It's not a bug. Please see my answer to your other post about this situation.

Oh ok, delete above post then :)Thanks for the answer.

It's good to leave it. I'm sure others will have the same question.

When you say its less likely, do you mean that some older women can have children while most cant? Or do you mean that it would probably just take many more attempts ?

I've seen it take many attempts when they are older - but also when they are younger so not sure. There is a suggestion that it is more likely if they do it on their own, rather than being dropped on a mate..

It has never happened to me - yet. From what I've read in the threads discussing this the common factor is that the game is off and the player has opened the game to find an over-50 nursing. Just recently I had a 44-year-old male set to parenting as I was trying to bring him up to Scholar. He was an adept and had happily been running around kissing all the girls he could. Suddenly I noticed he wasn't "performing" as before. he was carrying out any action other than the one I wanted him to do.

I then realised that he'd perhaps been a little too enthusiastic and had impregnated every female between 18 and 50. I decided to use "speed-kissing" and eventually brought him up to a Master Parent and thus a Scholar. The Elderly Scholar who was his partner in the speed-kissing must have been kissed a couple of hundred times but didn't have a baby. If, however, I'd turned the game off for a while, she might well have done...
