Abduction in NL changes relationships?
Oddysey:
Just so I know we're on the same page here, Jordi, you do know that I'm the person who thinks the game should be *less* realistic, right? I wasn't intentionally criticizing your playing style; I just have no tact. Although I'm not sure what blind people have to do with this . . . Eh. Anyway.
I just make sims how they occur to me. Since I hang out with a fair number of gay or bi people, I have a fair number of gay or bi sims. Like in most areas, my sims are generally reflective of my environment, quirks, and prejudices. My closest friends are all geeks and tech people, I have a disproportionate number of Knowledge sims.

I tend to agree with you I make sims that somewhat reflect my environement and likes and dislikes.for example the only red-haired sims in my game are the Maxis Made characters simply because I dont like red hair.so my Sims reflect that quirk in my personality. if a sim becomes gay through its own autonomous behavior I would not change the Sim.if my Sim is a Caucasion sim and falls in love with a sim of different heritage I go with it and vice versa ifI have a African American Sim that has chemistry with a sim that is caucasian I go with it as a result my custom hoods tend to be racially and sexually diverse Just like RL. in my current hood Romance sims are disproportianate to the rest of my neighborhood .I only have 1 fortune sim and 1 knowledge sim currently. I roll dice to choose aspiration. the only aspiration that is selectable I dont really like is fortune. simply because in RL I detest greed, however Fortune sims do need to be in my hodd to keep it more realistic for me. :)

Now see? There ya go! If someone doesn't have gays/bis/whatever in their game they're accused of not being diverse, whereas true diversity is an acceptance of all things, including those people who prefer to play straight couples or those who choose to play whatever combos they come up with. That's one of the things that makes this game so great is that we all have choices in how we play, and there is no 'right' way to do it. :D

Well, I'm gay, and now that I think about it I don't actually have any gay Sims.
...that's really weird. :-[
