Sims 4 'try for a baby' not working for same sex couple

I am currently controlling a household of two married women and I already adjusted their settings for one of them to be able to impregnate others and for the other woman to be able to get pregnant. The 'Try for a Baby' option pops up when they're talking and when I click on their bed but it never goes through. The option cancels itself and they never try for a baby. This is frustrating because I wanted to try out that option with a same sex couple for the first time in the Sims and now it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

  • Are you using mods ?


    Is there enough space on either side of the bed ?

  • I am using mods, and there is space on each side of the bed, but am experiencing the same issues.

    @lulumi2209. It can be explained in a number of ways: your household is already full; the sims are already pregnant, there is something the matter with the bed they use, if you changed the settings in game like the OP in this thread etc. 

    But the reason for the question on mods is that the first step should always be to exclude their influence. And depending on the creator's decisions some mods can be very pervasive and will effect a save even if the mod folder is removed and cache cleared; so trying in a brand new user folder is recommended:

    In Documents\Electronic Arts find your The Sims 4 folder and rename it (example: The Sims 4old); and launch your game. A new folder will be created without any of your saves, mods etc. Create a new couple in CAS, making sure their settings each are Able To Impregnate/Able To Be Impregnated; and with them Try For Baby. Let me know how it goes. 

    Here is a longer explanation on what resetting the user folder means:
