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

Yes it was happening prior. i have only had the game for about two weeks, I started playing it right after seasons was released. I tried in a new file but only after removing my cc, got eliza pancakes pregnant and waited it out, and she didn't give birth. That's what the screenshot is from, a new save. I did the delete thumbnail cache and repair game after that (cause I hadn't heard about it before) and then went into my old save to see if anyone would give birth but they didn't. Would it make a difference if I went into a new save after having done the delete thumbnail cache and repair game?

Depends what's corrupting the save. Haven't seen any other report on this either.

Have you tried renaming the entire folder and then start a new save ?

    Basically this:

    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 right clicking on the game in Origin.

    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 ....
    • 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.

      I've tried this again in my game and the baby was born as it should.

      Did you get a chance to try above ?

        Moving this to tech for further troubleshooting.

      Hi im having this issue, and I thought about reinstalling the game as well but i dont have an external drive to put my saves ☹️ could i still do it? i have a duplicate of my saves and mods folder in my documents just in case already..

      everything is backed up through icloud, is that good enough?

      That's fine. Even on the same hard drive is fine.
