Sims really will flirt with anyone.
I remember someone here telling me sims 4 sims have gender preferences and that it was found in the code. Well after coming back to the game after a long hiatus I'm not only not convinced but I'm anno...

It have heard this from TS4 for a few years now. It seems after all f the 'improvements' that the game has made since 2014 many of the so called dynamic behaviours from the Sims themselves are as flawed as in day one!
Needless to say I have never seen this in TS3 and I don't remember it in TS1 or TS2 either. I haver nothing against people liking the same gender and I can imagine that a few players might play that way but some players wouldn't and thus this would need to be looked at.
That and hitting on you father in law is not cool anyway regardless of circumstances!
It's not him hitting on the same gender that bothers me. It bothers me the game has just decided he's gay when that was not the story I had planned. It's the fact he was hitting on his elderly father in law of all people. Like you say it doesn't happen in the sims 2 +3. Hitting on your father in law is just a tad icky when his wife and your pregnant wife is nearby.
It just seems to me they didn't bother to add in something as basic as gender preference. In the sims 2 once you set your gender preference you can change it but it takes a lot more than a simple flirt interaction.
Between this, endless bugs and lack of gameplay I'm ready to throw the towel in.
I once visited a party in my Sims 3 game with my sim and witnessed her father - being in a very steady and happy relationship - French kissing with her son in law ;) Both father and son in law were gay, so in that respect the game had it right. Didn't save though. Reopened the game and kept those two too busy this time around to do anything I would regret :p So it's not entirely true this is a Sims 4 thing only.

There, I knew I kept a picture somewhere, for the family album :D

Lol her Face!
Least they were gay though. Had my sims husband hit on his mother In law I could understand it. I don’t mind the game having some control but big decisions like their gender preference is my choice not the games. If I was going to make him gay he would have been hitting on her brother as they would make a nice pair.
I’ve never noticed it in the sims 3but my current save my sim flirts with everyone and anyone. And I mean everyone! She even got a wish to kiss Agnes Crumplebottom after she invited her to a pool party.
Yes, well *cough* there's Sims 3's facial expressions and reaction for you *cough* :grimace: And indeed, Sims 3 actually has romantic preference in the coding. And it builds up while you play.
