The July 1st overhaul for “The Sims 4” unveiled several thrilling modifications; yet, it also brought about numerous glitches that made pregnancy significantly trickier. Players found themselves unable to administer pregnancy tests or use the “Try for Baby” feature. EA acknowledged a resolution in progress before the latest expansion pack’s release, but it seemed to take some time to locate a solution. Now, a fresh update for “The Sims 4” has surfaced, guaranteeing to tackle these bothersome problems.
Today, July 16th, the awaited patch has arrived for “The Sims 4” gamers. This new update aims to restore the Sim pregnancy functionality to its original state before the Base Game Patch on July 1st, 2025. The update’s patch notes are concise and straightforward, as it primarily focuses on rectifying the pregnancy-related issues that were introduced in the last major update.
As reported by The Sims 4 team, the recent update mainly serves to reverse performance optimizations that were causing unusual pregnancy behaviors in the game. Consequently, your Sims can now perform pregnancy tests and try for a baby again. Additionally, the correct display of baby bumps has been restored.
Users of mods are advised by the EA team that problems related to pregnancy mods may be addressed with this new update. But remember, updates can sometimes affect mods in unexpected ways, so it’s always wise to check for any updates from the creator of your specific mods. This particular patch is designed to revert previous changes, which should minimize the negative impact on mods compared to larger updates.
New improvements are being made soon, focusing on toning down the excessive health issues that Sims with the “Enchanted by Nature” trait are experiencing. As of yet, there’s no confirmed release date for these updates. In the meantime, Electronic Arts recommends adjusting game settings within “Game Options” to decrease the occurrence of ailments.
