The latest patch for The Sims 4 is bringing the nightmare of pregnancy to random people in the comedic life simulator. Coming alongside the game's latest expansion, Enchanted by Nature, the pregnancy bug is spreading throughout the game, and no one is safe.
While not every player is not privy to the nightmare of every person in their game becoming with child, those who have the bug are finding a large number of Sims randomly marked as pregnant.

Across the game, Sims are now randomly carrying a mini-Sim inside them. This doesn't just include female characters or those who have Woo-Hoo'd the entire village. In fact, the pregnancy pandemic is affecting virtual virgins and – if you can believe it – even the men.

Unfortunately, it's not even just adult Sims who are randomly becoming pregnant as one Reddit user found out. The Sims 4 may technically be a life simulator, but I think there's some elements of life that are best left out.

Sims who are marked as pregnant in The Sims 4 are more limited than some gamers may think. Once a character is pregnant, they can't Woo-Hoo anymore, they won't age, they can't take a pregnancy test (?) and they also can't blow out the candles on their birthday cake because of the aforementioned not-ageing thing.

Enchanted by Nature was, by its own merit, designed to allow players to screw with the natural order of things. However, it seems that the update has done so unintentionally, and many are unsurprisingly unhappy that their characters are now randomly knocked-up.

Hopefully, a patch will be released sometime soon, and some kind of magical baby removal. I'm sure some people will disapprove of that.
 
Bruh... Im not even disappointed, just disgusted. Hopefully is is actually a bug and not a planned feature.

Well, I guess we all knew that The Sims ended with The Sims 3.

When you create a sim, there are a number of check boxes available like "can this sim get pregnant?" and it's obviously just been erroneously flagged "yes" for everyone. Being that the new expansion that just came out introduced an entirely new playable sim type, I expect nothing less than the entire create a sim system to get fucked up.

This is a great big nothing burger. Welcome to game development.
