The Sims 4 has finally rolled out a fix for the pregnancy bug that's been affecting many players' games. The Sims 4 recently released the Enchanted by Nature expansion pack, which adds a lot of magical and fairy-themed items and cosmetics that add whimsy to Sims' lives.
The Sims 4's pregnancy glitch was first spotted by fans at the beginning of July, shortly after the game received a major base game update on July 1. The update triggered a number of issues related to pregnancy functions in the game, like the "Try For Baby" option going missing when Sims are trying to WooHoo and pregnant Sims' bellies appearing flat, among many others. The glitch also coincided with Enchanted by Nature's July 10 launch, which affected many players' experience of the expansion pack as well.

According to a blog post on EA's site, the issues occurred due to the performance optimizations done during the last base game update, which have since been reverted to fix the bug. This also includes pregnancy-related The Sims 4 mods, which devs stated should return to their pre-update functionality.

Over the last decade, The Sims 4 players have dealt with many bugs that were either frustrating or entertaining. One such example was the bug that made Sims irrationally mean, which caused many fights between characters. The life simulation game's devs have pledged to resolve these issues quickly when they are reported, especially if they are hindering players from having a seamless experience in The Sims 4. Currently, players are having trouble deciding how they feel about the new Enchanted by Nature DLC, with some applauding its unique content and others calling it "bland." Only time will tell if fans of the long-running life sim will come to a consensus.
