The update is finally here! 😊 Public Release Oct 26th, 2022
Please read the instructions before playing with this update:
1. Before installing the update, make sure you remove the old version of the child birth mod from your mods folder.
2. Call the obstetrician when your sim is in the second trimester and select "Home Birth"
Doing so will prevent your sim from giving birth at the bassinet automatically when they are go into labor.
3. Select "Start Home Birth" once your sim is in labour ‼️‼️This is important‼️‼️
4. You should see a red beating heart icon above your sims head, if it disappears at any point while your sim is in labor, repeat step 3 to get it back
5. if this is your first time playing the child birth mod: you can ask a sim to "accompany child birth" which makes them your birth partner, you need 30+romance or 70+ friendship for this interaction to show up. A birth partner is mandatory for interactions such as "sway together" "Ask for Back Massage" "Cuddle With Partner", as well as Bed Birth(romantic partners recommended).
6. Early labor activities from the hospital can now be performed at home.
If this is your first time playing the child birth mod, early labor activities are interactions you can do to speed up your sims's dilation and ease their contractions.
you can:
click on your sim to "Go For A walk"
click on a "yoga ball" (purchase from Build and Buy Mode) to "Exercise" or "Ask for a Back Massage"
click on a bed to"Do Breathing Exercise"
click on a bath tub or a shower take a bath or a shower
click on a birth partner to "Sway Together"
7. Your sim will get contraction moodlets throughout early labor. Performing Early Labor activities will help the contraction to go away quickly
8. A new early labor activitiy named "Cuddle With Partner" can now be performed by clicking on a birth pool(Purchase from build and buy)
9. You may "Call Midwife" once you feel your sim is close to giving birth. You may do so whenever you like, but keep in mind they charge 120simoleon/hr. You will get a notification and a midwife will show up at your door after a few minutes
10. You can get your dilation checked by clicking on a midwife.
This interaction can also be performed on any sim with a medical career
11. If you want to do water birth, you must purchase a birth pool from build and buy
and leave plenty of space around it when placing it down, failure to do so might cause the bassinet to fail to spawn and yeet the baby into the middle of nowhere.
Heres a tutorial on how to fix it if it happens to you
once your sim is fully dilated they can give birth by clicking on the birth pool. A midwife or a sim with a medical career must be on the lot for this interaction to appear.
12. If you want to do bed birth, you must purchase birth pillows from build and buy.
Bed Birth can only be performed with a birth partner, and Romantic partners are highly recommended because of the kissing animation
place the pillows on a double bed, make sure to leave plenty of room on the right side of the bed, the red rectangle indicates where the bassinet will spawn. If there are objects in that area or if the walls are too close the bassinet will fail to spawn and the baby will be yeeted into the middle of no where. Heres a tutorial on how to fix it if it happens to you
once your sim is fully dilated they can give birth by clicking on the birth pillows. A birth partner must be on the lot for this interaction to appear.
13. After your sim gives birth, move the bassinet away THEN sell or destroy the birth pillows or birth pool‼️‼️This is important‼️‼️
If you destroy it before moving the bassinet away your baby will get sent to your household inventory; If you sell it before moving the bassinet away your baby will also get sold; If you age up your baby before moving it away you will get a LE.
So just move the bassinet
14. Do not click on the "Have Baby" option, that's the EA Have baby interaction and will make your sim give birth with a bassinet
15. You should not travel to a different lot when your sim is in early labor, doing so might mess up their dilation‼️‼️This is important‼️‼️
16. if this your first time playing the child birth mod and you dont want to wait for your sim to get fully dilated and just want them to give birth you can shift click on your sim, "Childbirth Settings" "Give Birth Immediately"
*If a midwife leave randomly another one should appear at your door and take their place.
When a mod first releases it could have unknown issues and unknown mod conflicts, so updates might be coming within a few days if I discover any serious bugs. if you run into any issues please send a message in my discord server: https://discord.gg/Sk5j2yBJwX

I need help because I can not download the mod
Christy Wakeen
It wouldn't work otherwise. Its one of the earliest game packs but people still dont have it?
So unfair you have to purchase the get to work pack just to use this
Rachel Matos
without beds I didn´t try, but did try with ea and cc beds. I´ll try again and let you know! thanks!
I'm having this issue as well, except my pillows come up. Just no midwife sadly. My mods are up to date but im going to read through the notes and see if i missed something.
Céleste Cloud
It worked for me I just had to remove the pillows... strangely ^^
PandaSama
Thank you 🥺🥺
Miss Boo
Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mod. The home birth is my fave so far but I love all of the options. You worked your tush off on this!!
Miss Boo
Thanks! Going into CAS fixed for me, too.
PandaSama
Have you tried all your mods out or starting a new save?
