Weird maternity outfit
moniquinin:
Huh. So it can happen to Maxis items then. I rechecked and I did have some Barcelonista maternity wear, but not default replacements. I did remove them and this still happened. I'm sure it's a Maxis texture as well because like I said, when I left her at her lot, she wasn't even showing yet so she wasn't wearing maternity clothing. I wonder why she showed up as part of the welcome wagon in her third trimester, on the Monday before the Wednesday she actually did get pregnant. I have no idea how the whole chronology from lot to lot is supposed to work, but oh well. Her clothing though looks EXACTLY like Alon's skin, but with different words. I'll try to get a pic up.
maxon:
Well, that's a missing texture. You get those when you delete recolours and skins in game and then try to dress the sim in the old skin or use a deleted recolour by using the thumbnail which hasn't disappeared (it will when you reload the game). If it's a missing Maxis texture I'd guess the game has lost the note telling itself where the texture is located. I don't know if deleting groups.cache would help with that but the reason it got fixed for Moa was because she did something to get the game to remind itself where the texture was.

There isn't any chronology from lot to lot. Only a vast and eternal now.
Whatever state she was in when you saved her on her home lot, that's how she will show up as a visitor. It doesn't matter how many days have passed on that lot as opposed to her home lot. The weird thing, though, is that each day of pregnancy is a different state. She shouldn't be showing up with a third day belly if she was only first day pregnant on her home lot.

My game has always worked that way since before any EPs or anything. It happens when I play a lot with a pregnant Sim on it that is showing at least the first bump. Then I save and go play another lot. On the 2nd lot the pregnant Sim comes over as a visitor, or you visit a comm lot and see the pregnant Sim. Even though they had the smallest bump when you left them, they will always have the largest bump when playing other Sims.
Then when I go back and play the pregnant Sim, they will have the largest bump. They still get the "wave and bump" when the time is right, but since they are already showing the largest bump, their size doesn't change.
I first realized that this was happening when I made a neighborhood of newlyweds. I let each couple get pregnant, then when their bump was showing I would save and do the same to the next lot. The idea was to be able to tell at a glance which Sims were pregnant so I could get started on the next family. Then I started noticing that every single female looked like they were in their 3rd trimester.
It is just a visual effect. Nothing bad comes from it. They still stay pregnant for 75 hours and then give birth just fine.
EDIT: If I save a pregnant Sim before they start showing, they don't show up on other lots with a bump. They just vomit in your toilet a lot.

Yeah Magicmooon that's exactly my experience. Sim just gets pregnant when you leave them, ooh sweet, looks like overweight hippo waddling past when you next see them on a walk-by.
