Can't enter build mode after a sim gave birth

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.93.146.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Toddler Stuff, Tiny Living, Snowy Escape, Seasons, Perfect Patio Stuff, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Nifty Knitting, My first pet, Laundry Day, Island Living, Get to work, Get Famous, Discover University, Dine Out, Cottage Living, Cool Kitchen, City Living, Cats and Dogs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not too sure, I don't even know how I came across it myself
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't enter build mode due to an "active" sim giving birth when there isn't.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to enter build mode when a sim is clearly not giving birth.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I updated my game to the recent free patch and only just now dealt with this bug

My sim was in labor when I was controlling my other sim while he was on detective duty, I switched to the female and had her go to the hospital alone and when she was done and home with the baby I switched back to my other sim to finish his shift. Now he's home and I'm unable to enter build mode as the game is still considering that my sim is still in fact giving birth when she's indeed for sure not giving birth and they can interact with the baby. It won't let me save my game to restart and I can't do anything else.

  • @Disillusioned0 I don't think there's any other options than to (force) quit the game and re-do everything since you last saved.

    When you try again, I wouldn't advise switching back to an active career. Might be better to just go to the hospital with your Sim.

    Make sure to save shortly before you do in case it goes wrong again.
  • @crinrict I did just that, still wanted to make a bug report in case it happens again or in a different way so I can update y'all

    @Disillusioned0 Can you duplicate it if you do the exact same steps ?

    Please remove all your mods/cc as well. If you don't test a bug without mods/cc it's not clear what causes it.
