This is laughable... imagine being offended over cartoon pixel people doing something as mundane as hugging each other. If EA is prioritizing things like these then i fear for this game and what kind of turn it'll take to appease the snowflakes.
No one is saying they are bothered by hugging. No is saying they are bothered by nude sims. And no one is saying consensual woohoo is a problem.
Additionally, just because something has been a way for a long time doesn't make it right. EA/Maxis has shown a great interest in supporting LGBT+ and BLM. I would assume that they are also considerate of victims of this type of aggression, even if all of the players are not.
To be blunt male r*pe has been considered a joke for ages. (dropping the soap, for example) It's still not taken seriously by many and any positive changes regarding it are recent. So what if alien pregnacies have been in the game since Sims 2? So what if it's conveinient for your 100 baby challenge? So what if is titallating to you? Does that make it right?
What would be wrong about say... adding a pop-up that asks if you want to accept the alien pregnancy? Or tweeking the free love NAP to work properly?
You can call people snowflakes and say this isn't as important as other things, but why are you so bothered by the suggestion? Are sensitive or traumatized people not welcome to play this game? Is heavily implied sexual aggression not something EA should prioritize removing in a game rated T?
All that said, feel free to move it to feedback instead of bug reports, that's inconsequential to me.
@PorcelainMartlet sure, let’s make some suggestions on the report bugs section. I don’t even think you read anything on this thread tbh. Anyway I’m done, not going to bump this thread anymore, it does not deserve any more attention. It’s getting ridiculous.
I believe you are the one who did not read anything in this thread. I thought this was a bug because I could not believe something so obvious as the need of consent for that kind of interaction was not taken into consideration by the game designers. We are not talking about a friendly hug here, although in real life, I will not attempt to hug someone with whom I don't even have a friendship. We are talking about sims not controlled by the player who suddenly start kissing "romantically" another sim with whom it does not have a romantic relationship. In real life, that is called sexual aggression. Think about a 12, 14 or 15 years old kid playing the game when that happen: what kind of message he or she is getting? How can someone justify such despicable behavior as "Free love"?
The solution is easy to implement: the sim should be able to give its consent or decline the interaction.

Hey all,
As we've now had to remove several posts for violating the Forum Guidelines I'm afraid this thread is now locked.
The relevant feedback here has been passed along and it has been removed from the Bug Report section to the General Discussion section.
