sexuality
i’d like to be able to specify the sexuality of my sims, because it gets sort of annoying how they commonly flirt with genders (that in my mind and gameplay) they aren’t interested in.
@PugLove888 @SqueamishNerd Even with whatever gender preference system the game is currently using it's still not 100% effective. I've had Sims who are either completely straight or completely gay try to do autonomous romantic interactions with other Sims of their non-preferred gender. For example, Sims with a high level of Charisma will autonomously attempt to do "Enchanting" or "Flirty" introductions with other Sims of their non-preferred gender. It's especially annoying because it instantly creates a "Romantic" relationship (i.e. a relationship with a Romance bar) with a complete stranger and it takes forever for that relationship to naturally fade from the game.
@SqueamishNerd Lol no wonder it seemed like it was taking so long! xD This is why I resorted to using mods to make them go away.
@RandomBuzziness, @SqueamishNerd , and @derplit yes, it isn't 100% fool proof, but it does help. And in this too, it is rather like painting -- your Sims will eventually be more likely to paint on their own if you direct them to paint often, but even Sims you never direct to paint will still sometimes give it a try! 😃😉
