Sexual orientation not working with certain mods....

I'm not going to name the mods here (likely not allowed because of their non-vanilla nature), but the sexual orientation thing just isn't showing up when playing with mods. Not that it really bothers me that much - I play my non-vanilla games how i play them and don't need to worry about it. It is possible that it is just a mod thing and the developers haven't figured out how to integrate their mod with it. Then again, it may be that the mods cancel out that particular function. Who knows. But just letting the community know that - with certain non-vanilla mods, the sexual orientation function is non-functional.

    @taffster74 Oh, hey! It's you again (not in a bad way)

    This is the log information from that mod

    "Sims have to match both the Romantic Attraction and the Interest in WooHoo to agree to have woohoo.

    Most of the relationship-related features only require matching the Romantic Attraction. Adjusting preference towards Male/Female via Attractiveness will adjust the preferences in CAS."

    Does this make sense to you?

    @Neechan1 kinda yeah. after a bit of perusing through the mod menus, i think it's more of a non-compatibility thing, as the mods have their own orientation function in them.

    @taffster74 It’s because if you have that particular mod, you picking gender preferences in cas influences the preferences for it as well.

    But if you want to do it with that mod, you have to click on that sim and select attractiveness and click on “choose (sim name)‘s preferences” and pick the first 2 options at the top. It’s found there.

    @taffster74 try wait what’s your problem? (i swear these aren’t fighting words) is it that the sexual orientation isn’t showing in sims profile, or that ‘certain’ mod actions aren’t working because of the sexual orientation thing ?

    @httpyaannaa I think it's just that a certain range of mods i use already has its own orientation grading system so it kind-of cancels out the preference chooser that comes with HSY. I did play (albeitly briefly) with no mods and the preference chooser was there, without mods it's not. Like I said, it's likely that it's the mod having it's own preference grader.
