    in PC / Mac - Bugs & Gameplay Issues
    I notice my sim is glitching whilst pregnant. She won't age while pregnant yet her hubby continues to. Has this been fixed? Is anyone else having this problem?

      Yes, I posted about it here a while back but I don't think anyone else chimed in. It is happening in my game too.

      In my opinion, kids age you. Not the other way around. :#

      It's not a bug: it's built into the game that Sims don't age up while pregnant. They will age up after they've had the baby.

      I have the same issue. My sims don't age while pregnant, which is actually a bit annoying because if they have say a totoal of 4 or 5 pregnancies that's between 12 and 15 days not aged and they end up quite a bit younger than their husbands -_-.
      Shhh!

      It annoyed me at first that the wives ended up so much younger than their husbands if there were multiple pregnancies, but I decided if it bothered me that much, I could have the wife's birthday whenever I wanted -- concurrent with husband, day after husband, whatever.

      In sims 3 they would age up once the baby was born if they were set to age up to adult or elder during the pregnancy, but they would still continue to age during the pregnancy itself. Thats not whats happening here. The sims litteraly do not age while they are pregnant. even if they are only mid-life stage. Its a bug. at least if not, then its a crappy way to make the aging work.

      i noticed this and i was worried that my sim would never age. when she gave birth i was so relieved once she started aging again. i feel like ceasing aging only makes sense in the case of an adult sim who is approaching becoming an elder when she becomes pregnant. it doesn't have a place with young adults or adults who are early or halfway through the life stage.

      Okay, so as least I know it's not just me. But I never used to notice this happening. I hope they fix it (if it's a glitch)

      Still having this problem, I never noticed it before, is it for sure normal in the game? Cause it's really annoying :/ She's been stuck at 16 days left (till adult) for her whole pregnancy... as soon as she gives birth, she ages each day again....

      Yes, it's normal. It's not a problem. I've seen a million discussions made about it. Just age her up with a birthday cake when you feel she should be aging up.

      I did the 100 baby challenge. I realized quickly that the mother didn't age while pregnant. By the time that she finally died her oldest kids would be elders.

      I'm not sure how hard it would be to mod it. It'd probably break too much and there's no point in it when you can, as noted, just age them up with a cake when you feel like they need to move on to the next stage.

      You know, I'm pretty sure at least part of the reason a Sim doesn't age while pregnant is to eliminate the risk of her aging into an ELDER during pregnancy. An easier and more functional option would have been to program the game to make it impossible for a Sim to get pregnant if she's 3-4 days away from aging into an Elder... But that's just me.
      Shhh!

      If you're worried about your male sim (husband) getting a lot older than his sim wife, you can just temporarily stop your household's aging. After your pregnant sim has already given birth then you can just set your settings back to default so that both of your sims (husband & wife) are still of the same age :)

      Happy Simminggg o/ :)

      It was like that in Sims 2, you couldn't get them pregnant if they were less then like 5 days from elder.

      I'm playing the 100 Baby Challenge so it's very helpful that they don't age but now her oldest child will be older than her...

      Hello @Skyfri_Himmel. Sims not ageing when pregnant is a part of the game. It is built into the game.

      They Don't age cause It can corrupt the Pregnancy/ kill the baby if they age up while prego

      It's been said way sense sims 2.

      Don't worry about it.

      Just buy the youth potion and have the husband drink it as soon as the wife is pregnant and his life stage will start over and he will still be in the same life stage when she has the baby. If they are still too far apart have them both drink the potion and start them both off the same stage again once she delivers. That will resync them.
