The Sims' latest patch has caused a pregnancy epidemic, even if they've never had 'woo-hoo'

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

's latest expansion, Enchanted By Nature, has stayed true-to-form by messing up unrelated parts of the game. In this case loads of Sims are now being marked as pregnant by the game, even if they're male and have never woo-hooed in their virtual lives.

The bug isn't affecting every player but is widespread, and looking into the various places Sims players discuss such things introduced me to an entire weird world of pregnancy questions. Such as: is the grim reaper actually sbfplay something of a Casanova?

"The grim in my last save was… let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised if he wound up with several baby mamas," . "I caught him with multiple different women while they had whatever form of a relationship they could have.

When Sims are being erroneously marked as pregnant they are, oddly enough, unable to take a pregnancy test. They also don't grow older and are unable to woo-hoo even if they've never woo-hooed before. And yeah… it's not and female Sims who are getting pregnant.

EA says and is "actively investigating issues related to Sim pregnancy, including missing pregnancy tests, baby bumps, & interactions." But there's no fix yet. Nor do many of these pregnancies seem to result in any actual babies: "the pregnancy just doesn't progress," says , adding that the "life simulator game decided to not simulate a core component of living." The Sims team continues to work on "resolutions for pregnant Sims."
