Siblings keep calling to date eachother.

★ Guide

I don't know what's going on with the bug reporting. "new topic" used to take me to it but now the form is just gone? Ill copy and paste it but it's still weird its not here. I don't know where it went or what I'm doing differently. Weird.

This has happened 6 times in a row. None of them have ever called to ask to date anyone else. They only want to date their siblings. They call to ask about being friends with other sims, but only ask to date their siblings. If they were to interact in the overworld it would say "half brother/sister" and would have no romantic options available.

@Rexhonk After making a new save file, where i made three other families all with a sister and brother, befriended them, and then played as normal in a different family, i can say that this issue seems uncomfortably common, within around three sims days one had already asked if they should pursue a romantic relationship with their sibling.

Sims 4 Neighborhood stories

★★★ Newbie

Yeah so I was playing the 100 baby challenge, and with the new-ish neighborhood stories sims that your sim knows call to ask about friendships and romances. My son's daughter called my sim to ask about pursuing a romantic relationship with her half brother. You could use the excuse that they wouldn't know each other, but they're not that far apart in age and I believe they were in the house at the same time. I don't really have a question, it's more of just something small that could be fixed.

NPC phone call event makes her date her own brother?

★ Novice

Before I start, no, i have no mods in my game.

But my sim's husband received a phone call of his sister asking if she shouls ask X sim to a date, i pick yes. I didn't know who that sim was so i thoguht "yeah, sure, why not". I went to check later cuz i thought it would be cool if my sim's child could have some cousins, turns out the sim that the sister was asking about was her OTHER brother. Yes, she was asking if she should date her own brother lol.

Then i check her relationships and she even have a romance bar with her brother (again, NO mods).

Did it happen with anyone already? Is it common in ts4?

Yeah, the just forgot AGAIN to make right filters. It’s a vanilla issue. I am sorry, you sister is now in love with her brother. … best is to go back to an older save if you don’t like this kind of love between family.  (If you play on PC you can fix it with MCCC, if you play on console you can’t fix it; I am truly sorry for this)

Sim wants to date cousin?

★★ Apprentice

I was playing The Sims 4 yesterday when my sim got one of those advice calls from her brother, Henry, and he asked her if she thinks he should date their cousin. It said, "Hey Violet! I think Ashlee Spivey is pretty cute, should I ask her out?" I of course said no, but I'm assuming this is a bug? They are first cousins (Ashlee's mom and Violet & Henry's mom are sisters.) I had no mods installed at the time, only a bit of CAS CC.
