[FIXED] Excessive phone calls asking to have babies

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
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? 1.57
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except bust the dust
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have multiple played households including one married couple
What happens when the bug occurs? When I’m playing other families in my rotation, the same person will call over and over again asking if she should try for a baby with her husband even after I’ve said no multiple times
What do you expect to see? The phone call to stop once I say no, or at least not another phone call for a week or so
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest neighbourhood stories patch



I’m not sure I can share my save file with you because I’m on console and I don’t have a usb stick or anything to share files

It’s not giving me the option to fill out the answers for starting a new topic for some reason so I’m sorry about that but I’m on PS4 so no mods and I’m on the latest patch. 

I’m getting excessive phone calls from family members. Specifically the “we’re thinking about trying for a baby” call. 
I have said no MULTIPLE times and she’s called me 3 times today to ask the same question over and over. It’s the same sim and she’s calling multiple family members (I play rotationally)

    Family members will now call your Sim less often to ask their opinion about trying to have a baby (Instead, they’ll just hear the news from their chatty aunt)

    Fixed in Patch 1.96.365/1.71

    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? 1.93.146.1020
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Batuu and a few kits.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play generationally and move your young adult out, whether it's university or regular home. There will be a pop up from your mother, asking if they should try for baby. Also happens from Grandma.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Popup occurs like normal but incessantly, like multiple times a day.
    What do you expect to see? My mother or grandma shouldn't be asking me this!
    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? Neutral/Not Sure 

    I've been playing generationally and in rotation with these sims and the mother and/or grandmother will not stop asking me. Multiple times a day. Please help. What's bugged in my game?

    None of my CC or mods have anything to do with this.

    I'm still getting these excessive phone calls - especially the ones from my sim's mother asking if she should have a baby. Sometimes these calls are back-to-back; I've gotten them 5 times in a row at one point! I'd disable neighborhood stories but I still want my neighbors to be able to move in and out of town. Could there be an option to just disable some or all of these neighborhood stories related phone calls? At this point it's interrupting the flow of my gameplay.

    I'm seeing this a lot too. I thought it was trait related, since they made traits have more influence over our sims (I don't remember exactly what the patch notes said, or when this change was done). So far, all the sims calling about babies are Family Oriented for me: Bella Goth, Lilliana Kealoha, Clara Bjergsen, Octavia Bailey. They are all calling my current sim every day asking the same question. I tell them no every time, they keep calling. I've now stopped answering when I see these otherwise lovely ladies are calling. Its just way beyond annoying at this point.

    Only solution I see right now, to get rid of this spesific call, is to remove the Family trait from these pre-mades. I never use the trait myself, families is not my main focus, although I do play families a lot. Some tuning or another has certainly hit the roof with this one.

    I don't currently have a mod-less save to share. Just thought I'd chime in anyway
