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.

WooHoo has a probability of causing pregnancy. The chance is a number based on the fertility of each Sim involved and some minor other factors.
Both Sims’ fertility is taken into account when rolling the chance of pregnancy, regardless of the bits they have (Male/Male and Female/Female pregnancy is possible if enabled by other mods)
