More Interactions + Sexual Orientation Selection

I'd like to have sexual orientation established in CAS or when a sim ages from child to teen. I'm not going to say any more on the topic because I basically got lynched in a previous thread on this topic, and a mod had to delete several pages of the thread. :(

rip, but that would be amazing

i fully disagree with this idea as it would go against the teen rating of the sims 4

It would be nice to have an option button for romance preference so my sims don't just firt with anyone. Plus, I like my sims to be faithful.

umm i didn't know that sexualities were not teen content? legit woohooing exists, you should probably reconsider your statement, unless you are just anti lgbtq...

I would like the option of turning off flirting by active family unless directed by me. I hate when I have a new "good" and "family-oriented" sim and I'm setting up the story. I go to ask someone on a date and I've only had her flirt with one sim, but there are several other sims on the list because they randomly started flirting with EVERYONE at the romance festival. I have a sim with 6 "romantic" interests, only two of which I instigated.

Once I create a romantic interest in another sim and haven't asked to just be friends, then open flirting all the time is fine. I just sometimes want to choose everyone they flirt with. Asking to just be friends should remove that sim from the romantic panel, too.

On a separate but similar vein, why is "Ask if Single" a romantic interaction?

A rather bold statement to make considering this is the same game that allows for same sex marriage and gender identity. With that in mind, an option for orientation preference doesn't sound like a far-fetched idea.

I've been wanting a sexual preference option in CAS ever since I started playing. I have no idea why they wouldn't have included something like this when they did that gender update. It would have made perfect sense.

I hate how everyone flirts with everyone and no one has a preference. I especially don't like how they do it regardless of their married status or not. I am constantly having female townie sims flirt with my married should be straight female sims and they always reciprocate. It makes all of no sense. If I have a sim married to a person of the opposite gender, I'd like the option to have them reject same sex advances. All they need to do is make a CAS setting that lets us state who our sims are and aren't attracted to. Surely they could have done that in the 6 years this game has been out. I really hope they add something like this at some point, because it's very annoying to have to be constantly hovering over my married sims just to make sure they aren't flirting with other people.

yessss exactly! I wish there were more restrictions, but sadly there arent. It would be amazing if we could choose it in CAS, tbh I dont even think it would be the hardest thing to do, and it exists irl so why not in the sims?

Quite some time ago before all the crashing issues happened, I had my Sim Jan Ling who is married to another woman and they have a daughter visit a bar to make friends and all of a sudden she's flirting and embracing a man.

Even a woman who has about 30 female lovers visited a bar and was doing the same thing but this time she enchanted a male Sim.

So I think a preference option would be nice. If it's set to "Undecided", after a woman keeps flirting with other women then after awhile, her preference is decided.

But I would also like more romantic interactions between partners, especially differences between teen relationships and married couples.
