So am I the only one not thrilled about the new Loyal trait?
I don't know, I just really wish that the Sims team hadn't included "avoiding cheating at all costs" in the trait description. In my gameplay, I pretty frequently end up playing with polyamorous Sims, which I do have to use mods to achieve because the Sims as-is only recognizes monogamy or cheating. It's frustrating to see this wording because people who are ethically nonmonogamous can still be very loyal to their friends and partners, and the subtext within the game that they cannot really be loyal if they're dating multiple people is a harmful stereotype. Because of this, I'll probably never use this trait for my sims.
I wish that there was more official support for polyamory in Sims from the Sims team, and with all their talk of making the game more inclusive to different sexualities and gender identities, I thought that they might add more recognition for poly/ethically nonmonogamous people. But this trait as-is is definitely not it.
