Two of my sims are suddenly gay and in a relationship with each other

This has happened to me multiple times, usually it's because it was during a club gathering where 'be romantic' was a club activity or because one of the sims involved was Flirty. If it doesn't mess up the story I have planned I tend to just leave it that way, lol

I've not had accidental gays yet (I actively make them gay, so HA!), but I have had weird romantic relationships pop up within households I hadn't played in a while. For instance, I have my one main family, the son, Jayden, married Alexander Goth. Peachy and all that. After their marriage, I went to another household to play around, and then basically bounced around to multiple other households for a good while. I kept seeing Jayden pop up in the city at festivals and events, and didn't think much of it. Eventually, when I worked back around to my main household again, Jayden now had this romantic endeavor with a random girl townie - all this while he's married to Alex. So yeah, I've had the reverse happen.

In my very first game, I was trying to create a love triangle with a teen from my main household and his BFF since childhood with a female teen townie. I had all three at the BFF's house and was trying to have both boys flirt with her, but while managing the household adults, I went back to the teen boys to find the two of them flirting with each other and a lot of pink bar already, so they ended up together, and married with an adopted daughter. That's one of the best parts of this game, the random events that happen that can introduce the unexpected.

One of the sims in my OP now also hates/dislikes three other sims for whatever reason. No idea why

I wish my game does accidental gay couples..but it seems to think that is up to me lol

Possibly met at the romance festival?

I wish my game would give me random gays; that would be one of my favourite things!

I modded my game so that can't ever happen anymore. I am a traditionalist when it comes to that stuff I love the mod. It only allows for flirting with the opposite gender and is very much needed for to stop some of the random flirting. Same person made a mod that would only allow flirting with the same gender, so they catered to both preferences.

Gays have been around since the dawn of time, I wouldn't call that "tradition", but you do you.

I wish! I generally create non hetero relationships but my game rarely instigates any kind of romances without my control! My sims need to put themselves out there more lol.

Sooooo ... Back to the original topic, I haven’t seen this occurring randomly. And I’ve logged 150-ish hours in the game. I remember reading somewhere that sims have a hidden gender preference and that it is possible, but I’ve seen no evidence of it.
