Forbidden Love

Surely it’s a bug.

It might be a bug, but it's funny. My daughter wanted me to share it.

My daughter web-searched it and says that the only other people with this have mods. I don't have any mods, but for some reason the little boy has a crush on the woman that lives with him. She's even listed as "romantic interest" when he opens her profile.

I’ve heard of this happening without mods. It was supposed to be fixed in an update but I’ve seen recent reports of it still happening. Have you looked at the bug site for a bug report or filed one? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

My daughter doesn't want me to do anything to stop it. She thinks it's great. She even made me take screenshots to send to one of her friends.
The boy and his dad's lover have an option to "just be friends" and she says "whatever you do, don't push that!" She doesn't even want me to age him up to a teen.

It's not that abnormal actually. A lot of little kids develop crushes on teens and adults. The only creepy thing is that apparently the feeling is mutual. (They don't have options to flirt with each other though, just "romantic interest".)

FWIW, she is very sexy; with the romantic, alluring, and player traits. Maybe her sexy traits overpowered him? The boy's parents both have all of those traits too, and did before he was conceived. (They even named him Eros, because his mom is my seductress character.) I wonder if the fact that he was conceived as the child of two romantic characters has anything to do with it?

Another factor is that she's a ghost, but I think he had a crush on her before she died. His mother is a powerful sorceress. Maybe she cast a love spell on him by mistake? (Maybe I should test that out by seeing is she can cast love spells on children?)

His eldest sister (half-sister) just got married, and his dad looked really upset. I thought that was strange, because he was acting like a jealous sim. I thought "don't tell me he had the hots for his stepdaughter!?!" I checked his profile from her, and sure enough he was listed as "romantic interest". Ew, that's creepy.

But I guess it's ok, because they're not related by blood. But hey, he married her mom when she was a child (when they moved from xbox to my pc), so he's practically her dad.

Ack, I don't believe it! Her stepfather came up and slapped her silly, in front of the groom, at her wedding!

I'm sorry, but that's not appropriate. This is her wedding, and a jealous stepfather slaps his stepdaughter for getting married to somebody else? What's wrong with him?

So I made her slap him back.

It sounds an exhaustingly sexy game you're playing. Perhaps mods are making it moreso?

Most people think this bug is sick and disgusting, and the more info Maxis has through bug reports the more likely it is to get fixed, but you do you I guess. An adult slapping another adult was what crossed the line for you, very interesting.

Yeah... dat bug is a real dream for some people... who shoul be in jail yes, behind bars and all.
