1 puddle will appear when your Sim's water breaks.

I saw that in an XML the other day and wondered why they didnt use it. Good to know changing it works.

I had something with the water breaks before update 1.6/1.7 update messed up my game and I had to start over. I thought it was something that was in the game already.

I am using Twallan's Story Progression, which is a script mod, and I don't think he changed or did anything with the pregnancy part of the XML. I do like having a longer pregnancy cause I try to get much done with the pregnancy books and visiting the hospital, asking a doctor to tell the gender of the baby... etc.

Thanks for sharing.

Note: Claeric, are you making a mod to turn on the water breaking only? Just in case I have a problem using this mod.

Great mod! I have always had a 'pregnancy mod' in my game with no issues. I like that yours has more of a choice of days, plus with the option of 'gender choice'......my Sims always seem to have girls.
Thankyou very much, I am looking forward to trying your mod in game

Youre welcome! I'm glad you guys are enjoying it! Again, if you have any requests or you want the mod tweaked, just PM me and I can make the changes for you

LewisB40- Twallans mod will not interfere with this mod. You were correct, his mod is a script and this mod is an XML mod

Claeric- LewisB40 is right, if you have a file that ONLY edits the water breaking puddles in your game and you try to add my mod, they WILL conflict. Just make sure you only have one file in your mods folder that edits anything to do with pregnancy

All of my other mods are hosted here if you wanna take a look

Hmm.. Ive never tried lol BabyGirl asked the same question I have a longer sim life mod installed, so that I don't have to play with my aging off, as I ALWAYS did in TS2 because my sims would just age wayyy too quickly. Here is the mod that I use: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=354452

There are many different flavors you can chose from, with graphs and everything to show you how long your sim lives and the differences between the files I haven't had ANY issues with it, or it conflicting with any other mods You can also go into 'options' in your game and change your sims lifespan there to suit your needs from short to long, etc. You can also do this with this new mod installed

Hope this helps!

Thanks,i really like it!
but one thing,how can i set the maternity (yes i spelled it wrong i guess) clothes? because when my sims are pregnant the game automatically choose the clothes for me and then while the sim is pregnant im not able to set other outfit.
so where and how do i set the maternity outfit?
Thank you very much ;D

There are two different ways to do it. First, if you have a core mod like AM or a script mod like Twallan's super computer. These type of mods allow you to edit your sim in CAS. While editing them, change your pregnant sim's clothes to ones that are maternity enabled. Then save it. When CAS exists into your game, your sim will have her belly in her new clothes This is also a good way to find out what clothes are maternity enabled and which aren't.

Another way that you could do this is when you are trying to get your sim pregnant, make her default everyday clothes to a maternity enabled outfit. Then when her little bump shows up or the game informs you that she is pregnant, she will stay in that default outfit and won't revert to EA's ugly maternity clothes

So this doesn't work with any other pregnancy mod? Because I am also looking for a teen pregnancy mod to use but if it is impossible to have both, then I would choose this one.

Yes it does work with teen pregnancy mods. I suggest you download the one by TwoFtMama at CrazyTown. I know for sure that her mod and my mod are compatible. You can get it here: http://www.the-isz.com/theisz/index.php?showforum=251 She has a lot of different versions to choose from. Some enable Same Sex pregnancy and some mods add autonomous Try for a baby, etc. Just read the descriptions carefully and if you have any questions.. post on her thread

Thanks! I tried AshKitty's variation, and the Sims' bellies never got fullsize with her mod--this one works fantastic.
