The Sims' newest patch has brought on a being pregnant epidemic, even when they've by no means had 'woo-hoo'
The Sims 4‘s newest growth, Enchanted By Nature, has stayed true-to-form by messing up unrelated components of the sport. On this case a great deal of Sims at the moment are being marked as pregnant by the sport, even when they’re male and have by no means woo-hooed of their digital lives.
The bug is not affecting each participant however is widespread, and looking out into the assorted locations Sims gamers talk about such issues launched me to a whole bizarre world of being pregnant questions. Reminiscent of: is the grim reaper truly one thing of a Casanova?
“The grim in my final save was… let’s simply say I wouldn’t be stunned if he wound up with a number of child mamas,” says CuriousCatSleuth. “I caught him with a number of totally different girls whereas they’d no matter type of a relationship they might have.
Why do gamers need to have so-called “grim infants”? Solutions on a postcard to EA tech assist please.
When Sims are being erroneously marked as pregnant they’re, oddly sufficient, unable to take a being pregnant take a look at. In addition they do not get older and are unable to woo-hoo even when they’ve by no means woo-hooed earlier than. And yeah… it is not simply age-appropriate and feminine Sims who’re getting pregnant.
This has had some amusing penalties. Over on PCG’s sister website GamesRadar+, Anna Koselke bemoans that her poor vampires are ravenous. Vampires aren’t allowed to feed off pregnant Sims, you see, so a world stuffed with them is sort of a buffet beneath lock-and-key.
EA says it is conscious of the problem and is “actively investigating points associated to Sim being pregnant, together with lacking being pregnant checks, child bumps, & interactions.” However there isn’t any repair but. Nor do many of those pregnancies appear to lead to any precise infants: “the being pregnant simply would not progress,” says a shell-shocked Tofutits_McGee, including that the “life simulator sport determined to not simulate a core element of residing.” The Sims crew continues to work on “resolutions for pregnant Sims.”
