simtown as the mall, if you can’t find it make sure you have the latest update, I know you said you already have it but it might not have updated properly the first time
My sim has been pregnant for two days now. I’m in the UK and her daily goals aren’t refreshing until about 6pm in the evening?
I can’t stay up all night to complete them? What do I do?
The goals refresh at the time you started day 1, I would suggest you pick the task that takes the longest time to complete during the night
Thankyou for replying, I have been doing what you suggested and it seems to be working out ok now 🙂
Oh good! 🙂
I’m sorry but I didn’t finish my question.
Can more than one SIM do the Bump-y Ride quest at the same time?
Only one sim can be pregnant while completing this but all other sims can help to complete the support tasks
I have the new update and the appointment was still a requirement costing me 138,000 simleons. I was under the impression this would go away as that was what it sounded like in the video. Why do I still have to pay that much?
Sorry I misunderstood when they told me appointments would be removed- they were talking about the aerobic and ultrasound appointments not the doctors appointment which is still available, sorry about that!
Thank you for clearing this up! Any chance the price will lower in the future?
Lets hope so! I have given feedback about this to the makers because it is just too high!
Does your female sim have to be married to do the pregnancy quest?
No they don’t
I’m stuck on a step when you need to purchase maternity clothes in a newly open store but when I push “buy” it says you can’t cause you have not enough tokens. I have zero tokens and it wants me to buy a 500 tokens clothes… 😦
If you still don’t have these tokens and have downloaded the fix update you will need to contact the makers to see if they can fix this issue for you, they are aware of this issue so hopefully if they haven’t fixed it already they are working on a fix
Can we have a pregnancy event and a live event like the day care event at the same time or will the pregnancy event prevent other live events from showing up?
Thanks for your great blog. It is incredibly useful!
You can complete them at the same time but remember any pregnant sims won’t be able to partake in the live event
You’re welcome!
Do you have to have the hospital for this quest?
No you don’t
How long will it take for the bump to grow?
The bump appears on day 4 and it grows on day 7
Are we able to earn enough tokens to purchase all of the maternity clothes and furnitre? I’m doing the math and it doesn’t seem like it.
You won’t earn all the maternity tokens you need from one pregnancy event, you have to complete more pregnancy events to earn more
Just a note… appointments are in the update. And they cost a lot!
Sorry I misunderstood when they told me appointments would be removed- they were talking about the aerobic and ultrasound appointments not the doctors appointment which is still available, sorry about that!
Your blog is my Sims Freeplay go to manual. It’s great!
In your Guide to Pregnancy video, I believe you said that gamers have to select the option to have a baby after the 9 day event. For the discovery quest, is it the same? The pregnant mom won’t automatically go into labor at the end of the time period: Is my understanding correct?
I want to amass as many maternity tokens as I can from the Support Tasks before the pregnant sim gives birth. That’s why I’m asking.
Thanks! I believe that is the case yes, you have to click on the crib and select have baby
You say in the video that they’re getting rid of the horrifically expensive appointments in the daily goals, but I still have them. Do you know what’s up with that? I probably won’t bother with pregnancy if it’s goong to cast me a million simoleons or more.
Sorry I misunderstood when they told me appointments would be removed- they were talking about the aerobic and ultrasound appointments not the doctors appointment which is still available, sorry about that!
Hi! After you pass the sets of support goals are you suppose to receive the tokens immediately
If you reach the milestone where you get the tokens then yes
Is it possible to earn enough tokens to purchase all the items? Because they reward us with so few after each day. And also do we loose all items if we don’t purchase them within the 9 days?
You won’t earn all the maternity tokens you need from one pregnancy event, you have to complete more pregnancy events to earn more.
And no you don’t lose the items if you haven’t purchased them in the 9 days, they will be in the store until you buy them
Why is it charging me lp’s or £200,000 for appointments on the new baby quest? Considering the effort needed to complete this event is ridiculous, I find it seriously annoying. P.s thank you for your blog I use it alllllll the time 😁
I know the price is ridiculously high for these appointments! I misunderstood when they said they were removing the appointments- I was hoping they would be reducing the price and fixing it for a future update but it turns out they were keeping the doctors appointment that expensive!!
