What is with adult sims able to joke about body hair and acne?? They're always joking about puberty when they're adults. It's so weird and annoying. They're "joke" interactions and I hate seeing sims make fun of eachother. The joke can fail and the tone seems degrading. Makes me feel bad for sims...

    @crinrict without mods. All "joke about body hair/acne" interactions are available to adults. I forgot to mention they flirt like teenagers. It's a shy kind of flirt.

    I understand they revamped teens to be more teen like but they've kinda blurred it together with adults. I also play on PS5 and they flirt like teenagers and joke like them on there too. So not a mod problem.

    @iamoz96 It's always best to state that in your report cause usually reports on modded games that have no me toos don't get looked at.

    There's a thread for the flirting here which you can use: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Adult-sims-use-the-same-animation-as-teens-when-flirting/m-p/11996115 although that was only for autonomous interactions.

    This might not be a bug even but I don't know. Def doesn't bother me. The flirting seems more of an issue.

    @crinrict oh okay I can change it. It just seems like adults and teens are kinda blurred together. 

    I am having trouble with excessive flirting. It was annoying before but it's really bad now. I can't play on console and taking my sim couples out is even more risky than before. 

    OH and yes that's another thread I need to look into it.

    @iamoz96 I checked my game again and since it's a funny interaction, it shouldn't have any negative impacts on the relationship other than someone else might not find it funny (as with all jokes)

    Do you have joking about acne on adult/adult or just adult/teen ? I don't think it's meant to make fun of each other, they just joke about it. It's not a mean or mischief interaction just telling jokes about it.

    Do you have it excessively as autonomous interaction or just the fact that the interaction is available ?

    @crinrict it's just very excessive. Maybe I am not used to it. I was kinda assuming the joke interactions were teen oriented since Social Bunny the adults post about prom a lot and lunch time at school/excessive phone use when going anywhere (phone usage was fixed a good bit ago) and it's just one of those silly things.

    @iamoz96 I don't think they are exclusively teen interactions, especially the body hair. Acne is a teen thing but I only have the interaction on teens with adults and not on adults to adults.

    I really don't think this is a bug but ultimately, a Maxis will need to make that decision.
