Sexual orientation issues

As a queer being I really appreaciate the things we can do/see/experience in this game.
But imo it's more important to have a choice in things we don't want to do/see/experience.
It's all about consens and options and giving us a choice.
Not all persons (for example ARO/ACE or people with a difficult past) have fun to experience/watch romantic interactions ingame.
And I also can understand people who don't want to experience same gender romances ingame.
I feel they are doing the queer community a disservice here by forcing this on all players.
No one will feel more open and friendly and understanding towards us if being pushed like this.

This also counts, for example, for death (we have an option there but not for all deaths, animal deaths are the worst for me), burglary, and now, with the new pack: eviction. Or when they turn the electricity off.
If you experience such things in real life, they are not that funny anymore ingame.
I wish there were a bit more sensibilty from EA in these matters too.

And even if there are cheats/mods and hidden options to avoid this.
Please put them there where also unexperienced players can easily find them!
Or make it so that alle these things have to be toggled ON instead of OFF!
Instead of implementing the third(!) tutorial ?

Excellent comment. Exactly how I feel about the sexual orientation too. It should be an option. I remember watching the livestream when it was introduced, and the Simguru showing it said there was no toggle on/off because you can't do that in real life. I appreciate that sentiment but for me this is a game not real life, and I want to play any way I want with no rules or judgement as the game advertises. It breaks the immersion for me if I have to change my sims so I can play the story I want in my way.
