Sims may not let you have a baby due to several potential issues. First, ensure that your household isn't at its maximum capacity; the limit is 8 Sims. Next, check that your Sim has a high enough relationship level with their partner. Ensure both Sims are of appropriate age (Young Adult, Adult, or Elder). Finally, make sure there are no technical issues or mods causing conflicts. Addressing these can help resolve the issue.
