[FIXED] Neighborhood Stories: Pregnancy settings are getting ignored

[ Edited ]
★★ Pro

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.85.203.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, City Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons, Snowy Escape, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Realm of Magic, Tiny Living, Vintage Glamour, Courtyard Oasis, Dream Home Decorator, Cottage Living, Kids Room, Toddler Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Incheon Arrivals, Fashion Street, Blooming Rooms
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Wait for Neighborhood Stories phone calls about trying for a baby. Keep checking the Neighborhood Stories notifications.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims become pregnant who should not be able to become pregnant according to settings, including: sims with "cannot become pregnant" set in the custom gender options, and sims who can become pregnant but are in a relationship only with a sim who cannot make others pregnant.
What do you expect to see? Game checks whether a sim can become pregnant, and whether any of their romantic partners are capable of making them pregnant, before allowing them to become pregnant via Neighborhood Stories features.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The first Neighborhood Stories update (stage 1, phone calls)

 

A previous bug in the Eco Lifestyle phone call about trying for baby causing male sims to become pregnant, which seems to be the basis for the Stage 1 Neighborhood Stories phone call, was fixed:

Perhaps a similar fix could be implemented here?

 

Edit By Crinrict: Fixed Duplicate Template, adjusted title

Edited- removed elder pregnancy

 The Have a Baby Neighborhood Story will no longer cause pregnancies for Sims that are listed as unable to become pregnant in their Gender Settings.

Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

Re: Neighborhood Stories creates impossible pregnancies

@mightyspritesims Elders already have a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Neighborhood-Stories-Elders-having-babies/m-p/11260174#M207017

Think same gender pregnancy have also been mentioned somewhere already. Can't find the thread atm.

Could you please edit your post to make this about the settings only.

When my female Adult Sim invited her Girlfriend, the girlfriend was pregnant, allegedly by my female Sim. My Sim is not capable of getting other Sims pregnant. This option is turned off. Also there was no call, if she and her girlfriend should have a Baby, while I was playing another household.


Actually a simillar kind of Bug occured with the father of my Sim Girl. Her Father is Morgyn Amber, who ins not capable of getting other Sims pregnant. But when I played another household, there was a call, where his Wife asked, if they should have a Baby. Now they have 4 natural Children. Three of them resemble Morgyn.

Edit: Now they have two children without my Doing...

@Nireigam was this through neighborhood stories or through talk about expanding family (can't remember the exact interaction name) ?

The phone call has a thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/quot-Try-for-Baby-quot-Call-From-Fertile-Sim-Even-Though-Spous...

With Morgyn Ember it was the "Try for Baby" Call, but with his daughter and her Girlfriend there was nothing. The Girlfriend was just suddenly pregnant, after I played another Household. The two women don't even live together.
And for my played Households, the neighborhood Stories are disabled... The Girlfriend lieves in a Household, which isn't played by me, so her Neighborhood Storys are enabled. But she shouldn't get pregnant by a Sim of my played Households, espacialy if this Sim is not capeble of getting other Sims pregnant.

@Nireigam Just trying to figure out which thread to merge this into.

Could you check the neighborhood stories to see if one of them accounts for the pregnancy ?

my lesbian sims get pregnant and have babies when I am playing another household

★★ Novice

This is the third family that I am playing with the lesbian sims getting pregnant and having babies. I play multiple families in my game and I have noticed that when I am playing a family my lesbian sims in the other families have babies. Some of the couples don't even live together! They were just dating and when I went back, her girlfriend had 3 of her kids and was pregnant with their fourth. And now I have another lesbian sims pregnant with her fiancé's baby and once again they don't even live together and I was playing another family for less than 2 sims days and this happened!!!

Can someone please tell me how this is possible and how to abort the baby?

And can someone please fix this??

 

Thank you.
