[GTW] Males not getting pregnant after abduction

Hello,

I noticed an error with alien abductions regarding alien pregnancies.

Since we can choose whether or not a sim can get pregnant, if a male sim can get other sims pregnant, but can't get pregnant, during an alien abduction, he can never come back pregnant.

But, alien abductions should not count with the gender option, since the sims 2 men can come back pregnant during an abduction.

The alien gameplay is included in the game and is therefore an error by the developers.

I had a lot of trouble getting my sim pregnant until I realized it was because of the option like add, it would be nice to make kidnappings no longer take into account if yes or no a male man can get pregnant or get pregnant.

 My message aims to point out this error since the addition of the genre.

    I have a feeling this bug is related to the other recent pregnancy related bugs.

    I have tested getting a male sim abducted 30+ times in a fresh save, no cc, cache files deleted on each game launch. They have not gotten the usual pregnancy moodlet a single time. Occasionally, CAS displays the 'cannot customize a pregnant sim's gender options' message after abduction, but no baby bump, green glow or moodlet appears. The sims don't give birth even after that message appears.

    I've tested it with good ol' Vlad and a male townie. No custom pregnancy or gender options.

    Platform is PC, playing through Steam.

  • I think this is related to the fact that pregnancy in the game in currently broken, but I've had an issue since this recent patch where my male sim who is in the scientist career will not get pregnant no matter how many times he is abducted by aliens. I've even used mods to try to put the chances of alien abduction pregnancy to 100%, and still nothing. Then I took out my mods to see if it was anything with those, same issue--not pregnant.

    I haven't seen anyone talk specifically about this, so I just wanted to point it out just in case so that this can get fixed along with regular pregnancies.

    I just tested this, it's still unfortunately broken on patch 1.116.223.1030.

  • This is still a bug. Sims just don't get pregnant by alien abduction. They have been abducted for 10 times now. Seeing the chance is 30%. It should have happened by now.

  • Pregnancy will work as it did prior to the Base Game Patch on July 1, 2025

    Fixed in Patch 1.116.232/2.16
