Sims 4 Science Baby Explained

With the recent update to The Sims 4, a new Life Stage has been added to the game – the Infant stage. As expected, this stage comes with all sorts of changes and new things that your little Sim can do – and you can do for them. And one of these new features is the option to have a Science Baby in The Sims 4. But what is a Science Baby and what do you need to do to make one in Sims 4? In this Sims 4 Science Baby Explained guide, we are going to cover the entire process from start to finish and tell you everything that you need to know about how this works in the game.

Have Science Baby in Sims 4 Explained

First, let’s see what a Science Baby is. To translate this from Sims terms into real-life terminology, a Science Baby is a surrogate pregnancy. As such, it is comparable to adoption, though with several key differences. There are several ways you can go about this. You can either “Have Science Baby as Single Parent”, or “Have Science Baby with ____”. Whichever option you choose will result in the Sim in question leaving the gameworld for a period of time, and when they return – they will have a brand-new baby with them. This completely skips the usual pregnancy phase.

The second option allows you to ask to have a Science Baby in The Sims 4 with another Sim that you are on friendly terms with. This relationship can be perfectly platonic, it doesn’t need to be romantic. The only requirements are that the Sim in question is an adult, that they are not related to you, that you have a good relationship with them, and that you have 1200 Simoleon to pay for the procedure. The great thing about this new option is that it allows you to mix your genetics with a fellow Sim that you are only friends with.
