EA has confirmed that developers are working on several bug fixes for The Sims 4 after the most recent major update caused a number of issues related to pregnant characters. The game's community is currently gearing up for the release of the Enchanted by Nature expansion for The Sims 4 on July 10, which will also bring some requested fixes to the ever-popular title.

At the beginning of July, The Sims 4 received a major base game update, which introduced an inventory overhaul, a new layout for the Notebook, and several other improvements and new features related to housing. As with other patches, the update also brought plenty of bug fixes, including many related to character animations and weather. While the fanbase has reacted positively to the many changes this patch introduced, many have also reported numerous problems related to pregnant Sims ever since its release, with developers now scrambling to find a solution as quickly as possible.

Players have taken to the EA Forums to report several issues with pregnancy in The Sims 4, with many claiming that the option to take a pregnancy test isn't appearing. Additionally, others say that their pregnant Sim's baby bump suddenly isn't visible, and for many, the "Try for Baby" option simply isn't appearing. In the game's official Discord, the developers stated that they are currently looking into these issues and promise to roll out a fix as quickly as possible. While it's unclear if the problems will be fixed alongside the release of the Enchanted by Nature expansion, EA has confirmed that two persistent issues related to the hobby board and cleaning will be addressed on July 10.

Following the release of the game's newest fantastical expansion pack, a free base game update will be coming to The Sims 4 on August 19, though the contents of this patch remain unknown. Recently, many fans of the popular title have spoken out about time-gated content, with many in the community asking EA for more options to obtain The Sims 4's limited-time items without needing to sign on for each and every event. It's unclear whether the developer will ever overhaul the current event system.

While The Sims has been the king of life simulators for years, a new challenger recently appeared, with Krafton's InZOI surpassing one million copies sold in its first week. While the early access title has seen its player count drop significantly since its release in late March, upcoming patches and a full release may be enough to stir up engagement once again, with the game earning praise for its hyperrealistic graphics and customization options.
