Summary
- The latest Sims 4 update introduced a bug where children appear pregnant, freaking out players.
- This bug may be mixing up adult and child body presets, causing visual issues.
- Weirdest bug ever.
How often have we seen an update or a patch completely break an unrelated feature in a game? It’s pretty common actually, and almost expected. A major update or DLC may result in inventory issues, balancing problems, or just some good old open-world jank. However, the latest update for The Sims 4 has resulted in a rather disturbing bug.

Along with the rest of the content in the update, the burglar was reintroduced into the series after 16 years. We all remember how anxious the burglar’s music used to make us, but maybe it will be better this time, considering that everyone’s finding her hot. However, this hot burglar came with a horrific new bug, pregnant children.
Someone Needs To Have The Talk With Maxis
After the update went live, a number of players were freaking out about young Sims walking around with baby bellies (thanks Eurogamer). It’s unclear how the update has managed to introduce this particularly squeamish bug, but, thankfully, it seems to be only a visual issue, as the in-game children’s status does not show that they are pregnant.
Weirdly, this isn’t even the first time this has happened. “This is not the first post I’ve seen about pregnant kids after the update, unfortunately. How? How do they always manage to mess up?” noted one comment.
In an attempt to explain this issue, another player pointed out, “I think the overall bug is that they’re mixing up adult and child body presets somehow. One in my save is very muscular suddenly and I saw another one with the classic beer belly + narrow shoulder combo. Really hope they fix it soon.”
It seems that the bug is mixing up body types for children somehow, resulting in a number of players seeing these young sims with big bellies that make them look pregnant. Hopefully, Maxis will issue a fix for this immediately.
