The baby boom is over. EA has neutered a bizarre bug recently introduced to The Sims 4 that erroneously marked Sims as being pregnant, irrespective of whether they were male or had previously engaged in 'woo-hoo'.
The bug initially appeared last week, slipping undetected into the game in a base game patch that coincided with the launch of the new Enchanted by Nature DLC. The bug indiscriminately identified random Sims as being pregnant, while also seemingly breaking everything else related to pregnancy. Baby bumps were flattened, pregnancy tests vanished from the shelves, and despite my earlier assertion, these phantom pregnancies never seemed to produce simulated sprogs.
