Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)What is your current game version number? 1.108.335.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of themSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It's unclear what causes this issue but something is corrupting certain pregnancies. It's possible that it's twins/triplets birth only.What happens when the bug occurs? When the Sim is due to give birth, an LE occurs and there is no baby. The game asks multiple times for the name of the babies. They are not all the same gender which does point towards multiple babies. It doesn't matter where your Sim has the baby (hospital, rabbithole hospital or at home)What do you expect to see? One or more babiesHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? NoI also tried having the baby while playing another household. This does result in a baby but when switching back even days later, the Sim is still pregnant. If you then have the baby at home too, you do end up with a baby.

@vaniesteh I'll keep an eye out for other reports.If it's isolated, I wouldn't worry about it :D

@vaniesteh Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?Best is to delete the ones you have, then trigger the error and check if new ones are created.If that is the case, please upload them to a new post in this thread.Please either create a .rar file to upload or copy/paste the content into your post. Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Uploading the file is meant for troubleshooting.

@vaniesteh Could you try buying 3 cribs in advance and see if that helps ?

@vaniesteh Would you be willing to share your save with me ?If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

@vaniesteh Somehow the game can't create the crib with babyI tried to play another household for a while and that actually produced a baby but when switching back to her she's still pregnant and the 3 baby messages occur again.You do end up with a baby that way though.Since you play on normal, the baby age span is very short so the message that it's aging up is fine, I would say unless it actually ages up right awayI can't say if there's going to be any more errors in the game if you just do it by playing another household. The problem Sims to be the creation of the baby in the crib.Did you make the Sim pregnant or was it through some neighborhood story ?

Hi there,
I've encountered one of the issues mentioned in this thread twice:
My sim is pregnant, everything goes fine until she gives birth.
One bassinet appears (since I didn't buy one).
She gives birth to triplets and I'm asked for their names (always 1 boy and 2 girls).
But then the crib remains empty. There's no addition to the family. It's like my Sim had never been pregnant (but the bassinet stays).
This issue appeared with the latest updates (07/23/24 and after), since I never had it before.
No CC or mods ever - MAC user
Thanks in advance!

Hi @crinrict,

Thank you so much for replying so quickly!

I did have 8 LastException files and I deleted them.

I played again, the same thing happened, so here's the content of the new LastException file:

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not working either.

All 3 bassinets remain empty and my Sim goes back to her normal body.

Also, immediately after this "birth", I get a pop-up saying it's time for the first baby's birthday (only 1 pop-up, for 1 baby, no mention of the 2 others). I've always had this pop-up since this bug started.

Below the content of the new LastException file, in case it brings something new (I followed the procedure you mentioned and deleted the older one before playing).

@vaniesteh Somehow the game can't create the crib with baby

I tried to play another household for a while and that actually produced a baby but when switching back to her she's still pregnant and the 3 baby messages occur again.

You do end up with a baby that way though.

Since you play on normal, the baby age span is very short so the message that it's aging up is fine, I would say unless it actually ages up right away

I can't say if there's going to be any more errors in the game if you just do it by playing another household. The problem Sims to be the creation of the baby in the crib.

Did you make the Sim pregnant or was it through some neighborhood story ?

Hi,
It's a brand new game and a brand new household I started a few days ago (I have many other games/saves) and it was initially a wife/husband couple.
She became pregnant naturally, but then he tried cooking and accidentally died in a fire 😒
I've just tried again and the baby still doesn't appear in the household, my Sim is still alone after the birth, and the crib is empty and unclickable, BUT I can see one of the triplets and his dead father in the family tree.
So, he has some kind of existence. It is indeed created, but not as playable character in my household, just... some baby in my family tree.
About the "birthday message", it does appear the second after the birth, which is a little suspect.
Maybe I should just wait for a future patch before playing with this household again. I haven't played with it for hours, so I'm not invested in the story lol
I would just add, even if I don't believe it's even remotely related, that I also have a problem in this household with the Juice Fizzer that refuses do anything else than "Clean". It used to work fine and then, all of a sudden, it stopped working around the same time she became pregnant I think.
Thanks a lot!

@vaniesteh Did you play a different household while the birth occured ?

Like switch to some random family and let the game run for like 1 day, then switch back.
