And if the game is saved between the time you hear the lullaby and the time the first bump appears, then the game is reloaded, it's likely that when you reaload the lot your newly pregnant Sim will die. This includes both saving and exiting the lot and sending someone to a community lot during this period, which also saves the game. Many people have given the advice not to save before the first bump shows.
That's interesting. I save every simday at 0600 hours, plus once or twice maybe during the day if there are important events. I've had many pregnant sims and never had one die. I have also re-installed the game countless times, so I haven't just got lucky. I wonder if there are other factors that influence this outcome, given that many have commented that they've had pregnant sims die mysterious deaths.
I read this somewhere and have been TRYING to duplicate the pregnant death thing, but I have not had any deaths caused by:
1) Saving and exiting during the first day of pregnancy, then playing the lot at another time.
2) Sending another family member to a community lot during a pregnant sim's first 24 hours of pregnancy.
3) Sending the pregnant sim to a community lot during the first day of pregnancy.
I have, however, had one or two that didn't get the first bump when they should have. So I loaded another lot of a friend of the pg sim, had them invite her over, used the inSimenator to make her selectable, and after about a sim hour she popped out. Then I made her unselectable again. Exit, save, return to her lot, and within a sim hour she pops out. Saves having to move her out and onto another lot so she'll have the baby.
But I have never had a pregnant sim die (and in this hood, since I read about this problem, about 30-35 pregnancies) and I have tried something with every pregnancy to see if I could get one to die. No deaths while pg, none within hours after they have the baby.
I don't have any pregnancy hacks or do any "artificial inSimination" either. All pregnancies are accomplished as nature intended, through woohoo. ;)
The only thing I use the inSiminator for is to check on the status of the pregnancy. I don't use boolprop, woolprop or any other prop (tongue thouroughly in cheek), hacks, or anything like that to make my sims pg. In fact, I had one couple who I've had a devil of a time getting pg! Took about 10 times trying for baby to get her knocked up! (In fact, she's based on me, and all my ex ever had to do was hang his pants on the bedpost and I was pg.)
Oh, and I do have a couple of lots that I think are buggy and will eventually have to be bulldozed. So I'm not even sure if its a buggy lot causing the pg death.
Probably a case of "custom content" (oh, don't start that again!)

Someone up there said get sim preggers, save, go to neighborhood and I think and reenter (reaload - whatever that means) the lot?

With respect, Maxoid Tom, may I suggest that if you have to make things easier for yourself, that you limit yourself to 3 specific forums.
I would have thought it was more appropriate to have a two-way feedback forum on the official site? That would be just one place then. I still don't understand why it's easier to get the attention of a Maxis rep on a fansite than on the main site. Not that I am complaining - it's nice to be able to chat to one wherever :D
J. M. Pescado:
My theory is that it's because all other less-awesome sites tend to be filled with screaming bene-beggars and it's impossible to get anything done. Also, it's pretty obvious why Maxis never gets anything done: Their employees spend 4 hours a day loitering on my site. No wonder nothing gets done. Maybe things would go faster if I banned him so he'd have to get back to work.
Andygal:
I for one can say that I have saved and reentered the lot while a sim was pregnant many many times and I've never had any of them die *knock on wood*. I seldom send my sims to a community lot so I don't know about that.
