The Sims 4’s new infants update for the base game launched yesterday and I was fully expecting the bug du jour to be some kind of AI tomfoolery—infants autonomously setting fires somehow or being unintentionally eligible to “have a science baby” with their own parents or something. Like that time everyone’s Sims were assholes for no reason. But no, The Sims 4 is instead experiencing an “infant stretching” epidemic.
It’s exactly what you think. Here are a bunch of poor babies who’ve been afflicted with Slenderman legs:

Players are posting bug reports for the same issue with equally distressing images over on the official EA Answers hub. Several have speculated that infants get stretchy when they autonomously attempt—or are the target of—interactions that they shouldn’t have at their life stage.
Aside from the anatomical crimes, the new infants update seems to be going over well. As expected, lots of Sims 4 players on Twitch are already attempting the popular 100 babies challenge and finding themselves amusingly in over…
