Please allow us to disable 'ask sim to leave spouse'.

We have new boundaries now that allow our sims to be married or engaged and in an open or polyamorous relationship. With this we should have a bit of tuning with the 'ask to leave spouse' option for sims who already have a partner.

When my sims have open boundaries and are seeing another married sim with an open boundary spouse, I'd prefer not to see 'ask to leave spouse' suggested on the pie menu every time i open it. At the very least it'd be nice to bury it under the mean actions or under change relationship, so it doesn't feel like the game is suggesting it constantly. 

As a better alternative I'd like the option under gameplay to toggle it off as a suggestion, so I can play poly or open sims without having the suggestion. I assume it was oversight and forgotten about how it pops up, but with the new boundary options I really believe it should be fixed so it no longer pops up like there isn't an option to have a romantic relationship with a sim that isn't an affair. Thank you.

    I feel like they really didn’t think it through when they added open relationships. I have Growing Together and I’ve been getting really annoyed that my Sims get the Had an Affair milestone with its accompanying tense Cheated moodlet despite being in an open relationship. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve also read that the open relationship mechanic doesn’t work at all with the Loyal trait. It’s super annoying that they added a mechanic that doesn’t work with other mechanics.

  • this sounds like there should be a tuning on the context of that pie menu "type"

    I think the other one is the traditional one, then you wouldn't see the social context ones, but you would have to click on the category you want every time
