Okay, this is something I'm going to have to test. This article left me with more questions than answers, especially when the writer claimed that pregnant sims can't woohoo or take a pregnancy test. I can't tell if they mean since this patch pregnant sims can't do those things, or if they haven't played the game enough to know that those things are false. The fact there's a question mark in parentheses doesn't help.
Also, the screenshot showing a child not be able to do something because they're "pregnant" doesn't necessarily mean the sim is pregnant - it could well be a bug related to how the menu is displayed, which sounds possible since it seems to be occuring across the board. The article is about sims being pregnant, but not about them having babies, and I find that an odd distinction.
But I have this game, and the patch is already downloaded. Let's see if I'm a lucky winner and this bug shows up.
To game for science!
Edit: I tried with a fresh, new, mod-free game file. I tried with an old game file both with and without mods. Alas, I was unable to recreate this glitch in my game.
