@Sannuli211 wrote:Hey! I just noticed an issue with my current save game. On this save I play multiple households rotationally. I have the new neighborhood stories feature enabled for all of my unplayed household (as it was in default when I first launched the game after updating it). I also set up some of the neighborhood stories options for a few of my played households. So, I was playing one of my households and I go to check the neighborhood stories thing on the mailbox and I get a pop up saying that one of my sims in one of my played households is expecting a baby (I don't have the neighborhood stories enabled for that household) and in this household I have a married couple (a male and a female sim). I know for sure I didn't make them woohoo the last time I played them so there is no way she should be pregnant. I have never had anything like this happen before and I have played this same save file rotationally for years. Is this just a new feature that came with the neighborhood stories update? Or is it a bug or something? I really don't want my sims getting pregnant while I'm not playing them (I didn't even plan on that couple to ever have kids but I guess there is nothing I can do about it now). Is anyone else having this issue with rotational play? Is there anyway I could prevent this from happening since I have other married couples in this save and don't want them having kids randomly.
Ps. I don't have any mods or cc installed and I have the latest game update.
Edit: And if anyone knows of a way I could get rid of the pregnancy / child I'd like that since they weren't suppose to have kids 🙂
Edit 2: I just had this happen a second time with another couple in the same save file. I turned off all the neighborhood stories for all household (played and un played). This is such a bummer since I really like the whole idea of neighborhood stories but don't want to use it if it messes with my own households ☹️
Your issue is with Neighbourhood Stories not working correctly. I made a bug report on it.
Look here - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Can-t-disable-Neighbourhood-Stories/m-p/11365891#M209421
I wrote in that bug report thread on how to make Neighbourhood Stories obey your settings. On page two of that thread. Should fix your settings at least.
To remove the baby just let it starve.
I looked up your post on how you fixed this issue. However it did not work for me. I did it exactly how you described it in your post but I had the same thing happen to me as before where in my other played household (one that didn't have neighborhood stories enabled) one of my sims got pregnant without me doing anything.I sent my save file to the Sims 4 team and they said that they would look into it.
You definitely have something else affecting your game than Neighbourhood Stories then if switching it off completely in your settings isn't stopping pregnancy. The other fresh new game I said to start was the one where you have it completely switched off in both game settings menu as well as world map, so if that other game still got random sims randomly pregnant this is not anything to do with Neighbourhood Stories.
Are you certain you don't have mods installed?
