Can Sims have babies?

NO! Only the Sims PC version allow that so far.

How to get married?

Get your Sim into a romantic relationship with another Sim by clicking on Flirt, Pick up Line, Embrace, Smooch, etc. enough that they become “Partners”. It can be a bit more difficult with some Sims because of their personalities. If your Sim isn’t compatible with the other Sim, it will be lot harder for them to get into a relationship but not impossible. Once you become partners, you should have the option under “Actions” to “Propose”. Being married to another Sim in this game does not mean they will automatically live in the same house. Your Sim have to ask the other Sim to “Move In” before or after she/he proposes to get them to actually live in the same house. Unlike in the Sims 3 PC version Sims moving in will not bring their money with them.

Note: If your Sim reaches the point of being “Good Friends” or “Best Friends” with another Sim they can no longer date without bringing the relationship back down to simply being “Friends.” You can “downgrade the relationship by selecting “Rude” actions until they are back to just friends. So basically when your Sim is friend with another, you have to chose which path you want your Sim to go: either make lots of romantic overtures to take the romance path, or make simple friendly gestures to take the best friends path.

How to get your Sim to Woohoo?

To be able to Woohoo, first your Sim has to be friends with the other. When your Sim get to a friendship status, only use the romantic options. Don’t use “be funny” or” chat”, etc. Stick to flirting, pick up lines, and after a while start embracing. Then a budding romance will start. Stick to romance, and your Sim will be able to ‘hot smooch”.’ The relationship will then become a “date”. Keep using the Romance options. Once the relationship bar is filled half way, go to “Romance”, scroll down and you should see the option to “Woohoo”.

How to slap a Sim?

Get your Sim to be rude and start insulting another Sim until the option to “Slap” shows up in the menu under “Be Rude” when talking to a Sim.
