[FIXED] NPCs Sims almost always having twins
Preface: I play with the base game and GTW expansion. No mods. I have two separate households where I'm actively planning children. One household, a wife/husband, has had one set of twins (boy/gir...

I know my inactive only had one child whereas I had twins too when the bug was around.
Did you make the new couple in the same save game or started a new one ? Also not sure if you stated: Have you ever used mods with that save game ?
Seems to be the bug might have flipped then? From active to inactive? *shrugs*
The father with all the children is on a new save. The other couples are on a 4+ week old save.
Found an "alien" and got the Father pregnant just to see what would happen. The father had one baby, the "alien" mother had twins. All of the children appear to be human. I was curious if alien/human made any difference -- it doesn't seem to.
Strangely enough, when I went to play the father again tonight, he had lost all of his traits and all of his friendship/romance meters were about a 1/4 of what they had been -- some were completely blank. He even had to reintroduce himself to a bunch of people. But I suspect this is a separate bug altogether as I've seen the latter happen on a different Sim.
I've never used any mods (haven't even looked into how to install them). I only play with the base game and the GTW expansion.
Could you try renaming your user folder for testing purposes and let the game create a new one. Then start another new game.
Wonder if some cache files are bugged out.
Renamed my save folder and started fresh. Created "Dude Bro" and tried for baby the first single woman he ran into. She called 3 days later to say she had twins.
She was dark-skinned and I've noticed the babies seem to be somewhat inconsistent when they are twins. With my other guy, he has light tanned skin, black hair, and green eyes. One of the mothers has very dark skin, black hair, and brown eyes. Her twins with him were as pale as the palette goes and one had red hair and blue eyes; while the other had pale skin, black hair, and green eyes.
So it doesn't appear to be a cache issue.
EDIT:
I got a response to this same topic on another forum and others have been reporting the same issue. One said her Sim's kids have all grown, married, and had babies and each of the 3 kids all had twins when they gave birth while inactive.
Really strange indeed.
EDIT: New thought on this but maybe the randomizer kinda locks up. It's a bit like the issue where you get the same household structure for new families over and over. There's no logical explanation for that cause all should have the same probability so what if once you have a certain structure, it just keeps repeating that ? Really just fishing in the dark though.
