The Sims' latest patch makes some children appear pregnant, players say

The Sims 4 players are reporting that some in-game children now have pregnant bellies, following the game’s latest patch.

Several posts on The Sims’ reddit from over the past 24 hours report the issue and provide visual evidence, showing young Sims strutting about with a baby on board.

“Umm guys…” one player wrote. “My kid is pregnant…” Wrote another: “Since today’s patch all the male children in my game have pregnant bellies.”

It’s unclear what new bug has caused the issue, or how widespread the appearance of pregnancy has spread.

The bright side here is that these young Sims are only appearing pregnant, rather than actually having their in-game status set to give birth. As far as players can work out, the issue is simply a visual one – though still, bizarre.
