The latest expansion for The Sims 4, Enchanted by Nature, has been enchanting its characters a bit unnaturally in the process. And it’s not the first time this has happened.
The error is making Sims pregnant, whether or not they participated in a steamy “Woo-Hoo” session, and it’s affecting just about everybody. That’s right, even male and child Sims are being hit with the pregnancy bug.
The bug could be written off as silliness if not for the fact that Sims are unable to age while pregnant, which is a bit of an issue if you have a youngster and are looking to age them up through gameplay. Sims can’t even take a pregnancy test either with the bug, so it’s a bit of a mess.
Some players are reporting that repairing the game’s files works to fix the issue, but players on console unfortunately do not have that luxury and are stuck with impregnated Sims, whether they wanted them or not, until a fix is deployed.
The funny or sad thing about this whole fiasco is that it’s not the first time this has happened, even in 2025 alone. A patch this past February was somehow giving child Sims adult body types, thus swelling them up and making them look pregnant.
But as a recent Reddit post detailed, the game is registering kids as pregnant and are thus unable to do things like blow out the candles of their birthday cake and make a wish, stunting their growth. So, this bug seems worse than the one from earlier in the year.
It appears that The Sims 4 is still playable for now, but players whose saves are affected by the bug may have to report their issues on the forums and hope for an update, lest they stay stuck faux-impregnated forever.
