This woman abviously not pregnant, right? “RemovePgegnancy” cheat is not working, because she is not pregnant

But a minute later she suddenly gave birth! And I can’t do anything about it! I’m tired of going through my neighbors and removing everyone’s pregnancy status; it turns out it doesn’t always work. Maybe because I’m using this cheat so often, the game is confused about who’s pregnant and who isn’t. I don’t want every family in the city to have many children, especially since I play with everyone rotationally. It was better when they couldn’t give birth because of a bug, at least I could control them, and when I wanted them to give birth, I used “have a child with science”. It looks like I’ll have to abandon this save and create a new one, continue playing as one character, completely ignoring what’s going on with my neighbors. Rotational gameplay is simply impossible if they’re giving birth so unrealistically uncontrollably.

That’s very strange. Thank you for reporting it.

Can you please upload the affected save file here? Is this an older save or did you start a new game very recently?

This is the savefile I’ve been playing since 0.5.1

I’m playing on rotation and I’ve had quite a few unwanted births, but the problem hasn’t occurred for a while now.

It’s not the same problem as yours, but in my game the neighborhood girls were having a lot of children, they would finish one pregnancy and get pregnant again right away. I clicked on Edit Town, then on Manage Town and in the Maximum Population option I dragged the slider to the minimum. After that, they stopped having so many children, now families have only one, at most two children. Try doing that, maybe it will help.

Thank you. I will try this later

I will try this! Thank you. I also play rotationally, and my gameplay routine has unfortunately become a frantic check-in with each family every in-game morning for unwanted pregnancies. On an average 2-hour gameplay session, I am typing “removePregnancy” cheat about 5-6 – sometimes up to 8 times! It’s getting annoying and feels terrible.

This bug really isn’t manageable in any way. I used to have various unwanted pregnancies in my two big, rotational save files but 1-2 patches back, the issue seemed to slow down and even seems solved atm. I’m still checking on all households in every save every other in-game day, but so far no unwanted pregnancy has come up :thinking:

Meanwhile I have the opposite problem where my non active families dont have babies at all! Can we switch games lol.

I had that happen in many games.
I actually HAD to play cupid all the time (ie: making them do it) to create a baby boom.
Where other players keep complaining that they couldn’t stop them from making babies lol
(which btw, just remove all queen bed from houses and zois will NOT have babies).

I hope they revise that sometime, or give us a slider about how often they want babies
Empty slider would be no babies, full slider would be as many as they can, they’d do it right after the wife gives birth.
