Cupids Corner matches do not honor sexual preference

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.329.1020 DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Using Cupid's Corner, find a person who doesn't romance your gender. Ask them out on a get to know you date. Have a gold date experience. Romance bar will shoot up. Then try to interact romantically with the sim. They inform you that they're flattered, but not interested in you that way. They would be happy to be friends.
What happens when the bug occurs? You have a romance bar with a sim that doesn't romance your gender.
What do you expect to see? Cupid's corner date suggested should match my gender or if invited out on a get to know you date, the other sim shouldn't get a romance bar after the date ends.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I double checked. Sim is only interested in woohoo with men too. My sim is female. I thought maybe she wouldn't romance women, but would woohoo with women, but that is not the case. I removed all of my mods before this happened. I deleted all cache files and repaired my game. This is a brand new save file that I created after doing all that. It's also the first date experience I tried. Her romantic exploration is set to No.

  • I think since Cupid's corner is a dating app, you should be specifying that you're interested in a certain type of relationship with certain genders. For example, open to platonic relationships with all genders, but looking for romance with men, etc. I'm not 100% on what the answer to this is, but I prefer Cupid's corner matches be romantically interested in my gender at least.
  • I have a similar problem. I've got my sim to have a full blown romantic relationship with someone from Cupids corner, they're now girlfriends/partners and I went on the other womans profile and she has only romance attraction to men and sexual attraction to men and no romantic exploration but yet is happy to woohoo etc with my female sim.

    Wow, I just had a romance bar with the other sim. Once I tried to do anything romantic, it told me she wasn't interested and then the romance category was greyed out. I did not become partners or woohoo with her. Did you check the other sim's woohoo preferences? They are separate from romance preferences.

    Yes, both woohoo  and romance pref are men only, yet she was happily woohooing with ny female sim. Odd.

  • Let's see...

    The game only takes into account your sim's romantic preference, but not the other sims'. At least it says so in tuning files, but in-game it just puts both genders if I have set the woohoo preference to both. Not only that, but if you have an ace sim using the app (romance and woohoo set to no one), you still get suggested both genders for a date.

    The only things the app truly honors is that if other sims are taken or if they have disabled the app.

  • Same problem here. My sim (woman) is only interested by men for romance and woohoo, and she have met a gay man. So the dates goes on and i get no possible interaction with the man (just a few, like when a sim left the lot) I think we just only find sims with the correct attraction on the Cupid's Corner. There no reason this gay man comes to a date with a woman. I will try this later with a gay man and see if he gets gay men on the app.
    You know IRL straight men come at date with gay men to beat them up, right ? This bug give me really bad vibes about this.
