If the baby born is a boy and you want it to be a girl, exit the lot without saving after the birth sequence plays. You can even save after the Sim starts going through the labor animation – as long as it’s before you get the pop-up that says “a new baby is on the way.” Exit the lot without saving before the new baby pop-up appears. If you can, save just before your Sim goes into labor. You’ll need to save the game while your Sim is pregnant but before she (or he) gives birth. Let’s take a look at how you can use these methods to have your own baby girl. These are the only two ways currently possible to influence the baby’s gender. You can exit the lot without saving after the birth sequence plays, use the tombstone of life and death on a male Sim (which basically creates an opposite-gender clone of the Sim). So, how do you have a baby girl in The Sims 2? There are two different ways. Unfortunately, there is no way to influence the gender of an unborn baby without cheating as there is in later iterations of the game. But I’ll also show you how to use cheats if you’re really impatient, as the non-cheat version can be a little tedious. Does your Sims 2 family need a baby girl? The game has a built-in method you can use to make SURE you have a girl.
