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.

Did you get a chance to try above ?

Hi, sorry I was on a trip so couldn't try it out earlier.
So tried it out (forgot the repair the game step). When I went on the new save, i tried it out and unplayed sims gave birth! The two I made get pregnant and then the Bheeda household who is pregnant at the game's start. So I went and put my old game back in including my cc and mods (I have 3, MCCC, a random trait chooser, and a do not disturb bees one). I went in my game, played for a second, and babies were born! But then i had Bella Goth get pregnant and kept playing and several sims got pregnant through MCCC and none of them gave birth after like 5 days. I had my mods in when I played by previous save after the reset so I'm not sure why it worked for a second and then didn't work. Could it be possible that one of my mods has a delayed effect that is breaking something in my game? I only have three though and in my first trial when I removed them all my unplayed sims still couldn't give birth.So basically your fix worked originally in both the reset game and playing the old one again but when i continued playing it did not work. Do you think it is because I didn't do the repair my game step?
