[BY DESIGN] Pregnancy bump "pops" instead of growing smoothly
Issue
Sims pregnancy bumps no longer grow smoothly and instead "pop" from one size to another at the end of each trimester, similarly to pregnancy in The Sims 2. Sims also immediately jump from having a flat stomach to having a pregnancy bump immediately after taking a pregnancy test. They do not react to this at all and I'm convinced that this did not happen when I first started playing the game upon release, as I recall pregnancy bumps growing smoothly at one point (like they do in The Sims 3).

Hello,
I've been told that this is by design and has been this way since Sims 4 released.
