EA Staff (Retired)Hello everyone!
We are trying to reproduce your issue but we have been unable to so far.
Can you guys helps us a bit? Would you be willing to send your save files? If so, instructions are here:
Thank you very much!
Uh yeah. Don't like being lied to.
The problem has been fixed in my game and I don't appreciate SimQA coming on and saying there was not a problem.
I opened a new save file and now the romantic wish on the wishing well gives my sims the correct orientation love partner, the first time around.
Since I first noticed the problem weeks ago, I kept retesting with new game saves and the problem was still there. It was still there last week.
And now suddenly, it's gone, today when I am told that there is no evidence of the game glitch or tuning of relationships or whatever was going on to make the game more gay after the gay couple was highlighted in the Cats and Dogs expansion (by the way, the gay couple keep asking female sims on dates before this current (background) fix...not sure what the heck that was about.
I would appreciate honesty from a game platform that I've invested in substantially and over many years.
They just said they could not repro themselves and like some help. No one ever said it wasn't an issue. So I don't see where you're being lied to ?
Tagging others in this thread to see if it's still an issue
Hi, @SimGuruIcarus! (And thank you crinrict, for notifying me!) Here's the save file where I first noticed the bug. I also have a vampire with Alluring Visage/Vampiric Charm in my last played household, if that helps! This is my current gameplay save. I have some custom content on this one, sorry! I'm still experiencing the bug, but I'm using mods to mitigate the issue.
Here is the link to my save where it's been occurring. I've had what are meant to be straight male sims flirting with other men simply because they're feeling flirty, and both of them have been in relationships as well.
EA Staff (Retired)Thank you all for your saves!
This will definitely help us trying to pin-point this issue.
Happy Simming!
Hopefully you can reproduce it and get to the bottom of it.
Tips to reproduce: I see this worst at the Romance Festival. Just observed two female sims, both with 100% male preference drink some tea and then immediately start flirting with each other in front of their husbands.
Also I had a gay couple dining at a restaurant, and they get the Dinner Date romance moodlet. They started chatting with a married heterosexual couple dining at the table next to them and suddenly there were jealousy reactions all over the place because one of the groups flirted with the other autonomously instead of having any restraint or faithfulness.
When I click on any sims and get presented with random suggested social interactions, I often see romantic interactions suggested that ignore gender preference. For example if I male sim with female preference is in a playful mood and clicks on another male sim, it can suggest "Make a Flirtatious Joke". Before the November 2017 patch I don't recall that happening. Or at least it was tuned differently. The problem is that sims seem to follow the same rules as the suggestions when randomly performing autonomous actions.
I only play one saved game ever, which I've previously submitted for other bug reports.
