How does Romantic Relationship Preference get made?

I think the preference will be set as your sims sucessfully flirt with the intended gender of your choice, everything will be autonomous later on.

So having my intended slutty male sim to have flirted, and woohooed a female, means that he is straight then. :neutral: Great I did mess up with him. I'll need to get rid of him and start over. Thanks for the comment :smiley:

You don't need to start over. Just have him flirt with a guy. I don't really think sims have a set preference either way. They pretty much like whatever sim you tell them to. Though some relationships are harder to start than others but that really just depends more on the sims mood at the time or if another sim is in the conversation when they try to flirt, not their gender.

Theoretically all sims start as bisexual and then you can have them identify however you and they want based on their actions. You don't need to delete that sim if you'd like to have him come out further. He can be bi or gay, if he's woohooing with both genders then he's likely bisexual unless he comes out as gay afterward.

You aren't going to ruin his ability to be attractive to men if he initiates flirting with them at least at first. If you aren't planning to have him come out afterward then I'm not sure why you have him woohooing with a woman but it's your game and you can do what you want.

I've had gay, straight and bi sims in my game. I've been playing a lot of heteronormative households lately but that's because when I have gay sims in my game, I just "know". It's not based on stereotyping but it's just clear that they have a preference and unless they are bi, I don't have them flirt with the other gender. Jade Rosa and Ulrike Faust are both gay women in my game. They aren't bi and they just aren't interested in men like that. Other than the Heckings and IL couples, I've had 5 sims who weren't straight in my rotation so far. It's a fact about them like the rest of a sim's back story. They might have favorite foods, music, interest and they have orientations.

Several roommates in my game recently have been gay as well. I've treated them like all other roommates and rolled with it until they moved out on their own.

You don't have to play like me though.

Interesting! My male sim met Jade at a nightclub. I wasn't planning on him having a romantic relationship, but they really hit it off. Their friendship and flirty meters raised quicker than any others Sims in my game. I don't have any mods.

True, I did make him sleep with both parents of the house XD And nothing bad came from it XD Thanks

Well, he got to be alone with the mom of the house cause the teens went to school and her husband went to work. XD I randomly decided they should do it.

Thanks for your reassurance about my risky man sim, I had played more of the game and got him to chat with other sims, and it seems like he can still get male attention, hehe, as always bring the flirty mood out of nowhere. I don't think there's a way to come out as a specific sexuality in the game, but either way it was fun to play as him and be so flirty with so many. He's based off of a character who is male and gay, yet will sleep with anyone if they pay him for it.

It's very amusing to see how sims react to interactions, to flirt back or just up and leave. Like why did you come over here to talk then just leave cause you saw me talking to myself?! XD Sim logic is crazy.

It sounds like you had fun in your game :smiley: And don't worry, I made the husband get with my slutty sim so both married partners slept with him xD And they didn't even discuss it or feel bad about it. I was surprised by that. I thought they would have felt bad about woohooing with someone that isn't their lover. XD

Thanks for commenting :smiley:

Sorry I misunderstood your comment. Don't worry I decide to keep my slutty sim, and I'll do want you said, have him chat up males until he does it on his own xD I already got him to sleep with the husband of the house XD So now the married couple are even having slept with the same man XD Lol, they didn't even talk about it. I thought they would discuss it, feel bad for sleeping with another sim xD But they didn't talk about it xD No hurt feelings at all Lol. I thought it would bring up some kind of drama but it didn't xD
