Question
Can sims get pregnant on sims 2 for ps2? Because i tried the other things and they didnt work so i was wondering if you had a cheat or something so they could have a baby?

Answer
You cannot have a baby in the console version, period. It simply does not have the capacity. There is no aging engine nor genetics engine in the console version. If you want your Sims to have children, you need to buy the PC version. The console versions were not made so that sims could reproduce. The Sims 2 for the PC not only has genetics and aging, but you can create custom clothing, items, etc. I've raised 3 generations of Sims now on the PC version. For example, the PC version only has freeplay and you can't make culinary creations like you can in the console versions. However, you can't start a family through normal gameplay in the console versions. It's a give-and-take. =) Also, Sims 2 on the PC uses a LOT (and I do mean a LOT) of memory. This may be why they decided to not include those two engines in the console version as consoles have limited memory and processing power.

Hope I helped! Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Thanks!
Helen =)

Expertise

Ever since I played "Pong" in the early 80's, I've been a video game aficionado. I can answer hardware & games questions about PSP (PlayStation Portable), all PlayStation (1,2,& 3), Wii, Wii Fit, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and antiquated systems (ColecoVision, Atari, Sega, etc). I can answer hardware questions about all systems (including PS1 - PS3, Wii, NES, SNES, PSP, DS, GBA, GB, Xbox and Xbox 360). I can also answer PC game questions, especially CounterStrike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Half-Life 1&2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and all Sims & Sims 2 questions. I am ESPECIALLY knowledgeable in Square-Enix (formerly SquareSoft) games such as ALL the Final Fantasy games (I can even tell you really obscure things about these games). If I haven't played the game yet I will research it and help you find the answer, renting the game if necessary. I can even answer questions dealing with the consoles themselves (hardware questions). I cannot answer questions about Action Replay. I cannot answer questions about football, basketball, or wrestling sports games. I also have very limited knowledge about Xbox & Xbox 360 games unless they are cross-platform. If it is an independent game that has not been widely published and/or a game only released in some countries, I may not be able to help with it either (sadly!)

Experience

I currently am employed as a supervisor for a large, national video game retailer. I am also an expert here in games/roleplaying games, weddings, childbirth, and doulas. My husband is a computer programmer and one of the forefront coders for CounterStrike: Source scripts & mods. He has his own forums for coders/scripters at Mattie.Info. I have been an expert here since 2000 (under the name of Helen Chipman) and also volunteer on numerous other game-related websites and forums.
