[FIXED]Enchanting&Flirty Introduction available regardless of sexual orientation [ Edited ]

[rav_rainier]

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.99.305.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Holiday Celebration Pack and Desert Luxe Kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Make a sim that is only romantically and woohoo attracted to just one sex. The exploring romantically option should be "No". 2. Make sure charisma skill level is high enough to unlock the Enchanting Introduction interaction. 3. Click on a sim your player sim doesn't know yet that does not match their sexual orientation (example: while playing a gay male sim, click on a female sim). 4. The romance category is (shockingly) present, click on it to open it. 5. You will see that the Flirty and Enchanting Introduction interaction is available. 6. Select it. 7. The interaction will happen and it even activates and fills up the romance bar.
What happens when the bug occurs? The flirty and enchanting introduction interaction is available even if the target sim for the interaction does not match the player/active sim's sexual orientation. It even activates and fills up the romance bar. 1. A homosexual male sim can give a flirty or enchanting introduction to female sims and it activates and fills up the romance bar. 2. A heterosexual male sim can give a flirty or enchanting introduction to male sims and it activates and fills up the romance bar. 3. A homosexual female sim can give a flirty or enchanting introduction to male sims and it activates and fills up the romance bar. 4. A heterosexual female sim can give a flirty or enchanting introduction to female sims and it activates and fills up the romance bar.
What do you expect to see? It should not be available for homosexual sims when they are talking with sims of the opposite sex. It shouldn't fill up the romance bar. In fact the romance bar and romance interactions should be non-existent between homosexual sims and sims of the opposite sex. It should not be available for heterosexual sims when they are talking with sims of the same sex. It shouldn't fill up the romance bar. In fact the romance bar and romance interactions should be non-existent between heterosexual sims and sims of the same sex.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

The flirty and enchanting introduction interactions are available to sims when interacting with sims that does not match their sexual orientation.

You can complete the interaction successfully and it activates and fills up the romance bar.

This is wrong and disturbing as it does not respect the sim's sexual orientation. It completely throws the meaning of sexual orientation away.

Romance interactions and the romance bar should be totally not available/non-existent between sims who do not match based on sexual orientation.

Target Sims should at least reject these interactions if the active Sim doesn't match their sexual orientation, if the devs can't properly disable these based on active Sim's orientation

This is probably the same issue I'm having with my lesbian sim autonomously using FLIRTY introduction to male sims. It's just so wrong.

I'm currently playing a gay man, and a woman walked up to him at the gym and did a flirty introduction. The interaction not only succeeded but also gave them a romance bar. It SHOULD NEVER succeed if the sim does not match their sexual orientation.

This just happened in my game. Two heterosexual men, that does no romantic exploration either. One I played on a maker space lot, while he was crafting, the other hetero guy come to do an enchanting introduction, leading not only to succed but to fill the romance bar up to almost half... What I expect to see, absolute no chance a hetero male do anything romantic or introduction with another male, and if, only if a guay male does an introduction to a hetero male, the hetero male to reject the introduction and no romance bar is being created.

i have something similar to this.  my daughter is crushing a gay teen, bt this still is pink-barred after finding his orinatation.

additionally, she has a repeatative Whim to ask her Crush (only him) on Date.  bcs the opt is greyed out i have to wait for _time_ to rotate and spin another whim.

Completely, and second the comments talking about it succeeding on sims it shouldn't too.

It's similar to the issues with the "free love" NAP and neighborhood influences that came with EL. Free love completely overrides any orientation which...is a choice I suppose, but then sometimes my sim gets a call asking if another sim should go on a date with another specific sim I (the player) don't necessarily know or remember the orientation of. So, I'll say "go for it", get the follow up call that it "went well" or "are in love", then I check on the sims (who now have a pink bar with each other) only to find the relationship can't progress past that point because one of them "isn't interested in that kind of relationship". Like...how did the date go well then??? Actually, I've never had a follow up call that said the date went badly which...seems kind of a problem in and of itself. Like, I feel like there SHOULD be a fail possibility, based on the characters traits and, yes, orientation.

Anyway, that was a bit off topic, but it's just another example of how the orientations just aren't as integrated as I would like.
