While not every player is not privy to the nightmare of every person in their game becoming with child, those who have the bug are finding a large number of Sims randomly marked as pregnant.

Who the fuck wrote this?

Once a character is pregnant, they can’t Woo-Hoo anymore,

Never pegged The Sims for being so Puritain.

There are a lot of euphemisms in The Sims so they can keep their T rating, with sex being called woo-hoo probably being the biggest one. The other big one I can think of is that alcohol is referred to as "Juice"

Also Woo-Hoo is a term used in the game.

Is pegging?

Asking for a friend.

Sounds like you might have some wicked whims

It’s not a story EA would tell you.

It’s an old loverslab legend…

FYI, the Sims 4 version is Wicked Whims.

But I find mods in generally have become difficult to maintain since EA starting putting out a new patch seemingly every week.

Yes but only if you download the unofficial patch off of FilePlanet lol

I'm aware. Just funny that you can't have sex for fun apparently when you're pregnant.

You might dent the baby sim's head!

I don't think the Puritans had any issue with pregnant people having sex.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I assumed they were generally against the concept of sex not strictly for the purpose of reproduction.

Debunking the Myth Surrounding Puritans and Sex

The Puritans weren't prudish. In fact, they were passionate.

From the beginning, Puritans maintained sexual intercourse was necessary for procreation, but also asserted sex was an important way for couples to bond in a loving relationship.

“They talk about the duty to desire, that you’re supposed to engage in intercourse with your married partner and that this is good,” says Bremer. “There will actually be some people in early New England who are censured by the church because they have deprived their married partner of sex for three months or more and this is seen as bad.”

Bet I can guess the gender of the people who were censured...

I'm assuming that you're guessing "female"?

In the 1600s, a man named James Mattock was expelled from the First Church of Boston. His crime? It wasn’t using lewd language or smiling on the Sabbath or anything else that we might think the Puritans had disapproved of. Rather, James Mattock had refused to have sex with his wife for two years.

Looking at other sources, the expulsion was in 1640.
