With this mod, the virtual world of The Sims 4 will mirror reality more closely than ever before, adding a medley of enhancements for Sims to experience love and family-building. Explore some of the most exciting things this mod brings to the table, like the addition of realistic moods and emotions, expansions for adoption and artificial insemination, and even a brand-new online dating app.

1 Teenage Pregnancies

Benefit: Allows Teenagers To Get Pregnant

Morgan Fyres, a teenage Sim from The Sims 4, has wound up pregnant and has to tell her father. These new moodlets are from the Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Mod.

There are a handful of existing mods that enhance teenage Sims and allow them to get pregnant, but few bring as much to the table as Lumpinou's mod. Pregnant teenage Sims will receive a variety of new moodlets due to the overwhelming responsibility of becoming a parent. Players may even receive phone notifications from random NPCs to shame them.

Control how the parents of the pregnant teen will react to the news of their child's pregnancy. The parents can choose to either support their teenager or kick them out of the household.

2 Adoption Expansion

Benefit: New Developments For Adoption & Adoption Criteria

A Sims family has to make the difficult decision to put their child up for adoption with the Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul mod.

It can be a difficult decision to put a child up for adoption. Both parents must first have this conversation before deciding to contact an adoption agency or add them to a different household. The Sim can even specify the reason for giving the child away, such as family pressure, poor finances, and self-doubt.

Rather than calling the adoption service, choosing a child, and having it essentially shipped to the house, Lumpinou has added new criteria for adoptions. Sims must fill out an application and be approved to adopt a child. These children are allowed to look for their biological parents if they choose to in the future.

3 The Effects Of Cheating

Benefit: Provides Realistic Sentiments & Reasoning For Cheating

Octavia confronts her husband Thorne after discovering he has cheated on her. Clips show the added sentiment and talk interactions with the Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Mod.

Whether it's planned or not, Sims are often prone to cheat on their partners. With the base game, the partner will shout forbidden words and receive an angry mood buff and that's the end of it. It's much more engaging and complex with the Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Mod.

Sims will receive a negative sentiment about their cheating partner with different reactions based on how they were cheated on. Confront their significant other and demand for them to explain themselves. They can give reasons like boredom, intoxication, or lack of love. Sims can apologize for having cheated, but their partner ultimately has the choice to forgive them or not.

4 Separations & Breakups

Benefit: Includes Options For Temporary Or Permanent Separations & Custody

Octavia demands a temporary separation from her husband Thorne after learning he's cheated on her. The Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul Mod has added lots of new interactions for this category.

Sims can break up with their partners or get a divorce with the base game, but it is very cut and dry. In addition to the new sentiments and interactions about cheating, this mod gives players the opportunity for a temporary separation from a Sim's relationship. After taking time to heal, choose from various new options for reconciliation, like "Promise to Change" or "Attempt Peaceful Discussion About Issues."

Those looking for a more permanent separation can choose to amicably or angrily separate from their significant other indefinitely. Ex-partners can "Ask to Go Stay Somewhere Else" and "Blame for Relationship Problems." Add even more realism to the process of splitting apart by deciding terms for custody of children. Determine if and when each parent will get custody visits and who will pay child support.

5 Fertility, Birth Control, & Protection

Benefit: Adds Options For Birth Control And Fertility Statistics

Sims can buy protection and contraceptives to keep their woohoo-life safe and healthy. This is all possible with the Relationships & Pregnancy Overhaul Mod.

Upon their creation, each Sim is automatically assigned a fertility statistic with a five percent chance they will be infertile. By clicking on the Sim and selecting the "Relationship, Family, And Pregnancy" menu, players can alter several different statistics such as fertility to their liking.

Fertile Sims who have decided against being pregnant or having children for the time being should explore options for birth control and contraceptives. Purchase "WooHoo Protection" from a Sim's computer or laptop or explore hormonal birth control options. Sims on birth control may experience side effects like nausea and headaches.

6 Artificial Insemination & Surrogacy

Benefit: Alternate Pregnancy Options

Lily and Victor Feng from The Sims 4 are able to have a child and are discussing options for surrogacy or artificial insemination available because of the Relationship & Pregnancy Overhaul mod.

A base game update near the release of the Growing Together expansion allowed players to have a science baby as an option for having a child. This option, however, is very impersonal and unrealistic because the parents simply disappear through a rabbit hole and reappear with the new baby.

To expand on this gameplay aspect, the Relationship and Pregnancy Overhaul Mod adds options for Sims to choose donors for artificial insemination and surrogacy. With this mod, players can replicate realistic storylines about struggles with infertility. Same-sex couples can also benefit from having more options to have genetically related offspring.

7 WooHoo-Transmitted Diseases

Benefit: Adds Consequences For Unprotected WooHoo

When another Sim would like to woohoo in one of the many different woohoo locations that The Sims 4 offers, they should be sure at least one of the two consenting adults has protection. If not, there could be consequences for their health.

On top of realistic sentiments and moodlets, this mod adds a number of woohoo-transmitted diseases (WTDs) with realistic uncomfortable symptoms. As mentioned previously, Sims on birth control pills can prevent pregnancy, but not WTDs. Sims with multiple partners are also at risk for WTDs. Check up with a WooHoo Wellness Doctor to ensure everything is in working order and get treatment if needed.

8 "Meet & Mingle" Online Dating App

Benefit: A New Way To Start & Build Relationships

Thanks to Lumpinou's mod, Sims now have the chance to meet singles in their area online. Open the phone tab to find the "Meet & Mingle" app, where players can customize a profile for their Sim. Include preferences like turn-ons and turn-offs to find better matches. Specify the type of relationship the Sim desires between the options: hookup, short fling, serious relationship, or platonic connection.

Write custom taglines to make the profile more appealing and unique. Browse online profiles from NPCs in the game and select one to go on a date with or set up a blind date for a random experience.

9 Realistic Pregnancy Symptoms

Benefit: Adds Pregnancy Reactions, Food Cravings, Mood Swings, And More

Pregnancy is a blessing, and it's also a very real and difficult process for a family to go through both physically and emotionally. To make this exciting moment of a Sim's life more realistic, this mod offers many custom moodlets and reactions. Instead of the base game's happy mood buff over three trimesters, the pregnant Sim will react according to their desire for children and pregnancy.

Sims may experience food cravings for sweet or healthy foods, which can be easily satisfied by eating them. With the surge of hormones flooding the pregnant Sim's body, they may experience mood swings that cause them to be extraordinarily angry or sad. The added weight of the baby will likely make them experience back pain, which can be soothed with a massage from their supportive and loving partner.
