Teen Romance Options Gone

I don’t really remember when it happened as I haven’t had a teen in my family for a while, but my teen has a “boyfriend” and they can’t do anything. They can’t become officially bf or gf… their romance is nearly at 100 and so is their friendship level, but every interaction is just friendly. 

I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the new update and the new menu that shows up with romance (affection, intimacy etc). I tried removing all mods and have restarted the game multiple times, but this is happening still regardless of mods. I think it might be a bug in the game, but maybe I’m doing something wrong??

I was sure teens could mess around in bed too, but my sim doesn’t have that option either! It’s a bit annoying not being able to have a boyfriend or girlfriend officially!! 

And yes, both sims are of age. They are both teenagers!


Anyone else have this issue?

    I’m currently having this issue as well- two teens were dating, the guy is my household and the girl is not, and he aged up to a YA and she’s still a teen. They were partners and “promised” to one another, but he can no longer use romantic options on her for interactions. :/ 

    I don’t use mods and don’t own DLCs.

    Thanks for the tip! Once the female sim aged up it was okay- fortunately she aged up a few days after my guy did. 😅 I can take a look at the bug report, thanks again!

    Young adults and teens can't flirt with one another. It's a game mechanic, not a bug. They can be romantic with eachother again once she ages up to a young adult as well.
