I'm glad they're adding sexual orientation, and I hope this is a baby step to a more in-depth attraction system later on (you know, one where we can use traits and physical attributes as turnoffs/turnons). Though, this does make the female werewolf beast form customization issue stick out even more as a side-effect. All of these great tools to customize our sims' sexual and gender identity...but female werewolves have their busts locked to flat and you have to pull the hip and waist sliders to maximim or near maximum to give them proper feminine curves when transformed. Thanks for the official sexual orientation options...now please fix female werewolves' beast forms.
Answer about the female werewolves breasts:
Can female werewolves’ breasts be seen?
Yes, but they’d be wolf te-ats, not human breasts.
One might think that a wolf with human breasts would draw attention first to the presence of breasts, NOT the absence of a tail. So “no tail” being the distinguishing mark for classic werewolves means their breasts are actually wolf te-ats.
That's not an answer, let alone an acceptable one. If I can make a bisexual female human sim with cartoonishly exaggerated bust, waist, hips, and behind, who is also able to get other people pregnant, then I should be able to have proper breasts and feminine curves on my female werewolf in her werewolf form. Period.
That certainly is an answer - I got it off a sight dedicated to people who believe in WW.
You can make your Sims, WW or not look anyway you want in CAS.
The game has already been setting Gender Preferences for random townies. It's been doing it for over a year.
When I start a new save with a single Sim, unless that Sim has a Gender Preference, the only Sims that have a GP are married premades which is one of the reasons why I didn't think it made sense for the game to make them appear at every venue and community lot. Why would my single unattached Sim be interested in meeting a married Sim? I think I found out why. One of the biggest flirts in my game has consistently been Brant Hecking, who's a great Sim to play. Brent not so much because he seems to be always angry or enraged. I think our Sims are supposed to be home-wreckers.
For the past year or so, I've noticed that random townies won't have a GP until my playable Sim becomes romantically involved with someone. Once my playable Sim has established a GP then all random townies generated after that will have a GP too, including children. The combination I see most often is that a townie will have a GP of +100 for Male and +100 for Female. This includes newly generated townie children. I wonder if this is how it's going to be handled after the update? I'm not really too keen on kids having a GP but knowing EA/Maxis this is probably intended.
How did you view the "GP" of children? When I use MCCC to view gender preferences on Sims, I have absolutely never seen one appear on a Sim child. Teens and up only. I saw one other person say that they saw a gender preference on a child Sim once, and it sounded like that was a glitch, or possibly a child that someone had aged down from an older age group. Were you using MCCC, or seeing this another way?
My username has been my internet handle for over 20 years since I was 16 and refers to when I had a crush on a very tall boy. I intend absolutely no violence toward beautiful giraffes.
As I said above, I do advise caution for the Gurus not to update the preferences of pre-existing NPC's as I firmly believe they should be left in the hands of players to decide. But that's all I can do.
The Gurus said in the live stream that all premades already in the game will not have sexual orientations. They will be the same as always. They were going to go back and update them, but decided there are too many and they scrapped the idea.
Ahhh, I must have skipped over that part of the live stream and got confused by the announcement that EA released about the sexuality update. I'm hoping it's not as chaotic as TS3 attraction system, hoo boy that was a hot mess.
It was towards the end of their discussion of the system if I remember correctly. The whole conversation starts around the 31:00 mark.
I don't remember a lot about that attraction system, I recall it had things like zodiac signs, favorite color, things like that. That's the kind of thing I don't want to see the TS4 attraction system to be built around. It can be a minor part of it, but not something that carries a lot of weight. I want the attraction system to be built around things like personality traits, shared interests, at the top, hair color and eye color somewhere in the middle or lower end lower end of points of attraction. I'd love for that system to have a whole list of things that our sims find attractive and allow so to pick and choose and then have those choices ranked and weighted. If you have a list the things at the top are more important, more powerful. Or have two tiers of things they find attractive, things in tier 1 are twice as strong as things in tier 2. I don't want it to be all about superficial appearances.
Oh yeah, I had to stop watching around that point because I had other things to do at the time. So no wonder I missed it lol.
From what I remember TS3 attraction system was focused around zodiac, fave colour and matching traits. No joke, I had a whole town in love with my married sim because they somehow had traits that matched with everyone in said town. Got a bunch of unsolicited love letters and gifts. Was quite annoying as you can imagine, especially since my sim was married and happily so.
Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults
Seriously, though, I'm really happy this is finally going to be in the game. Although, I think the time it takes to set up a new game world will probably double, maybe triple (yikes). I hope there will be a way to randomize preferences with newly created townies in the game.
I wonder if we'll be able to modify the percentages? I already have orientation in my game because of WW. I like being able to tweak the percentages depending on the savegame -- some having smaller, realistic percentages, and others having expansive 'everyone is bi' settings.
It may not be realistic.
A Kinsey scale shows that there are several levels of bisexual which means some people who think to be heterosexual or homosexual may be more or less bisexual in reality.
And if 85% of people think to be hetero, nobody knows the percentage of asexual / aromantic.
Sexual Orientation update shows us that there are more layers.
The current Live Mode UI gives no info about the played sim or the other sims.
I think the sexual orientation is as much important as traits, this info should be visible without CAS.

It's as deeply personal to our sims as it would be to any of us. You should have to get to know them really well before you ask something so personal. I get this is a game, but still it should be a question we should have to work up to. Bravo to the devs for making it something you really have to get to know another really well for first to know the answer to. Now if we could identify a lot as a gay or lesbian hangout then it should be a lower bar, but not an automatic by any means. There is always that straight person who came with friends.

If this was the case, that would be beyond perfect.
me being a demiromantic asexual has absolutely nothing to do with what kind of action i should advocate for in the real world and is, in fact, a facet of my own personality, and thus is a valid representation to request for in a life simulator where you are encouraged to simulate yourself.
i'd like to thank the sims team for finally being able to officially make sims not interested in woohoo, but you can still have romantic interests with.

Romance, sexuality, and gender are three complicated and distinctly different aspects of life. Not one single harmonious entity. I am trans and bi curious myself so I totally get you.
I am very happy to see this update, I know longer have to debate if to install a mod! It is there for everyone.
One factor of sims 4 I really enjoy are features like these, the pregnancy preference being added to begin with was what drew me in ( And toddlers) aka I am able to make same sex couples have children, mod free, I love that freedom of the sims 4.
Also my two cents? I’d just ignore those that have different or misguided ideals than yours, energy is best conserved.

I see it as a player and I'm not fan of hide-and-seek.
For example all my sims have the Observant trait to let me know all the traits from the beginning.
The sims should tell me everything about them, I'm playing with their life .
Maybe a new Satisfaction reward trait could give this info.

Nothing wrong with that approach. I have used that trait before on a sim with "psychic abilities". I actually enjoy having to work at getting to know the other sims, but that's just me.🙂
