More Interactions + Sexual Orientation Selection

Just a couple of things I was thinking while playing last night.
When you have a couple, you can select their lover and tell them to "Kiss" but what about an interaction that says "Kiss Me".
Also, I had one of my Sims try to hook someone up last night with another person and they immediately said "Well, she sounds like quite a catch. I'll introduce myself next time."
Now, someone pointed out that why does it seem every woman in this game is attracted to other women. I suggested this should be a selection so when my Sim Claire try to hook her friend Mina up with another woman, depending on Mina's preference her response should have been either:
(if likes women): "Well, she sounds like quite a catch."
(if straight): "Thanks, but I'm afraid I am not like that."

You control your Sims' orientation by deciding with whom you want them to flirt, if anyone.

One thing I do with there was though is a more subtle kiss. The current ‘Kiss’ interaction is a bit like hands on😂Can we not have a like goodbye kiss before a sim goes to work? Or just a peck. Also why can’t they kiss their kids? You know how toddlers get the,sad a parents left moodlet thing. I wish the parents could kiss them goodbye and that moodlet could be prevented?

Sim parents can kiss their kids on the cheek if you have parenthood I think it is.
As for sexual orientation I've seen it once that my straight Sim suddenly started flirting with a same gender Sim and next thing I knew they were kissing and had woohoo lined up which was very annoying, no mods, and he was happily married to his wife and the same gender Sim was a stranger to him (in fact it was his retail customer and he was supposed to be ringing him up.... it must have been a glitch it was about a year ago and I've never had the issue since thankfully. RIght now I believe that Sim sexual preferences are an option to the player, if you make them flirt with both genders they will, if you make them flirt with one or the other they'll will choose that gender on their own too.
omg my wishlist for the sims 4, it makes no sense if i want to have a gay sim and romantic interactions pop up when he talks to females but when he talks to males, the interactions seem to stay friendly/funny. I wish you could choose a sexuality, and it would be nice to have because there are mods like mcc or 🐸🐸🐸🐸 (TURNING OFF THE FUNNY BUSINESS OBVIOUSLY) that let you have sexualities but... they dont really work like i would like them to. so please sims team, do consider.
I do want to say more interactions are always welcome. For less passionate affection, I go for "Kiss on the Cheek". My family Sims always also go for "Hug lovingly", even if it is indistinguishable from "Hug".
I try to get a Kiss on the Cheek in, on the way out the door to work - don't always manage it.
More platonic affection would also be nice.

umm i didn't know that sexualities were not teen content? legit woohooing exists, you should probably reconsider your statement, unless you are just anti lgbtq...
Once I create a romantic interest in another sim and haven't asked to just be friends, then open flirting all the time is fine. I just sometimes want to choose everyone they flirt with. Asking to just be friends should remove that sim from the romantic panel, too.
On a separate but similar vein, why is "Ask if Single" a romantic interaction?
A rather bold statement to make considering this is the same game that allows for same sex marriage and gender identity. With that in mind, an option for orientation preference doesn't sound like a far-fetched idea.
I hate how everyone flirts with everyone and no one has a preference. I especially don't like how they do it regardless of their married status or not. I am constantly having female townie sims flirt with my married should be straight female sims and they always reciprocate. It makes all of no sense. If I have a sim married to a person of the opposite gender, I'd like the option to have them reject same sex advances. All they need to do is make a CAS setting that lets us state who our sims are and aren't attracted to. Surely they could have done that in the 6 years this game has been out. I really hope they add something like this at some point, because it's very annoying to have to be constantly hovering over my married sims just to make sure they aren't flirting with other people.
yessss exactly! I wish there were more restrictions, but sadly there arent. It would be amazing if we could choose it in CAS, tbh I dont even think it would be the hardest thing to do, and it exists irl so why not in the sims?
Even a woman who has about 30 female lovers visited a bar and was doing the same thing but this time she enchanted a male Sim.
So I think a preference option would be nice. If it's set to "Undecided", after a woman keeps flirting with other women then after awhile, her preference is decided.
But I would also like more romantic interactions between partners, especially differences between teen relationships and married couples.
They could add the proposal kiss as a kiss peck option or a goodbye or hello kiss. I wish they would.
OOOOOOHH that's so good! the proposal kiss is very nice and subtle, idk why they haven't made that an interaction on it's own, also I always kinda found it lame that they reuse animations, especially with the mistletoe kiss, it's just a first kiss with putting a mistletoe on top, the sims shouldn't look shocked lol...
I'm not sure how... my daughter is 16 and told us when she was 12 that she always knew she liked girls, the same way I always knew I liked boys. Neither of us had an "ah hah" moment, we just always knew. It's a part of who we are, not a thing that's outwardly visible or an activity you do. So I'm unclear on how a trait like sexual preference would change the rating.
I would like to be able set preference in CAS. Or have the preference be set via gameplay like it was in Sims 2. If you flirted with both, their preference stayed in the middle. If you flirted more with one or the other, it would move that way. I sometimes went into SimPE and set them manually when I had a specific story in mind.
I don't see them adding in depth gameplay like that, but surely they could add a checkbox for preference- male, female, both, neither- that would stop certain behavior or cause a negative or positive reaction to it.
I haven't noticed townies' behavior with each other one way or the other, I don't pay much attention to them in general. But, my own Sims start flirting with townies or townies flirt with them all the time on community lots.
On a related note, it would be nice if married Sims didn't randomly flirt/get flirted with without you initiating it.

Sims should have a sexual orientation option: gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc. I believe Story Progression will eventually be implemented in the game, not sure how long we need to wait but it will come. When I create a completely new save file with new lots and households, I don't want the sims that supposed to be gay, starting a relationship with a female and then have kids. This will just ruin the story I created for them.
It's also great if the game itself somehow decides the orientation of the kid in our active household. But there's must be an option to turn this off (meaning that we can decide the orientation when the baby was born).
Sorry if my English is kinda messy, not native speaker here.
I wish there was an option at marriage to choose last names, like there is when a baby is born. Sometimes I want my Sims to keep their names, sometimes I want to change them. And right now I have to go into full edit mode to do it. Certainly not hard to do, but whenever something can be done without cheating, I'm happier.
