    @MzMelonz What are the sexual orientations for both Sims ? Did you check ?

    Is it just that Sims combination or any you try ?

    @crinrictThanks for your reply! Yes, I checked into this. So the sim I have is a female and she is interested in men. The sim of interest is a male and he is opened to exploring romantically, but his romance interest is no one and his woohoo interest is female.

    Additionally, I tested this with any sim that I could pass that I already introduced myself to and it shows the same two options for everyone.

    Lastly, I haven’t tried seeing if this happens outside of the current sim I am playing yet. I am playing the Scenario where I have to make 1 mil simolions.

    p.s. There is also no option to have a woohoo partner for anyone either with this current scenario sim I am playing.

    @MzMelonz Could you make a copy of your save and remove the scenarios to see if it's related to that ?

    @crinrict I finally did this to test (and one other thing). So, in removing the active sim from the scenario, the options didn’t change. She still only had those two options. It seems like the glitch is related to this scenario. Even if you exit out if it. I opted to turn back on the scenario to try to complete it since turning it off was just a test anyways. Then I decided to try playing her love interest since he is just a normal sim without a scenario. So I am actively playing him right now and he has the full panel of romance options available when communicating with her.

    @crinrictAlso, I think I found the problem (which may also be a glitch). However, somehow those initial interest I mentioned up top are all different. She has no romantic interest of any kind now (which makes me think I’m crazy). However, no romantic interest, no woohoo interest, and not interested in exploring. Maybe these changed upon getting into the scenario. I will look more into this soon with another sim to see what happens. In the meantime, my issue has been solved because she literally is not interested in anything. I guess this is to make sure nothing influences the scenario she is actively in. But I have to check into that with a different sim when I get a chance.

    I also encounter the same problem. Not sure when it start to happened, I think it happened for about a week now (Before and after the last SDX). I only play with one saves this past week and one household only. It's an old saves and not a scenario one. If I remember correctly, I found 2 Sims that only have 2 romance option. The thing is I don't remember both my Sim and the NPC romantic & woohoo preferences. I definitely need to play more today and see if I can came up with anything.

    Note: I only have Base Game, free Stuff Pack and free Kit. No Mods or CC installed.

    @crinrict I'm so sorry. It turns out my female Sim is only interested in male and not romantically exploring. The NPC I was talking about is all female! I forget that I changed my Sim sexual orientation at some point, I usually just leave them as they are. I'm guessing those two romantic options are normal when straight Sim is interacting with the same gender.
    In conclusion: I am embarrassed.

    @MzMelonz I'm going to move this to game issues. If you think the sexual orientation changed on it's own at some point (or even better if you can replicate that this happens when you switch to the scenario), please create a new report explicitly for that.
