I have a couple expecting their first child. I got notifications for both sims that they can now take family leave. But there is no longer an option on their phones to take family leave, where it used to be. I have only had this problem after the latest update and the Get Famous EP.

Edit to add: mother is in the cullinary career, father is in the style-influencer career.

Expecting parents will once again be able to “Take Family Leave” via their phone to take time off from work.

Fixed in Patch 1.51.75

Since the get famous update I’ve been experiencing a few problems one of which being that my sims after getting the notification saying they can now take family leave once the mother reached that point in the pregnancy. Has the option been moved or are other people experiencing this as well?

HI @MythicalEmma

this might be a bug. Haven't had a chance to test this

I merged your post with an existing thread.

I have tested this now and it works fine for me.

So question to everyone:

• Which career is your Sim in ?

Hi, again. I had this issue as well.

The pregnant sim is a painter and the father is a writer [both got fame stars] – doesn't let you take family leave before or after the birth. Notification to say I could use family leave, but not option on phone. Another, protocol, notification a couple of days after birth saying I cannot take any more family leave, but I hadn't used any days.

My sim is pregnant again, so I will let you know if the option disappears or not.

I can confirm that it happens again, on second pregnancy as well as first.

My SIM Daddy is in the gardening career, no family leave option is available, they've had the notices. I did notice that all the work stuff has been moved to its own tab and the option to 'call in fake sick' wasn't available until after my SIM was awake. I thought maybe the option to take family leave would appear if he was awake, that's the only reason I noticed that was different too.

My sims are both entertainers. (And I saw someone else mention fame stars, both are 5 star celebrities)

With the new update, I have no idea how to take family leave. I believe it used to be on the phone under the job tab, but now I can't find it.
