I know that this was previously addressed several patches ago but the issue is ongoing. In fact, for me at least, the only change that I've seen post patch is that now it's not just my Elder (spayed) cats who are coming home pregnant, but now the Adults. I do use an obscene amount of mods and cc but they don't seem to be the cause of the problem. The problem started during a point when I was not downloading new mods/cc and what I did have installed was not interfering with the pets in any way. I have no mods exclusive to pets and the cc I do have for them was all downloaded before the issue began  and had no impact in the game other than what it was supposed to have. 

This is the third cat I've had return pregnant when spayed. The first time, it was an Elder cat who came home pregnant with twins on two separate occasions. The second time was one of the offspring of the first cat. She came home pregnant 3 times as an Elder. And now, this adult racoon (completely unrelated to the others) is coming home pregnant. I'm sure the frequency of this would be higher but not all of the cats I've had have had the Free Spirit trait and it's an issue that seems to be exclusive to that trait. I get my cats spayed specifically because I don't want surprise kittens so I would very much like this fixed.

    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
    What is your current game version number? Good Question/Sims 4
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Parenthood, Tiny Living, Blooming Rooms, Pastel pop, Everyday Clutter, Cottage Living, City Living, Dream Home Decorator, Get to Work, Nifty Knitting
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a cat spayed and wait.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The cat goes into labor and gives birth. She (I'm filling this out for my roommate) names the kittens, and they are added to the household. Brought cat back to the vet and have the option to un-spay cat, so the game clearly thinks she's been spayed. Cat has given birth twice now while supposedly spayed.
    What do you expect to see? Spayed cats should not keep getting pregnant while spayed.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

    She says she has some custom content, but it should not be affecting her cat because it is mostly clutter and clothing/hair for human sims.

    @Catfaerie4 I haven't played for hours in a while and it takes a long time for animals to go into heat. I saw somewhere in this thread that a person told them to play the game with a fresh folder/no mods, then came back quickly asking if the problem still exists.

    Is it expected to play for hours, waiting for animals to get pregnant? That seems excessive. If EA plans to fix this, they need to do the troubleshooting since they're paid to play it nonstop until they see the problem (kittens/puppies) pop up. Agree?
