Cannot Have Science Babies with Sims Outside Household
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, all game packs, all stuff packs, Bust the Dust Kit, Country Kitchen Kit, Throwback Fit Kit, Courtyard Oasis Kit, Industrial Loft Kit, Fashion Street Kit, Carnaval Streetwear Kit, Décor to the Max Kit, Little Campers Kit, Desert Luxe Kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have three sims in one household: two blood-related, the third married to one of the first two. All three sims have at least one friend outside the household. Then have any of the three sims use the phone interaction "Have a science baby with..."
What happens when the bug occurs? Either of the two blood-related sims will have the option to have a science baby with the third sim, even if they are below the "friends" threshold. The third sim will have the option to have a science baby with either of the first two. None of the sims will have the option to have a science baby with a friend or romantic partner outside the active household (this includes roommates as being outside the household).
What do you expect to see? Sims should be able to have a science baby with any other sim they have a high enough relationship with.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Infants/science baby patch - and I removed all mods prior to the patch
I do not currently have any screenshots showing that the sims have the relationships I said they did, or that they have friends outside the household, but I can go back in and take some if that would be helpful somehow.
