EA’s latest The Sims 4 patch is making everyone pregnant, including the men and the chaste
how?!
Okay, this is something I'm going to have to test. This article left me with more questions than answers, especially when the writer claimed that pregnant sims can't woohoo or take a pregnancy test. I can't tell if they mean since this patch pregnant sims can't do those things, or if they haven't played the game enough to know that those things are false. The fact there's a question mark in parentheses doesn't help.
Also, the screenshot showing a child not be able to do something because they're "pregnant" doesn't necessarily mean the sim is pregnant - it could well be a bug related to how the menu is displayed, which sounds possible since it seems to be occuring across the board. The article is about sims being pregnant, but not about them having babies, and I find that an odd distinction.
But I have this game, and the patch is already downloaded. Let's see if I'm a lucky winner and this bug shows up.
To game for science!
Edit: I tried with a fresh, new, mod-free game file. I tried with an old game file both with and without mods. Alas, I was unable to recreate this glitch in my game.
The title alone is amazing
are more limited than some gamers may think. Once a character is pregnant, they can’t Woo-Hoo anymore, they won’t age, they can’t take a pregnancy test (?) and they also can’t blow out the candles on their birthday cake because of the aforementioned not-ageing thing.
It looks like a curse
Lol. Dudes in Sims world are about to get real on board with abortion rights.
Can we get this ported over to RL?
Rocket League?
peak woke
Honestly, not even that bad lol
well i though older The Sims series can get pregnant too if you're abducted by aliens, so.... what's wrong with it ?
Men could get pregnant in Sims 4 for awhile, I think. I guess the bug is it that neighborhood stories aren't working and checking if someone is in a relationship and has the 'can be pregnant' tag.
Yup! But I think men had to be abducted by aliens and he'd show up preggo with an alien baby some days later.
I don't think it was possible to impregnate women sims this way, but I may be misremembering.
They added a toggle at some point when creating a sim so you could be a male who could get pregnant, if you wanted a sim to be a trans man, for example.
At least I think that's vanilla. I have so many mods its hard to remember anymore.
Sorry. That was me.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time? I swear I've seen this headline year(s) ago.
This is unironically the future the West is perfectly fine with, if not wants. For young men to scream and strike their fathers, to play pretend rather than taking up arms to defend their land. When this sort of madness takes the throne and rules over the land, who will be spared?
We must protect our society from this sort of debauchery, for people like this will target our sons and daughters with their rabid ideology. We must be willing to fight to the last drop of blood, against the barbarians that have returned in modernity
wtf?
It's a copypasta.
Copypasta
Who the fuck wrote this?
Never pegged The Sims for being so Puritain.
Also Woo-Hoo is a term used in the game.
Is pegging?
Asking for a friend.
I'm aware. Just funny that you can't have sex for fun apparently when you're pregnant.
There are a lot of euphemisms in The Sims so they can keep their T rating, with sex being called woo-hoo probably being the biggest one. The other big one I can think of is that alcohol is referred to as "Juice"
I don't think the Puritans had any issue with pregnant people having sex.
I assumed they were generally against the concept of sex not strictly for the purpose of reproduction.
