Sim unable to become try for a baby or take pregnancy test

My sim is unable to try for a baby with her partner when they have a high enough relationship and have space in their household. The option to woohoo is there but no option to try for a baby or to take a pregnancy test. I have tried removing all mods and cc but still has not worked.

    Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    HI Leahcoop2002​ 

    You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created.

    First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken.

    Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back.

    You will need the following folders

    • Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)
    • usersettings(.ini)
    • Screenshots (if you've taken any)
    • Videos (if you've taken any)
    • ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)
    • Options(.ini) (although I recommend to just redo your settings in the game)

     

    Now test again. If that still works, you can put back your mods. Put them back in groups and make sure they are still compatible with the game.

    All other files are recreated and not needed.

    When putting my saves folder into the new sims folder, I have tried to try for a baby again and the option is gone again. I have't added anything else other than my original household I was playing with.

    Hi Leahcoop2002​ 

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    your male Sim is set to not being able to get others pregnant.

    Do the following

    1. Click on the mirror with the male Sim
    2. Choose 'Change Sim'
    3. Click on the three dots and change the option from neither to get others pregnant and the option should appear.
