Missing Sexual Orientation Option After Update

Your post mentions taking out some mods but it's not completely clear to me from the wording if you removed ALL mods and cc. I know at least one mod is causing the orientation thing to not show up, so if you have other mods make sure you remove them all.
Sorry if you have already removed all of them, it just isn't clear to me and I'm hoping to help you find a solution.

To add to this, you may also need to delete the localthumbcache file, if you haven't already.

Also if you use any UI type mods, those have the tendency to mess with such features.

I think I found the culprit after isolating 7 of Bienchens mods in a 50/50 folder. It was sim4me_norandomaccessoriesandmakeup.package that was preventing me from seeing the sexual orientation options.

What mod is that? I can tell you if I have that mod installed.

I deleted the localthumbcache file twice already.

You should remove all of your mods before posting on the forum. Not to sound rude, it just makes it harder for us to actually help people, and makes bug reporting more difficult.

Glad you found out which mod it is, but from now on try to remove ALL mods and test your game before posting a bug report. The half and half method is a great solution to find out WHICH mod is breaking things once you've confirmed it is indeed a mod solution.

Simply take out half of your mods and place them in a folder on your desktop. Start the game. If the problem goes away, then one of those mods you took out is the culprit. If the problem still ceases, then the mod is still in your game. Keep taking half and half until you narrow down the mod. This is the most effecient way to figure out which mod it is.

@Zeldaboy180 What you mean that's not how it works. If I would have taken my mods out. The issue would still have been there. I didn't know what the problem was and had to search around to see if anyone else was dealing with the same issue. I saw 2 people who reported the issue elsewhere. So, I don't know how me mentioning this makes it difficult especially if I created the thread myself to get help. I would like to thank everyone who tried to help though, even if it was to remind me on steps that I need to take to resolve the issue.

No, if you would have taken the mods out, you would have seen that the issue would have gone away. Which is exactly what happened when you removed the mod causing the issue.

Taking all your mods out to test is how you determine if it is indeed a "game" issue or a "mod" issue.

Ok, In hindsight, I realized what I needed to do but still don't know how me reaching out for help make it difficult for bug reporting, especially when I came back to tell people what mod it was causing the issue and I've seen other people say their sexual orientation tab wasn't showing. So, maybe they will see this thread and realize why.

No one said you shouldn't reach out for help, just remove all mods before doing so. If you'd done that, it would've fixed your problem. EA isn't responsible for mods and when people post bugs, it's assumed that it's an actual bug, not something caused by mods.

Also, if someone reports a bug on the official bug forum, the rules state to only post about vanilla games or after all mods are removed. Otherwise, the developers waste time trying to fix it. Everyone's just trying to help, so please don't take it the wrong way.

Thank goodness I only play vanilla on my PC. I have the romantic choices in my CAS.
