[NEEDS SAVES] Can't Become Woohoo Partners

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
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? Probably 1.90.358.1030 Whatever's the newest one
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Vampires and the free ones (Grim's Goulish Guitar and Holiday things)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have two non-related sims who have a high friendship. Notice option to "ask to become woohoo partners." Perform one single romantic action. Notice that option is gone. Or what happened to me exactly. Have two non-related sims with a high friendship who are also dating. Make them break up, but stay friends. Notice "ask to become woohoo partners" option in two other sims. Realise it's not an option for the two who are broken up because the romance bar is still there, just at zero.
What happens when the bug occurs? See above.
What do you expect to see? I expect them to be able to become woohoo partners.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Both are male with custom pronouns. Both are attracted to both men and women, romantically and sexually.

    According to this https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/sexual-orientation-in-the-sims-4 I should he able to make an aromantic sim that can still woohoo. What it especially odd is how sims dont have any physical interaction beyond hugging. I feel like that was a gigantic miss. It seems like aro sims HAVE to be asexual as well and that shouldn’t be the case.

    With my aro Sim the option to ask to be woohoo partners came up under friendly interaction once they built a friendship. I set them as aro not ace. No romantic attraction but interested in men and women sexually. Hope this helps.

    Hey, I'm gonna share my save, but a couple things to preface: my issue is different from OP's bug, because the option to ask to be Woohoo Partners did show up and work. I have the same problem as the other people who said their sims whose romantic interests are "no one" cannot Woohoo at all. My sim Leo Sun became best friends with Lilith Vatore, then asked her to be Woohoo Partners. She agreed, but Leo still has no option to Woohoo. I don't know if it's related to the fact that Leo has never had a first kiss, but that's impossible to do because Leo is aromantic. Leo's romantic interests are "no one," but their Woohoo interests are "men and women."

    Also, I am playing with several mods. I don't think this issue is mod-related, since other people playing without mods are having the same bug, but either way I doubt it's helpful to remove mods at this point since I created the save and played up until now with mods (the damage is done either way).

    Please describe the patch or change you made. I haven't seen the option since I downloaded Growing Together. I had the option until then.

    I've tried to find the option so many times on multiple sims in multiple saves, even after repairing the game. It just doesn't exist for me anymore, and I can't find the option to ask to be woohoo partners in any of the social menu categories when it was there before.

  • Are the Sims you're attempting to do this with close friends? You need this to ask questions about the Sim's woohoo preferences before you can ask a Sim to be woohoo partners

    Hey all,

    Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.

    If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.

    Thanks!
