The Birds and the Bees 1.0.0 - Release

You can find this mod on the home page of this website

Mod Compatibility

• Supported Game Versions: 1.67 and higher
• Expansion Packs: None

Mod Conflicts

• Possible conflicts with OnikiKay’s Kinky World (KW) since it adds revamped reproductive system. Since this mod is non-adjustable, moodlets will run alongside KW’s moodlets.

Issues

• There are no adjustable settings
• Reproductive Sentiments will be reset to defaults upon game exit
• Not every sim spawned in-game will get reproductive organs - notably NPCs (e.g., sims without households)
• With Nrass’ Story Progression, when couples announce pregnancies, the actual pregnancy may not occur depending on the couple’s current fertility
• This mod will override any pre-existing fertility settings dictated by other mods and the base game. The best mod and settings to use in conjunction with this mod is using TwilightStorm’s Passion and setting the Pregnancy Chance to “100”

What is “The Birds and The Bees”?

The Birds and The Bees is a standalone mod that offers plenty of social, relationship, and pregnancy enhancements along with the inclusion of a Menstrual Cycle, Birth Control, and many more.

Do you want your Sims to have a Menstrual Cycle? Or use Birth Control for WooHoo? Maybe you want them to feel something towards their pregnancy?

Enjoy new new social interactions, new mechanics, custom moodlets, new objects, and enhancements to existing gameplay.
