The Sims 4 Update 2.16 Nurses Pregnancy Fixes
Developer Maxis has pushed out a new The Sims 4 update on July 16, and this specifically targets pregnancy issues in the game. Console players will see this as The Sims 4 update 2.16, and it’s a smaller patch than what we’re used to.
For the fill details and explanation on the issue, head on for the official patch notes.
The Sims 4 Sim Pregnancy Issues Now Fixed via Patch 2.16
Here’s what Maxis had to say about today’s patch:
Today’s update will fix the recent issues seen with Sim Pregnancy introduced on July 1, 2025 in version 1.116.202.1030 for PC, 1.116.223.1230 for Mac, and 2.14 on Consoles.
The issues were related to performance optimizations and have now been reverted to resolve the issues reported. Any Sim pregnancy related mods should return to their pre-update functionality, though you should still check with the specific mod author for updates.
Bug Fixes
Base Game
- [EA Forums] Pregnancy will work as it did prior to the Base Game Patch on 7/1/2025
The thread itself is funny to read given the bugs users have encountered.
There was also a patch released last week, which Maxis implemented the following fixes:
Bug Fixes
Base Game / Multipack
- [EA Forums] The ability to drag spoiled items from Object and Sim inventories to the trash or sink has been restored.
- [EA Forums] The Sharing is Caring Whiteboard can be placed once again!
- [EA Forums] Gnomes have stopped constantly wiggling, jumping, or shaking after being placed from Build Mode.
