Pregnancy Test

Update 4/4/2025
Thanks to @murkoose for their Russian translation and to @Symbolism for their French translation!


TL;DR:
A conversion of The Sims 4 pregnancy test to The Sims 3.

Why does this mod exist?
One special milestone for many during their pregnancy journey is taking their pregnancy test. This interaction was included in The Sims 4 and I thought it would be a great addition to The Sims 3. The ultimate goal was to add a lightweight mod that would allow players to use the interaction along with or without other mods to support everyone's playstyle.

What does this mod do?
When sims have completed a WooHoo or Try for Baby interaction, a new interaction Take Pregnancy Test (§15) will appear to allow sims to take a pregnancy test. The actual interaction will be similar to using the toilet as normal with a pop up after stating if the sims is pregnant or not. The interaction will disappear after 24 hours if the sim has not taken the test. This is also when a sim will start showing and receive their pregnancy moodlet in the game by default, if they are pregnant.

FAQ
There are other mods that add pregnancy tests. Why create another?
Yes, there are a few different mods that have pregnancy test. Some great examples include MonocoDoll's Menstrual Cycle 1.0.0 & Mingos' The Birds and the Bees. Those are amazing and I fully recommend checking those out. This mod is a standalone pregnancy test without changing how pregnancies are determined.

There are a couple of packages, what is the difference between them?
The file descriptions and titles should help select which one to add your game. They all use the same code and are just configured using an XML file. Guide to file naming: MF = Male and Female F = Female only TeensAllowed = Teens are able to use the interaction

Why can't I see the pregnancy test interaction?
The interaction will show up if a sim participates in WooHoo or Try for Baby interaction or becomes pregnant and passes the gender and age checks for the version installed in the game. The interaction will only appear once, so if you have taken the test the interaction won't show up until the sim participates in another WooHoo or Try for Baby interaction.

What does this mod not do?
This mod will not change how a sim becomes pregnant. Examples: this mod does not add teenage pregnancy or allow pregnancy through a WooHoo interaction. Those functions would need to be added by a different mod.

Does this remove the pregnany chime from the game?
No, there are other mods that already do that. I've included one in the recommended mods below. If are using the chime, you can still use this interaction for storytelling purposes .

Recommended Mods
Mods that I would recommend playing this with include:

• Mixed Feelings About Pregnancy by lizcandor.
• No Pregnancy Chime and No Woohoo Harp Sound by jonha.
• Woohooer by Nraas

Future Plans
There would be potential to add a pregnancy test object and have sims go to the grocery store to purchase one before they take the test, but I like the simple nature of the mod in it's current state. Maybe a future add-on but no promises.

Known Issues
There has been a report that the Pregnancy Test interaction did not show up on the toilet. I'm currently looking into resolve this, a workaround currently is deleting and repurchasing the toilet or saving and restarting the game.
