Sims really will flirt with anyone.

Very sorry for my English, I'm not a English speaker.

Right now for me this game is for single Sims, who only working, skilling and flirting with everyone without longer consequences. It is almost impossible to make a good, faithful pair of Sims here.

Now I got a pair of twins (they started as teens, now young adults) - man and woman, who are the best friends and living at the same roof. I planned for them marriages, but I want them to live in this house together. The house is very big so there are a lot of space for their families (maybe some children in the future).

For 90% in the Sims 4 there is an hidden attraction system, so I always starting a romance with "risqué question". It works for me any time - when it's positive, I starting the romance. Second one are the wishes of my Sims. As teens, my Sims had two clubs - the girl invites all teen girls and the boy - teen guys. Then the two clubs started partying at the same time and my teenager preferred in his wishes one Sim girl.
Ok, now they are engaged.

My girl find her mate incidentally and now she's a pair with this young vampire (Caleb Vatore in Polish version). His wishes are full of her head but... Now they are all ignoring each other. The vampire prefers computer or tv... When I changed her hair (different color) he started to flirt with her automatically but... 0 wishes. Not only one! It doesn't make sense!

But!

Caleb and my male Sim started romance... The fiancée of my male Sim wants to flirt with Caleb and with her sis in law! It's looks to me like this is very random - wishes, attractiveness, even gender.

I do not have problem with gay people, my best friend is gay and I want gay people in the Sims 4... But when I planning "straight" romance for my Sims I don't want surprises like that, seriously.

And the children, who playing this game, can see all these random flirting, the traitors in marriage (sorry, not very nice) and what they could learn from the Sims 4? Mom and dad could flirt with everyone, make woohoo with everyone so easily?

They must repair this, for me it's necessary. Maybe attraction system like in TS2 (we need to be SURE, that our Sims are really interesting each other), faithfulness in pairs with good relationship (when your Sim is in love he will rejecting all romance interactions from other automatically) and gender preferences, who really works!

Right now I just can't play this game in "Walt Disney style - happy, loving marriages). My Sims from now are hedonistic sociopaths... at least I'm not disappointed, when the fiancée of my favorite Sim wants to flirt with a neighbor...

Is there a hidden attraction system? All I’ve noticed is I can send a sim to flirt with any sim, spam a few romantic interactions and if the sim is feeling flirty and the relationship is ok they may get a whim to flirt with the target sim but the majority of social interactions are generic:

Kiss someone
Woohoo (no name just generic)
Start relationship (ok that’s not that’s worded but that’s the intent, comes up all the time when a sim is feeling flirty and even if the sim has a relationship

Repeat ad nauseum.

I don’t see very many targeted towards a sim they supposedly like, crush on, love etc which is why I don’t think there is any “attraction” nor can I suspend belief and buy that my sims actually care. I can in the previous games no problem. Just not this one.

We do need an attraction system but I’m not holding out for one. Think it would be too complex for this game.

I don’t think to be fair children are playing this game to be influenced by the behaviour of the sims but wouldn’t surprise me given the general change of tone in the game that it’s soemthing the powers that Be are aware of, hence why things are very watered down.
