[OPEN] Sexual Orientation doesn't effect Wants

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? 1.90
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every pack. Except Journey To Batuu and any of the kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Set your sim's Romantic Attraction and wait to receive the Want to 'Ask to be boy/girlfriend'.
What happens when the bug occurs? Your sim might want to ask out someone who doesn't meet their Romantic Attraction. Also they might want to ask someone out who is not even romanticaly interested in your sim.
What do you expect to see? I want to see Sexual Orientation actually effect Wants. For example if my sim is gay I want to see him receiving Wants about having a boyfriend and NOT a girlfriend.
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

Hi!

I noticed that when my sim got new friends, he received a Want about asking one of he's friends to be his girlfriend. Which is strange because my sim is gay. After a while he forgot about her but then he constantly wanted to ask one of he's friends to be his boyfriend, even after he found out that he is not romanticaly interested in my sim.

  • @charvat7 Just go into Manage Households, find the sim(s) you want yours to date, and edit their sexual orientation in CAS.
  • It was so good to see that we have attraction preferences now, but unfortunately wants of the sims don't follow the attraction preferences and I see them want (wish) to flirt with unwanted gender. It is ruining the story. I think would be great if we could just cancel unwanted wants that will allow us to overcome things like that.

    So, what exactly happened in my game:

    The family I created was supposed to be very traditional with kids and so on. But sometimes I see my female sim wanting (wishing) to flirt with an old lady.. I'm pretty sure that if that unwanted wishing for flirting happens to other people (of any orientation) it is pretty unpleasant or annoying. For example, if I would create homosexual family and my sims would wish to flirt with opposite gender it is not acceptable. That's why we need our sexual preferences also work together with the sims wants.

    I have all expacs if thats relevant info, and no mods or CC.

    My sims are both male, one of them cannot get pregnant and cannot impregnate, the other can only impregnate. They both frequently get the ‘try for baby’ want with regards to each other. That isn’t even an option for them to attempt. Is there something I can do to stop this? Do I need to make the other sim infertile as well?

    Thanks!

  • I am having this exact problem! I made sure to make my sim aroace in the options but wants to get in a relationship keep showing up. I do have mods but none that impact wants -- given other people are/were experiencing this problem with their mods removed, I've elected to keep them in.

    There needs to be a filtering process for wants based on sexual and romantic orientation.

  • @Csabuszkah I've also noticed it doesn't impact which sims they flirt with. I've always disliked the frequency of autonomous flirting and the sexual orientation did nothing to stop it either. They still just flirt with anyone of any gender regardless of specified sexual preference
