Please use this thread going forward: Can't set two mothers/fathers as parents in CAS | EA Forums - 11952388
I had a married lesbian couple adopt and they were both counted as mothers. (I do use mods, but I didn't used to and thought that it was based on marital status as to whether both parents "counted.") I've never tried to create a lesbian couple with children in CAS, however.
The game tries to be inclusive but sometimes you can find heterocentric roots. You just have, I think.
Ahh that might be my problem I used mods to allow sims to get pregnant to each other regardless of gender lol......good to know adoption works though!
@xochiquetzl_xkvn I would credit it more towards the developers not thinking that far when it came to same sex couples, doesn't mean they were intentionally trying to leave anything out or were doing it to discriminate or anything. I mean this is EA we're talking about, and they don't seem to think things through all the time.
@valohim666 they weren't saying they were doing it intentionally, just that it comes from assuming that heterosexuality is the "default" so to speak. And it does come from that sort of thinking, there's no denying that. If that weren't the line of thinking the game would simply pick one or more parents to assign to each sim, based on birth or adoption or what ever was set in cas and it wouldn't be gender locked. Hell we might even be able to have poly relationships, open relationships, and more if the code wasn't so locked to what is considered "default".
@yuk75 The overall point of what I said is that you can't expect EA to get everything right, and in no way was I trying to accuse them of saying it was intentional that was simply me adding that to the conversation. I mean just look at all the things they try to incorporate into the game that don't work properly, or is just flat out broken. There's no telling if EA attempted to have these sort of relationship links in there or not, I mean if they did it sure as hell wouldn't be the first time they messed up relationship links.
So again, this is EA, they mess up this game all the time. I'm not trying to say they have or haven't tried adding these into the game because I don't know, but considering the massive number of problems this game has had over the years (which again includes all sorts of relationship problems) you have to look at things from both sides and not just one and I'm trying to see both sides of the fence.
