We’re looking to get it fixed ASAP, thanks for all the bug reports, we appreciate it. I just wanted to acknowledge that the Want to date a family member is something we know about, we’ve reproduced ourselves, we’re working on it. To make things more awkward (and potentially illegal), this can happen to Sims at the toddler and child stages. According to some players, a glitch has existed in the game for years that allows family members to gain romantic sentiments and bars with each other. This isn’t the first time that a bug has caused families to romance each other. Strangely, this even happens to Sims that are happily married.

So, after installing the update, you may find that your Sim wants to date their brother or parent. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the implementation, and the game generated Wants without regard to familial relationship, marital status, or sexual orientation. Each Sim has a number of goals they want to achieve and things they want to avoid. This update replaced Whims with a feature similar to the one found in The Sims 2. The issue stems from the Wants and Fears system that EA added in the July patch. Fortunately, the bug causing Sims to want to enter a relationship with their family members doesn’t mean they actually can.

Sims now can walk through the I Was a Teenage Garbage Artist pile of clutter.While there are mods that add incest to The Sims 4, making WooHoo with your family is typically a big no-no in the base game.

Sims without Fame no longer occasionally appear to have it.

All available Sims now can be selected for travel even if they are currently not on the current lot.

Adult Sims no longer tag teens in flirtatious Social Bunny posts.

The “Ask to be Girlfriend/Boyfriend” Want now targets appropriate Sims.

Sims with a short or long Lifespan no longer become younger or age dramatically when leaving Create a Sim.

The full list of corrected bugs can be found in the patch notes below.
