Why are sims 4 significant others always absent for their child's birth?

I'm fine with the way birth is in the game. I would hate it if they made it more realistic. The hospital births are classic Sims chaos with things going wrong.

Exactly. They can’t get too real and keep the T-for teen rating, and besides I love the classic sims humor of the contraption and the mishaps and the silly reactions. I play to escape reality and while some realism is great, it’s also fun to have some unrealistic elements too in order to keep things lighthearted and fun. It’s a life simulation not a life duplication.

I greatly prefer the Sims birth to the absolutely disgusting and alien-like process that are real births...
