Re: Can’t have more than one baby

It sounds like your game may be glitched. Have you tried:

1. Clear your game cache and delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder to help with troubleshooting. Try the save again.

2. A Sims 4 factory reset -

Rename your Sims 4 folder to Sims 4_Backup. The game will create a new one next time you play.

- Renaming it or moving it to the desktop will help you have a backup and keep your Sims 4 files safe.

Repair the Sims 4 game. In Origin > Game Library - right-click on Sims 4 and select Repair.

Try playing the game, this will create a new Sims 4 folder. Try playing a new save, if everything is playing okay, try playing your broken save. If it's still giving you issues, then do not save it.

However if it does work, then start putting the files back.  (list of files and folders below).

- Options.ini (User game settings)
- Tray Folder (Sims/Houses/Commercial lots and rooms)
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games, if any.
(leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave. It is not used anymore.)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, makeup
- Mods (Put these back one by one to make sure they all still work)

Please do test your mods and custom content, as some of them maybe outdated and either need to be deleted or replaced.

Finding Problem Mods and CC
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS4_Finding_Problem_Custom_Content

The newest game patch broke several mods and custom content. This can happen as we get updates for the game. Players using mods and cc have to go through their mods folder to find what needs to be deleted or replaced. EA/Maxis aren't responsible for broken mods/cc. It's up to the creators to fix.

Try the 50/50 method if you're having issues with mods/cc

1. Move all the mods and cc out into a temporary folder on the desktop.
2. Move a few files back at a time. Load the game to make sure it loads and everything is good.
3. Delete the delete the localthumbcache.package from the Sims 4 folder.
4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 till there is no more files to check.

** While your testing, don't save the game. If you find any problems, delete the mod or custom content file.

If you move or rename the Sims 4 folder, the game will no longer be able to find it. When you go to play the game it will create a new folder.
