Sims ignoring attraction and woohoo prefernces.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? Current
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Playing with lovestruck
What happens when the bug occurs? My household sim that is not being played with will flirt or get flirted with, have a half full romance bar with them and try to run off and woohoo them. They ignore that they are in a relationship, if the other sim is in one, they ignore attraction preferences and will literally woohoo anyone.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see my sim not run off and try to woohoo one of his girlfriends parents and friends.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This began when I installed lovestruck

I am not sure if I need to turn off autonomy but it is so over the top. My sim invited a friend over, she autonomously asked my sim her preference, she said she is interested in woohoo with men, despite that she tried to go woohoo her best friend in the shower. My sims boyfriend had some minor flirtation with my sims mother and the romance bar filled halfway. They then tried to go woohoo. Just now my sims dad came for a visit and the boyfriend tried to woohoo him even though both of them are only interested in women. What is going on?

  • Exact same thing is happening to me. My straight female sim invited her straight female neighbor over and they immediately tried to woohoo and it ruined the neighbors relationship with her husband. VERY frustrating. 

  • Hi @AlyssaHotter @stevienicks89 

    Try the following

    • Close the game
    • Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    • Repair the game
    • Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    • Start a new save game
    • Check if you still have the error
    • Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
  • It seems to be after the question asked autonomously about woohoo preferences the sim being asked interprets this as flirting and fills up the romance bar significantly. Then they disregard their preferences and turn ons/offs and proceed to try and woohoo.
