The WooHoo in The Sims 4 is a unique interaction first introduced to the series with The Sims 2. WooHoos can be carried out between two romantically involved Sims, regardless of gender, and are usually indicated by a set of flairs on-screen (such as fireworks and hearts).
WooHoos are beneficial to Sims, boosting both their Social and Fun motives. However, they can decrease your overall Energy and Hygiene to some extent. You can also make your Sims choose the "Try for Baby" option if required.
The WooHoo animation is suggestive but not explicit and usually involves your Sims disappearing behind some furniture (or even leaves) as sparks fly (literally).

50–Mile-high-club: How to WooHoo in a Rocketship
To unlock the "50-Mile-High-club" achievement in The Sims 4, you must WooHoo in a Rocketship. This naturally involves purchasing a Rocketship first, such as the Steampunk Flyamajig ($5000), which must then be built and prepped for launch.
Next, have your two Sims stand near the Rocketship, and select the "WooHoo with…" option after you click on the spaceship itself. After the interaction ends, the 50-Mile-High-Club achievement will automatically unlock.
Alternatively, it is possible to use the Rocketship at the GeekCon festival (located at the Planet Honey Pop! bar in the Fashion District in San Myshuno on certain Tuesdays) instead. Simply head to the ship and WooHoo with your Sim to avoid the hassle of building the rocket in the first place. Keep in mind that this requires the City Living expansion pack for your Sims 4 install.
What would it be like?: How to WooHoo with a Ghost
The "What would it be like?" achievement allows your Sim to WooHoo with a Ghost. To begin unlocking this rather curious achievement, you must be familiar with a Ghost. Proceed through your relationship with the Ghost to reach Familiar or Romantic relationship status.
Next, simply head to a favorable spot to "WooHoo With…" and begin the deed. The achievement will unlock shortly.
WooHoo!: How to WooHoo 50 unique non-player Sims
Unlocking the "WooHoo!" achievement requires some extra effort, as you will have to unlock a total of 50 WooHoos in the process. Thankfully, this process does not require you to WooHoo 50 NPCs using a single Sim.
In short, any Sim in a household can WooHoo NPC Sims (who are not part of that household) to add to the counter and ultimately unlock this particular achievement. This will take time (and patience), so be prepared.
What to do when Sims refuse to WooHoo
Not every WooHoo is guaranteed to be a success, especially in the intial stages of a relationship. Once rejected, you can go and apologize to your partner after the Embarrased Moodlet expires.
You will have better chances at a WooHoo if both of your Sims possess postiive Moodlets and/or have Romantic relationships to begin with.
WooHoo in The Sims 4: Try for Baby and Mess Around
Try for Baby
Try for Baby is only available if partners possess the Become pregnant and Get others pregnant perks. The Try for Baby option will be displayed during a WooHoo if these two prerequisites are met, with a base 80% chance of success.
Mess Around
Mess Around is an alternative version of WooHoo that is exclusive to teenage Sims. It is slightly less explicit than the regular WooHoo, and remains the only option available until both partners become Young Adults.
Unsatisfying WooHoo and Death by WooHoo
Unsatisfying WooHoo
In certain cases, it possible to gain the Unsatisifed Moodlet after a WooHoo. This is in addition to the Poorly Performed Moodlet as well, which results in the Embarassed perk for a few hours.
To avoid this, it is recommended to keep your Sims energentic with Positive Moodlets, and remove negative status effects as soon as possible. However, there is always a (small) chance to obtain the debuff.
Death by WooHoo
Also known as Death by Exhaustion/Overexertion, the Death by WooHoo occurs when two Elder Sims attempt the act. This is more likely to trigger after your Sims overexert themselves (after say a session at the Gym). Attempting a WooHoo in this state will result in death.