Hello. I’m on the first day and one of the daily goals says: APPOINTMENT: Use a Phone to call a doctor to your home to check on the babys progress. I use the Phone and call the doctor over, and get two options when I talk to her, but they both seem to cost money or LPs. Os this gong to be a very expencive baby, or am I doping it wrong?

Can I have multiple sims help me with the support tasks
Yes, for example, if you need to complete a task 5 times 5 sims can complete this
How do you practice calming a tired sim?
Select the option on a phone
If I don’t complete daily goals or support goals, will Sims not get a bump?
Yes they will, if you don’t complete them then you go straight onto the next day and they will get their baby bump on day 4
In your video it said they would get rid of the pricy appointments, but they didn’t any suggestions on how to get more simeoans and LP
Sorry I misunderstood when they told me appointments would be removed- they were talking about the aerobic and ultrasound appointments not the doctors appointment which is still available, sorry about that!
This post may help you if you need to earn more money: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
Hello! Thanks for the post, it is super helpful. You mentioned in you video walk through that they would be removing the Appointments from the daily goals. Just want to let you know that they still have the Appointments in the daily goals for the pregnant Sim.
Sorry I misunderstood when they told me appointments would be removed- they were talking about the aerobic and ultrasound appointments not the doctors appointment which is still available, sorry about that!
I’m stuck on the task “Take a relaxing walk around the Park lake”; I’ve whistled her over to the park, tapped on everything I could think of including her and I still can’t figure out how to make her complete it. A little help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you not find the option on the lake?
LOL! Figures. I did not tap on the water. She is busy right now but I will attempt the task again when she’s done. Thank-you for answering!
You’re welcome!
Can I still add another sim while doing the pregnancy event?
Yes you can, make sure you have space for the baby though!
This is very frustrating. I still have the yoga appointment on day two, and it won’t move me on to day three tasks until I finish day two’s tasks. I don’t want to have to spend a couple hundred simoleons every day for the next week! I had hoped to be able to earn a few tokens each day by doing all but the appointments. Now my sim is stuck in pregnancy, earning nothing (she can’t go to work, either), for nothing.
I know it is far too expensive! If you cannot afford the simoleons for the appointments there is always the LP option, if you don’t have enough LP this post may help you earn some quickly: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
I’ve tried lots of different Sims practicing preparing formula but I have nothing to show. What am I doing wrong? Please help
Have you completed it the number of times it says on the task?
Question: are you supposed to get the tokens above each section of the support tasks? I just hit my first mark which had a token value above it but nothing happened…or is it a running total you get in the end? I’m confused.
Yes you are meant to, if this issue is still happening you may want to contact the makers and see if they can fix this issue for you, this post explains how to contact them if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Thanks for your blog! I love it! Looks even more time consuming for this event. I’m on Day 2. Looks like we’d hsve to give up sleep to complete it. Haha. Glad I have SP’s. Just hope I have enough!
You’re welcome and thanks! Good Luck!
Meant to ask this in my last post, but can we make more than one sim pregnant? Like say, all of them? I think that’d be a great help!
Yes, once you complete the quest you can have as many sims as you want pregnant at once but only one sim can complete a pregnancy event at a time, this post explains more about pregnancy: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2018/06/18/the-sims-freeplay-guide-to-pregnancy/
I am not sure what time I started my 9 day event. I am close to ending day one, and the number 2 is now highlighted in a soft pink. Any way for me to know how much time I have before day 2 starts?
You have to complete day 1 before you can start day 2, it doesn’t automatically go onto the next day as I was told, sorry about that!
I want this so badly but I have to save up 3.000.000 simoleons to build the maternity store ughhh
Does anyone know how to take a selfie by the bathroom sink something like that because I’m trying and it won’t let me
You need to click on a sink and select the option using the pregnant sim
