Pregnant Sim Keeps Going to Work!

[StarHopper]

My DecaDynasty founder got pregnant with her second right before I saved & quit last night.  This morning, I saw her change into maternity clothes, but she kept going to work!  Additionally, their is no pregnancy moodlet. 

All the normal pregnancy restrictions are there (can't change out of those ugly clothes!), she gets nauseous and vomits, and her hubby can feel her belly.  But the working & the lack of moodlet make me nervous.

I reset her, then made her quit her job.  I saved & quit and will restart later today.  Is there anything else I should do?  Has this happened to anyone before?

I once had a problem with the pregnancy when the sim spun into maternity clothes after the carpool showed up, but before she left for work, but it was different from yours: the sim was both supposed to be at work (she got a job performance penalty for not being there) and not allowed to be (the "go to work" button on her career panel didn't work and the "work" option on her job building was greyed out). That pregnancy also took several game hours to complete the "spin into maternity wear, pat belly, get pregnancy moodlet" sequence, and she was frozen during that time. I ended up going back to my previous save and calling for a day off work before the carpool showed up - that solved the work problem.

Is your sim's appearance changing as the pregnancy progresses? (e.g. is she doing the pregnant walk, and is her bump getting bigger?) If so it'll probably work out okay - on the other hand after spinning into maternity wear she should have stopped vomiting and started getting backaches.  Just in case, do you still have the save from right after she got pregnant, or is that possibly when your most recent .backup is from? Normally you wouldn't be able to go back to an older save because of the DecaDynasty rules, but Metro generally allows reasonable rule-breaking in the name of fixing bugs, and "Pregnancy is all glitched up" sounds like the kind of bug that "go back to previous save" is a reasonable fix for.

Yes, she is waddling, and she also got backaches.  Hopefully it will sort itself out when I start the game back up.  As for going to a previous save, I guess I will need to look up how to do that!

Thanks.

One of my Khalid dynasty Sims never had the time of work when she was pregnant she was working in the medical career. I just let her go to work she had the baby and went back to work on the same day. She never had any maternity leave and she never got the pregnancy moodlet. She did have materity clothes and the usual wishes during the time. Everything worked out so I didn't stress about it.

Oh, that's interesting, Ratchie.  My Sim was in the medical career, too.  Perhaps it's a glitch with that particular career.  Anyway, it's good to know that it's going to be alright!

It happend to me once as well, but she was in the political career. She changed from pregnancy clothes to work clothes and went to work, and back to pregancy clothes when she got home. She left work early the day she delivered the baby, and also never had any time of after the pregnancy. The next time she got pregnant everything was back to normal.
