Pregnancy Overhaul - Pregnancy Belly Size Part
Pregnancy in The Sims 4 is a beloved gameplay feature, but for many players, the default belly progression can feel a bit one-size-fits-all. Whether you are aiming for a more realistic pregnancy journey or a subtle fantasy twist, the Pregnancy Overhaul - Pregnancy Belly Size Part offers the perfect solution. This dedicated add-on gives you complete control over how your Sim’s belly grows, shrinks, and evolves across all three trimesters and labor.What Does the Pregnancy Belly Size Part Change?
This mod is straightforward yet transformative. It directly alters the mesh size of the pregnant belly at each stage of pregnancy. Instead of the standard EA progression, you can choose from four distinct visual styles. Each version is carefully calibrated to ensure a noticeable difference without breaking the game’s animation rig.The Four Belly Size Versions Explained
The mod provides four separate files, and you should install only one at a time. Here is the breakdown of each option:- Small: This is the most dramatic reduction. The 1st trimester is 60% smaller, the 2nd is 50% smaller, and the 3rd trimester plus labor is 35% smaller than the default.
- Small Slightly Bigger Belly: A softer reduction for those who want a petite bump. The 1st trimester is 40% smaller, the 2nd is 35% smaller, and the 3rd and labor stages are 25% smaller.
- Small 1 Trimester Only: This version only affects the first trimester, making it 40% smaller. The 2nd and 3rd trimesters remain at the default EA size, which is great for early pregnancy storytelling.
- A Bit Bigger Than EA’s Belly: For players who prefer a more prominent bump. The 1st trimester is 25% bigger, the 2nd is 15% bigger, and the 3rd is 10% bigger than the standard.
Compatibility and Game Versions
This add-on is designed to work with the latest patches of The Sims 4, including the base game and all recent expansion packs. The mod does not rely on custom scripts, which makes it highly stable across updates. However, it is always recommended to check the mod creator’s Discord for the most up-to-date compatibility notes. The mod supports all standard pregnancy interactions, though some animations like the "Feel Baby" interaction might not align perfectly with the smaller belly meshes. This is a minor visual quirk, not a functional break.How to Install the Mod Correctly
Installing the Pregnancy Overhaul - Pregnancy Belly Size Part for The Sims 4 is a simple process. Follow these steps to ensure everything works flawlessly:- Download the mod file from a trusted source. Ensure you select only one of the four belly size versions.
- Locate your Sims 4 Mods folder. This is typically found in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.
- Place the downloaded .package file directly into the Mods folder. You can place it in a subfolder for organization, but it must be within the Mods directory.
- Launch The Sims 4 and go to Game Options > Other. Check the box for "Enable Custom Content and Mods."
- Restart the game completely to ensure the mod is loaded properly.
Remember, you must not install more than one belly size version simultaneously. Doing so will cause a conflict, and the game will likely default to the EA size or cause visual glitches.
