    @AceJuly28 At what point did you remove your mods ? Does that include Cc ?

    Do you just not see it or it's not in the household panel either ?

    @crinrict So when I first seen it happen, I immediately took my mods and cc out assuming it was something to do with MCCC. Tried again a few more times and still no baby!

    There is no baby in household panel or family tree.

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by clicking on the dots in EA app.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    @AceJuly28 Did you end up doing a factory reset like @crinrict suggested? I'm having the exact same issue as you and have tried about every solution in the book except this one. I'm hoping you had some luck?

    @crinrict I did your suggestion of doing a new game/save with a random couple and it seemed to work, even with cc and everything... I then went back to my problematic save and it's still doing the same thing of my female sim freezing at the hospital/not giving birth and going back to normal/as if she was never pregnant in the first place. I have 7 sims total in my household, with one of them being a dog. Not sure if this is the problem/a weird glitch?
