Retroactive Orientation Updates For Premade Queer Couples
Ever since the sexual orientation patch dropped, I was hoping it would retroactively change pre-existing premade same sex couples like the heckings and the old couple from cottage living and was extre...
The reason this sexual orientation feature was added is to support inclusiveness. It’s open to everyone to do whatever they want with it.
Does this mean that the sexual orientation of some of these households must be retroactively changed? I get the argument and it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if their orientation was changed. At the same time I don’t think it should be changed. Keep it open, regardless of what the household description says. Everyone’s Heckings are different:
It’s established that The Heckings are married. That’s all. This could suggest that they’re gay, but does it mean they’re truly gay? Does it mean they TRULY love one another, or just their little Pug Rosie? Perhaps Brent married Brant for the money. The scoundrel. The one with the auburn hair sometimes flirts with my sim’s girlfriend. Maybe he’s a gay man, maybe he’s a con man, maybe he’s up to something. Who knows? I chuckle at it, because I treat this game as lighthearted entertainment unless we’re talking about obsessive phone use, which I cannot control without a mod, unlike sexual orientation. If a feature does not work, such as dislikes ( they don’t really work do they?) that’s when I might start complaining. That means the core gameplay is faulty and needs fixing. If sexual orientation feature doesn’t work, well, that’s just not good enough. But if it does, we can do with it whatever we want.
My humble opinion: people should stop judging others for how they play or out of fear for how they might play. You may never know why others play the way they do, even if you think you do. You don’t. I got called ever ugly name under the Milky Way for even suggesting different gameplay methods.
I’d say just enjoy your own game. It’s a single player game. I suggest creating a template save with all the sims exactly the way you want them to be. That’s how I do it these days, it saves time. I’ve got gays I’ve got bis I’ve got straights and I’ve literally got…nuns. The Heckings…well, they’re the Heckings. If I want them to be gay gay…it takes about three clicks and done. Easy woopin’ Peasy. ?