PandaSama
Lol ya I know what is going on, you can try shift clicking on your sim, child birth settings, remove dilation
PandaSama
If you mean you are trying to give birth using the birth pillows but is getting the out of reach animation, are you using cc beds by any chance? Is so try ea beds, or removing the beds entirely
PandaSama
Shift click on your sim, child birth settings, remove dilations
PandaSama
Hi, make sure the pillows are not in the bed when trying to do breathing exercises. What do you mean when you said the partner denied the baby? I don’t think that’s part of child birth mod
PandaSama
do a file search to make sure there aren’t any old versions of the mod in your mods folder https://www.patreon.com/posts/70565996
my midwife wont work and pools and the pillows wont come up
Ciara
main problem is not being able to use the bed to give birth or breathing exercises, the pool works, an midwife showed up. i chose a partner to accompany me but he has denied the baby (even though its his baby) so i want the new guy shes been flirting with to be with her through birth but idk how to take him off and add the other guy to assist
Rose Graham
hi love your mods!
Hi. So my sim just gave birth but the heart is still above her head. What should I do?
Rachel Matos
hi! when I try to use the birth pillows but get the 'out of reach' animation. is there a right way to place it on the bed? it´s a big room, so nothing in the way.
Miss Boo
Soooo….funny glitch. I used the birthing pool and noticed that after she had the baby, all of her pants are missing from all of her outfits…in every category. Couldn’t figure out why she was walking around pants-less and when I clicked on “Change Outfit” all of the pants are missing for every outfit. 😂😂😂
anybody else game have exclamation points over all their buildings in every world? it made my hospital disappear off the lot and I can't move residents in because the lots are messed up
Love the mods (:
PandaSama
Hi, no that has not been fixed yet
After my sim gave birth But the baby goes somewhere else, not in the crib. what should i do but move household it return is normal
Make sure you have the transcript part added and your script mod turned on
Does this fix the issue with the baby getting renamed?
Thank you!! I will definitely keep that in mind if she's my midwife again and gets arrested 🤣
Danielle- Creative Girl of Color
Hey so I kept having issues with getting the mod to show up so I went in my mods folder and found out I had a spare script file left from your previous mod. Took it out and the mods started working but the baby disappeared and the animation glitched out and didnt follow thru. Then I got a LE from Better exceptions saying I should update your mod? Its not working well
PandaSama
😨wow that is alot of drama lol if the call mid wife interaction is no longer visible you can either a)save the game and restart, start home birth, call midwife then cheat your sim to give birth immediately. b) have someone in your household join the doctors career temporarily and act like a midwife or c) invite someone who is a doctor on to your lot and ask them to deliver the baby
Danielle- Creative Girl of Color
Also I got so frustrated I just canceled out everything and I used the have baby option which is EA‘s option and now it’s just this big red heart beeping above her head and it won’t go away! Is there a way to remove that without me removing the mod out of my folder?
Danielle- Creative Girl of Color
I don’t understand what you mean I’m supposed to put the pillows on the bed when it’s time for her to give birth right? I did that and there’s no option for her to give birth with the pillows on the bed.? I even called the expensive midwife and the midwife kept saying they couldn’t get to the bed also. The mod is not working I will try to remove some more stuff from my mods folder but right now it’s also glitching out and it’s making some weird movements when they’re doing the swaying back-and-forth!
Nevaeh Hayes
Wow LMAO!!
**Update** the midwife finally came back and she really was arrested bcuz she's a dealer 👀
Sooo I have an interesting funny situation... Having my first birth with this awesome mod and everything is going well (except the father keeps leaving😤 smh he will be dealt with later lol), the midwife came, hung around, checked dilation and everything.. perfect. Now, I do have Basemental's mods and while mom is doing exercises, walking, etc, I noticed the midwife would go outside to smoke; not sure exactly what she was smoking though👀. Then a police officer showed up; I was focused on mom so I didn't see exactly what happened but I saw him and the midwife leaving and they both disappeared off the lot. I'm assuming she got arrested for something, but now mom can't give birth bcuz the midwife is gone lol Is there a cheat or something to get another one? 🤣
PandaSama
The bed cannot be used when a birth pillow is placed on it. Temporarily remove the pillows until your sim is ready to give birth
PandaSama
If the call option isn’t showing up it means the mod is not installed correctly and not because of old versions. You will know it’s installed correctly if you can see the child birth mod under BOTH custom content and script in the mod list on start up.
Danielle- Creative Girl of Color
Just downloaded the mod and my sims keeps saying it cant get to the Bed or deliver the baby even tho there is plenty of room?/
PandaSama
do a file search to get rid of the old versions from your mods folder https://www.patreon.com/posts/70565996
I don't have the home birth option, I downloaded it like I usually do
Quin Jacks
I have the same issue.
Hello, I just downloaded this and the "call the obstetrician" option does not show up in the second trimester. I checked multiple times in all the ways you listed to see if I missed the old version, but I got all of it cleared away. What else can I do?
Miyako
I love your mod so much that i just couldn't wait had to have it while it was still early release. <3
