The Sims' universe has always been an odd one, full of nonsensical conversations, endless, jumping through hoops gameplay and lots of murdering babies in creative ways. But things got even stranger with the latest expansion pack, "Get to Work," as men who were abducted by the aliens added to the game, could often come back with a little something extra in tow: a baby in their abdomen.
While a lot of people quite liked this strange feature, it turns out that it was in-fact a bug, and wasn't meant to be taking place - since it implied that the men were "woowooing," as the Sims calls it, with the aliens that were abducting them. That's not only a case of inter-species sexual activity, but a mix of rape and Stockholm syndrome as well.
As most bugs are, this one has now been squashed, so it's much harder for it to happen now. The abduction rate has also been reduced, so players spend less time with their sims off on the other side of the galaxy being molested, and more time working. Because, fun?
Fortunately then, or unfortunately if you were hoping that EA and Maxis had stopped screwing things up, it turns out that the male pregnancy feature is still in the game and now appears to happen randomly.
