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.Sorry but if Freelove means that a sim can romantically kiss another without its consent and without having a romantic relationship with: that’s sexual harassment and it should be banned from the game completely. Disabling Freelove is not a solution because you will be exposing players who are unaware of that.
