Pregnant sims have no bottom part to their stomachs!

[IgnorantBliss]

Yeah, that yellow dress. 

The sim I play the most always wears dresses, so it was her I designed a maternity dress for using the yellow dress mesh.  It looked nice, and I was content. 

If memory serves me correctly, she still changed back to the yellow dress, which I loathe, btw....and even more so now that I've noticed this: D:

Yeah, I hadn't noticed that until now when I started editing the pictures. Yikes.

I keep forgetting that you can't change prego outfits and typing "dresser" only to get a hanging loading screen and have to terminate the program without my data being saved 

Thinking of making a ton of orphans for adoption instead just to avoid this.

Good lord, so that's why my pregnant sims always looked weird. Some things are just beyond lazy. What, is getting the bottom half of your fetus going to be a feature of the next expansion pack?

I keep my pregnant Sims in dresses.

What do you do to control their wardrobe?  I plan plenty of maternity freindly outfits beforehand hoping the sim will use them instead -  but each and every time, it lands me with this randomy generated crap.  It's great if it's the dress, but I get the jogging suit more often than not. 

My sims either keep a part (or all) of their pre-pregnancy outfit if it's one of the pieces of clothing with pregnancy morphs, or they switch into an outfit that's sort of similar to what they were wearing. The ones that were wearing pants switch to a pair of pants, the ones wearing a dress to another dress.

I don't have access to my game screenshots at the moment, but I can post some pictures later on. Among the pieces of clothing that do have pregancy morphs are the T-shirt-over-a-long-sleeved shirt top, the skinny jeans, the jogging pants (and the matching top), and the spaghetti strap dress, at least. If you dress your sims in those before they switch to their pregnancy clothing, they should keep that same outfit during the pregnancy, also.

But the skinny jeans and the jogging pants will not have the pregnancy morph, just the shirt.

The jogging pants look fine to me.

Oh, malformed preggo belly and poorly executed clothing meshes happen to everyone's sims? I thought maybe it was a crazy graphics malfunction caused by my lunatic decision to put my video card in danger of meltdown by running the game with high settings on a laptop. I should have know better and assumed EA being lazy.

Half belly, disappearing belly and gravity defying dresses are great, but I'm partial to the ultra-thick bedsheets that swallow sleeping children. So much of this game looks so bad in closeup views.

You're telling me. Have you seen the floor borders? They are pink and yellow!

[Bouncing Pink Ball]

Yup. The edges of the walls in cutout view aren't looking so good either, but again, I thought it might be a video card issue on my end. The horror indeed...

I had a pregnant sim laying on her bed reading and looking at her from a view at the foot of the bed I could see right through her to the bedding.  No sim skin at all between her top and pants.

I think she was wearing the zippered sweat top and sweat pants.

[Dragon Slave]

No sim skin at all between her top and pants.

 
 
That's because the top is her skin.  It would be cool if they were actually wearing the clothes, but sort of pointless since we're not supposed to see inside the shirts to began with.  Baby's are another example.  If you view them from the right angle, you'll see that they're missing the lower half of their body.

You would think that after all of EA's ranting about the custom ability of TS3, that you would be able to choose your preggo sim's clothing. What a lazy bunch of programmers.

I know, right?  We can't even use create a style to fix the horrible default color combinations.

So could we please come up with a list of all clothes that can be used as maternity? It would be nice to know what my options are so I can pick appropriate clothes beforehand.

Are these the only choices?

Tops:
Short sleeve Tee over long sleeve shirt.
That fitted sport coat type thing.
Track suit top.

Pants:
Sweat pants
Skinny jeans

Outfit:
Spaghetti strap nightgown
