...and yet I've had it not work - I was trying to do a matrilineal dynasty, and there was one generation where the expectant mother ate 5 watermelons and ended up with a son. Does the code mention the time frame where this affects things? I know the conventional wisdom was always "between woohoo and maternity clothes", but I wonder if it's more specific than that.

That's pretty lucky about the 5 fruit thing for me since I have a couple who both want boys and I only bought 5 apples for them. Glad to see that will do the trick.
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0.

My question is, how effective is food made with the fruit? And now that I mysteriously have "plain Pancakes" instead of "Watermelon Pancakes", does that affect it? I once managed to get a mother not controlled by me to have a boy by force-feeding her apple pancakes, but I tried that with watermelon on another mother and no luck.

I've heard it doesn't work at all anymore. It might not have worked the first time, either - remember at the outset you've got a 50/50 chance of getting what you wanted even if you don't do a thing!

There was a patch where they said in the patch notes that pregnancies are no longer effected by food made with a fruit.  So it has to be the raw, off the vine/tree (out of the grocery store) fruit to effect the pregnancy anymore.  This was done several expansions ago as I think it might have been around Late Night.

Mixed Gender Twins are much more likely now that Pets is out.  I think they wiggled with the coding so that cats and dogs wouldn't always get just boys or just girls for a litter.

Oh no! So in other words, no more affecting a non-controlled Sim's baby's gender? Sad day!

I don't control the baby (ies) gender. So when it's twins, I ger mixed gender alot. In fact, I've never had girl/girl twins before...

From what I have seen you might want to try eating 5 apples and 5 watermelons, I have the fertility treatment and I always get twins and triplets. I have never tried getting mix gender but I am right now. Hope it works :)

Welcome to our Forum!

We've already discussed whether eating mixed fruit would do anything, and it doesn't.  The mixed genders just come on their on now in the game and the best way to get them is to just do nothing other than try to make it a multiple birth.

That's so cool...i have never really thought about it. Getting mixed gender twins that is... were they possible in sims 2? I can't remember.

Mixed gender twins were definitely possible in the Sims 2.  I got mixed gender far more often than same gender in the Sims 2.

I haven't yet gotten mixed gender twins in Sims 3, but I really haven't had very many sets of twins (I don't usually have my sims do anything that increases the chances of multiples).  Does anyone know what the chances are for having multiples in any given pregnancy, if you're not using fertility treatment/kids' tv/etc.?  I'm curious- it seems to happen much less often than it did in the Sims 2, probably because we have options like the fertility treatment LTR.

Seabody did some digging through the xml finds and made this thread that shows all the numbers for twins and triplets and the multipliers.

I got triplets with two girls and one boy which confused me so much that I missed it and had to go to the city hall and have his name changed to a boy's name!

You could have also just created mixed gender twins.  ;D
