You may have a neighborhood action plan engaged called free love. In which the sims in a community are more physically affectionate with each other. Try clicking on your mailbox to see if this is the case. If it is engaged then make sure testingcheats are on in your game and shift click the mailbox and you can deactivate it.
Wait until you hear what the aliens do to the men they abduct.
I can't even write about it on the forums without breaking guidelines.
Makes you wonder why it's in the game.
- @PorcelainMartlet We can't say impregnate on the boards? Huh. Anyway, @dmr723 there's no sexual harassment. If you leave your autonomy on, sims will autonomously flirt. I don't believe you can afk on your game and come back to a pregnant sim ( Unless you count the alien abductions.. ) But yeah. You can say that flirty/romantic interactions should be cut from autonomy, or lessened, but I don't see how this is sexual harassment.
@PorcelainMartlet I'm not talking about flirt. A neighbor with whom your sim does not have a romantic relationship, not even a friendship, suddenly jump on him and start kissing him. In real life, that is a sexual assault and people can go to jail for that. I've been playing the game since The Sims 1 was released many years ago. There was the infamous "Heat of the moment kiss" in Sims 3 University but even then, we had some control on it. By allowing that to occur autonomously, the game is sending the message that sexual harassment is okay.
I still believe this is a bug, because I cannot believe developers would include sexual harassment as part of the game.Snipped
Also, the prove of what I say and why I do believe it is a bug is this: just click on any other sim with whom your active sim does not have a romantic relationship. Then, select “Romance” from the menu and you will not find the option to kiss. That’s normal! So why an NPC can do it? I find that unacceptable.

Hi @dmr723,
Some of your replies in this thread have been removed as they were in violation of the Community Guidelines (we have younger simmers here too). As @Reekyteek said above this is likely the work of the Free Love action plan, they also provided steps on disabling it if you wish.
Regardless, this does highlight a potentially problematic area and I've sent your feedback up to the Sims team for looking into.
Thanks for sharing.
