Ideas
Also to add on to this, my sim was able to take a pregnancy test and become pregnant BUT afterwords it would not progress her trimesters (ie the pregnancy would not advance to the final stage, but just kept stating "Eating for two" with no time located on the moodlet indicating when the pregnancy would enter the next phase). I went ahead and forced her pregnancy to the final stage and attempted to have her baby at the hospital. My sim attempted to have her baby by interacting with staff at the hospital - nothing would happen.
I ended up sending her home and buying a bassinet for her to deliver into. After delivering into the bassinet the baby just disappeared (literal poof).
Oof, LackadaisicalLun , so sorry your Sim's pregnancy didn't work out. I know they're all imaginary, but we get attached. Reading your story, I was worried so I went back in and played through the pregnancy with my Sim. Luckily, I did end up getting to keep the baby Sim.
Weirdly, when I first loaded back into my save, the toilets didn't have the pregnancy test option again. I tried upgrading one of them (my Sim mom-to-be is at full handiness so it didn't take long) and then the option appeared again and I took it to confirm to her that she was pregnant. That gave her the option to share big news, so she and her partner both knew she was pregnant for sure.
I didn't cheat ahead any of the progress, and she went from first to second to third trimesters as normal, and in the third trimester she got a baby bump as expected. The moodlets had the time to the next pregnancy stage as usual. I am just wondering if taking the pregnancy test actually is what sets those moodlets in motion properly. Anyway, finally she went into labor, and had the baby at the hospital.
I was worried because after I did Check In At Front Desk by clicking the receptionist sim, nothing happened for awhile, she just kept waiting in line. Just stood there for rather a while! I actually tried doing Check In At Front Desk Again, but that action never went down into the active queue part, because the game was still workin' on the first one. From what I could see, the receptionist was the only NPC at the hospital besides the other patient behind us in line. My sim's partner got bored and wandered away.
But eventually a doctor showed up at the hospital, I cancelled the second attempt because the first one ended up working, the pregnant Sim followed her to a surgery bed, her partner stopped playing video games on the doctor's computer on the other side of the dang hospital and ran into the room, the pregnant Sim tossed him her camera, and little Evan was born.
The baby was immediately sent home to their house, with no message as to where he went. So he never appeared in the hospital room and I was worried. The game put his bassinet in an empty kids' room on the second floor and he was there when the parents got home. He's doing well and is cute af.
The dad had never touched a camera before this day, soooo.... Gnome photobomb.
Luckily the Screenshots folder in my game's folder structure had the underlying image of this, because it's a really cute pic. But the gnome photobomb is funny. That's why I love this game. W H I M S Y! But yeah, please fix the pregnancy bugs.
