All non-premade sims are aromantic and asexual?

I've been playing a new save today and wanted to get my sim in a relationship. She is bisexual, so I had her start engaging with a few sims to discover their romantic and woo-hoo preferences. Three random sims she tried this with were all not interested in romance or woo-hoo with anyone. I checked a couple of townie sims and they were aromatic, exploring, and interested in woo-hoo with everyone, as expected.

Does this mean all the sims the game generates are going to have no interest in romance or woo-hoo for the whole of my legacy? Because that's going to make new generations tricky.

@Rambling_Rose314What I usually do anyway is to create a few townies of my own and keep them as future possible partners for my Sims. Sometimes I create my Sims in say, a flat share and then move them out. I move the "spare" Sims into Other Households but my Sim has their friendship with them so if I decide to start a relationship with them they have a head start. They don't even need a house, you can move them out.
I also add a few random solo Sims or pick a few NPCs in Other Households and edit everything about them, again to make them more suited to my Sims. I tend to go through Other Households regularly, culling random NPCs and editing others or adding some of my own.
So that's just an idea to make relationships a little easier for your Sims. You mention Legacy there which I don't play, so maybe the second option is better for you.
