@Nozladi I'm merging your post with another thread. I tested this yesterday and could duplicate the issue on the OPs save.

Yours does sounds slightly different as with OPs save moving in via social is possible. It's just try for baby or adoption that doesn't work but it sounds like the same issue otherwise.

When you deleted the dog, was your household at 6 Sim only or did you add another Sim instead ?

On the OPs save it was a particular Sim causing the issue but I couldn't find out what the issue with her is.

@crinrict Once I deleted the dog, the Household was at 6, yes; 2 teens, 2 children, and a cat. That opened up "Try For A Baby". Once I got pregnant I should have still had 1 occupancy slot. Does that make sense? It was odd the social "Join Household" would not work at all. I was going to try again today to see what would happened. Didn't get there. I'll try tomorrow and report back.

    @Nozladi Yes, that's what OP was seeing too and I did too in their game. 6 Sims works, 7 doesn't. I was able to narrow it down to a particular Sim in the OPs game (the Sim wasn't pregnant).

    Could you try the following to figure out which Sim it is (I can't check your save as you're on console)

    1. Backup your save in case anything goes wrong
    2. Start with the female Sims/Pets
    3. Remove the first Sim from the household and add a random other one in instead (you can do that by any means, I found that cheating is the easiest by using testing cheats and use add/remove. If you're working on a backup of the game, this shouldn't be a problem for your achievements)
    4. Check if they can try for baby.
    5. Repeat for every Sim (reload original game after you checked a Sim) until you can try for baby even at 7.
    6. Once you found the culprit, please upload to the gallery and post the name here.

      @crinrict  I moved my Sim in with Nina and Dina Caliente. Got Nina's romance up with someone. Moved Nina into Violet's house. Violet's home had the 2 teens, 2 children, a baby, and a cat. When Nina invited her new partner over, "Try for a Baby" was open. Moved Nina back home in Oasis Springs. Moved Violet back into her home and got a partner. "Try for Baby" is NOT an option at all. It's not even there to grey out. Still with 2 teens, 2 children, a baby, and a cat. Her name is Violet (as I mentioned in the post). Not sure what her issue is. lol lol  Somehow, she is registering as 2 people I guess. She is not pregnant. I'll go through the process of saving her to the gallery ASAP.

      @crinrict Okay so I did what you said and it is my girl! I loved her out and another girl in and checked to see if he could try for a baby with her and he could even though i have a full household. Also one of my cats died, i'm not sure if that matters but if you were wondering why it's not 7 that's why.

      My name on the gallery is MelodiVoltage and it is uploaded under Reeley and the caption says glitchy sims.

      Thanks you so much for your help!

        @MelodiVoltage Thanks. I'll check her out later.

        I got a few question for your all

        1. Are you playing rotationally ?
        2. If you do, did you ever get a neighborhood story for them being pregnant ?
        3. Has the SIm that's bugged for you ever been pregnant ?
