Expecting parents will once again be able to “Take Family Leave” via their phone to take time off from work.
Fixed in Patch 1.51.75
With the new update, I have no idea how to take family leave. I believe it used to be on the phone under the job tab, but now I can't find it.
there's currently a known issue with this.
I've merged your post with current bug report.
Please click me to on the first post.
Thank you for your report.
This is the first time I've ever had a pregnant sim so thought I might be doing something wrong. I have the base game, holiday celebration pack and romantic garden installed. When my pregnant Sim got to the 3rd trimester she received the notice that she could take family leave, but there was no option to do so anywhere in the phone items. She is in the Tech guru career, but hasn't reached the branching part to choose a path yet.
At the time, the baby's father was unemployed (they're married and living in the same household, if that matters), with the bestselling author's aspiration. No job was registered with the ministry of labor. He did get a job while she was in the third trimester, but he didn't get any notice about family leave (he has not actually gone to work yet, either, so that may be the way it works). She went into labor shortly after he registered for the job.
They're now home from the hospital, and neither has an option to take family leave. Both have "find a job" or "quit job" as their choices under work.
I cleared the cache, repaired the game, and same results.
Edited to add: I have no CC or mods; never used
Reporting this bug as well.
One parent in Tech Guru, the other was Mixologist. This also happened to me on a completely different save game as well.
Edit: Tech Guru parent received the warning about going back to work because family leave was ending soon. So, it seems the game automatically puts you into family leave (once you receive the notification) but there was no visual indication, and it still let me go to work during that time frame.

I was returning to add this bit of info, too - It seems that when it tells you that the sim is eligible for family leave, it marks the sim as "on leave" as far as the counter is concerned. However, in my case, it still sent my pregnant sim to work. I even called in and took a vacation day the day before she gave birth, but it sent my sim to work anyway. After giving birth, both parents (the Tech guru mother and Writer father who had never attended work yet) received 4 days off. (Edit again - not certain, I may have missed that they were the usual days off during this time. Subsequent births did not receive any time off before or after birth) I didn't attempt to send either to work during this time, and they stayed home. Then it announced that the family leave was over.
I would like to add to report an issue with the title Family Leave issue
It seems that every time my sims get pregnant they are given the option for family leave and yet the option is not available in the sims phone.
if this can be resolved i would greatly appreciate it.
