SEXUAL ORIENTATION

One thing I think should be included in a patch or update is the ability to change a Sim's sexual orientation. I know that you can have gay marriages, but all Sims are naturally bisexual. If you could change a Sim's sexual orientation and make them gay (or straight) I think it would be a great thing to include. :thumbup:

There are actual settings in the game for sexual orientation, EA allows users habits to dictate how they change.
If you use Twallan's Master Controller, you can set gender preference on any sim you choose.
I really don't see why being able to set orientation officially would be a big deal, it facilitates EVERYONE doing what THEY WANT.
Supporters of all sexual orientations would be able to set any sim to whatever orientation they like so that the world their particular sim is in suits the player's tastes.
It's neither here nor there, since Twallan in his infinite wisdom allows access to this setting with his awesome mod.
It's up to the *player* to determine whether a Sim is gay or straight. If this works anything like the Sims 2 did, the player determines the sexual orientation of the Sim depending on which gender the Sim chooses to have romantic interactions with.
People are already complaining because they feel that EA limits their gameplay options. Why take away even more control from the player by putting this option in?

I Disapprove (Naturally)

I agree with this, to have the option to select Homosexual or bisexual, suppose the situation of a girl flirting with a male Homosexual, and how would he react, it would be interesting I think.
I don't understand why people would be offended. Maybe that's just me being naive but I don't see the big problem.
I don't think it'll happen though.
So yeah....But it's a vague idea that doesn't need to be addressed any time soon.
I love this idea because it would make it seem more realistic
(When it starts to maybe become offensive is when sims start reacting badly to gay sims, otherwise I see no bad aspects to adding this to the game)
Weren't we able to somewhat control this in Sims 2?
Hmm... Did Twallan make Awesomemod too? :-P
Btw, if anyone has more slider suggestions or ideas for things that they would like to see in the Create-A-Sim, please post them in my Create-A-Sim Overhaul thread. I'd love to just compile ideas and anything that I missed would be appreciated.

I agree its not so much of a problem in-game, however for sims in story progression it works, and also it would interesting for a female sim to go up to a gay guy and then get rejected because he's gay (instead of every sim falling for your sim simply because they used a romantic option)
This...and we can already adjust gender preference for our sims just by having them interact differently with sims of each gender. Romantic toward only the opposite sex=straight. Romantic toward only the same sex=gay. Romantic with both=bi.

I agree its kinda weird if u have your girl married to a guy and then she flirts with another girl
I don't understand why it's perfectly acceptable for the game's creators to allow Sims to be promiscuous with any and every adult Sim that walks down the street, but having an actual sexual orientation (and adhering to it) is suddenly taboo?
But they don't always STICK with those preferences. It's really way too easy to sway a Sim who is supposedly "straight" (married to someone of the opposite sex) into having an affair with their same-sex close friend. Real life is not like this. Straight guys just don't start flirting with their male buddies (and the male buddies readily respond).
Some people would get all offended and cause quite a stir.
I agree with you here, this is the only reason I think they should include the option because it hard get your sims to stick with one perference.
