She has Family-Oriented, Neat, and Cat Lover. And I just figured out he has the Hates Children trait and the Sim I tried on the first time around had the Non-commital trait. Does this mean they aren't capable of even wanting to Try for a Baby?

So I did a work around that would be super annoying if you had to do it every time. I placed him on a lot and changed his Hates Children to Romantic and then I made him go over to her place and Try For a Baby and that worked. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch because the 100 Baby Challenge is about to get 100x harder if this keeps happening

I think it was just those traits you can no longer casually try for a baby

I'm not sure that the traits a sim has make much of a difference whether a sim gets pregnant or not with Try for Baby. Try for Baby does not always cause a pregnancy every time. The default pregnancy chance setting is 80% so you just might have been unlucky with the two sims involved and it just might take trying several times or more. But I do know that sims with those traits can get pregnant or cause a pregnancy as I have sims with those traits that have had kids in my main save.
The negative hit on romance does come from the traits and I think it's from the Hates Children trait. Non Committal sims just usually give you trouble when asking to marry as they will turn down proposals a lot.
Hope this helps.

It's not getting pregnant that is the problem, it's getting them to even try for a baby
