Any pregnant sim not in active household will go into labor but not give birth

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get together, city living, cats and dogs, seasons, spa day, parenthood, kids room stuff, movie hangout stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This bug occurs only in sims not being played who are pregnant.
What happens when the bug occurs? When a sim is pregnant, if I am not actively playing them, they will go into labor after three days and remain in labor until I enter their household to play them. If I visit the sim in labor at their home, bassinets will begin to spawn around the pregnant mother but she does not give birth. Pregnancy works fine for my active sims.
What do you expect to see? Sims marked unplayed giving birth on their own and then their children showing up in the game.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I got several sims in the neighborhood pregnant and then left the household, marked it unplayed and went back to my active family. I figured that the babies would automatically be born but like five sim days later realized it hadn't happened. I had my sim visit a pregnant sim and her mood was very uncomfortable. While I was visiting, many bassinets started spawning in the house. I figured that maybe it was my fault for trying to make her have a baby then marking unplayable. I went into the household and she gave birth. However a premade family, the Bheedas appear to be pregnant upon beginning the game but I have never played her so she never gave birth. I had a few bits of custom content but I did a vanilla play with the mod folder removed, thumbnail cache deleted and the game "repaired" through origin. Just downloaded the game a couple weeks ago. I've attached a photo of the spawning bassinets.

    My original save works now as well so I was just able to continue playing that one :-)
