There’s one thing Electronic Arts should have considered adding with its Growing Together expansion for The Sims 4… exorcisms. Let me explain. Most The Sims 4 players know to expect some bugs after a big update; The Sims 4 has so much stuff, and not everything plays nice together — especially custom-created and modded content. There has been plenty of cursed bugs produced in this way, but this Growing Together visual glitch might take the cake: It’s making long babies.
Do you remember long Furby
If you find your children’s legs growing too fast to catch up to their body, try that. But maybe a cursed child adds to your game’s storytelling. In that case, enjoy your little demon.
Bathing infants also seems to be a problem for anyone who isn’t interested in a demon in their household. The animation can glitch out when a sim is placing a kid in the bathtub, turning the baby into a truly horrifying monster with what looks like dragon wings. In other instances, babies seem to attach themselves to adults, stuck and relegated to floating along the floor.
If you’re a longtime Sims player, you may be thinking: Hey, this looks familiar! That’s because this was a known issue in The Sims 3, too — babies occasionally sprouted extra long extremities. So if you can’t get your cursed child out of your The Sims 4 game, just think of it as a nod to Sims history. I’m sure that’ll make it easier to manage.
The Sims 4: Growing Together’s is out Thursday on all platforms. It costs $39.99.
