She also forwarded me a message from TwistedMexican in response to my original question about the legitimacy of ghost Sim pregnancy. But when I first asked if she considered the cheat a half-measure to tide over people who felt nostalgic for ghost babies until a full mod arrives, she was firm on one key point: ghost Sims definitely become pregnant, in some sense of the term,when using this cheat.
