The Sims 4, a life simulation video game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, offers a plethora of opportunities for players to live out their wildest fantasies.

One such opportunity is the ability to have triplets in the game, a feat that is both rare and challenging.

This article will delve into the various methods and strategies for achieving this, including the use of traits, cheats, and expansion packs.

 

The Legitimate Method

Step 1: Create Your Sims

The first step in having triplets in The Sims 4 is to create your Sims.

You’ll need at least one Sim who can become pregnant and another who can impregnate them.

It’s advisable to give your Sims the Romantic and Family-Oriented traits to make the process easier.

Step 2: Fertile Trait

After creating your Sims, you can give them the Fertile trait.

This trait increases the chances of having twins or triplets.

To do this, you’ll need to enter a cheat code, which is one of the few cheats that won’t disable any trophies or achievements.

Step 3: Maximize Romance

The next step is to maximize the romance between the two Sims.

This involves various interactions such as flirting, hugging, and kissing.

Once the romance bar is full, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 4: Save Your Game

Before proceeding, it’s crucial to save your game.

This allows you to return to this point and try again if your Sim doesn’t end up having triplets.

Step 5: Try for a Baby

Now, it’s time to try for a baby. Select the “Try for Baby” option when clicking on your character’s bed.

Your Sim will take approximately three in-game days to give birth.

The Pay-to-Win Method

Step 1: Buy the City Living Expansion Pack

If you’re willing to spend some money, the City Living Expansion Pack offers an easier way to have triplets.

This pack introduces a new lot trait called “On Ley Line,” which significantly increases the chances of having twins or triplets.

Step 2: Apply the “On Ley Line” Trait

After installing the expansion pack, apply the “On Ley Line” trait to your desired lot.

This can be done in Build Mode.

Step 3: Follow the Legitimate Method

Once the trait is applied, follow the steps outlined in the legitimate method.

The only difference is that the “On Ley Line” trait will make it much easier to have triplets.

Once you have the ID, use the pregnancy cheat like this: pregnancy.force_offspring_count Sim ID 3.
