Sexual Preference Not Changed By Woo-Hooing?
jrd:
They are, since Twojeffs' Casual Romance mod uses completely new interactions, and doesn't affect or call the normal interactions at all.

I think you have to be careful which ones you install, though I think Peacado's and TwoJeffs are normally compatible.
Oh they definately are compatible. I have both Pescado's romancemod and twojeffs' Casual Woohoo, as well as JenFlower's Teen Woohoo hack, and they all work fine. So this means one of two things:
a) Pescado's hack corrects the issue of Woohoo affectiong orientation, and I have no problems.
b) Pescado's hack does not correct the issue, and I have no technical problems, just that crappy Maxian logic fails yet again. :P
I haven't noticed this however, since my simself is definately very gay orientated, but that is most likely because of all the gay flirts, hugs, and kiss interactions that have built up over time rather than the Woohoos. Which to me seems ludicrious because I would think that, if anything, Woohoo might have a more powerful impact or influence on sexual orientation. ::) I mean, it does make sense that, who you have sex with would most likely affect who you enjoy or prefer to have sex with.
I guess... on the one hand, if you think about it, maybe you can interpret as Maxian philosophy or political views in that they don't regard the actual act of Sex as something that is relevant to orientation. In a way, it almost seems to say that who you have sex with shouldn't matter or necessarily affect who you are as a person. That almost seems noble. On the other hand... it could also be seen as a total disregard of the emotions involved with sex, which seems more likely considering their take on Romance, where such Aspirations lead to wanting 20 plus lovers rather than a lovingly, fulfilling, monogamous committed relationship. A truly romantic sim, at least in my eyes, would be just as interested in say having a long lasting relationship that reaches its "Golden Years" as much as a Family sim would. And being a Family sim, to me, doesn't necessarily equate to Romance. You could just love having kids and raising a family, and not necessarily be romantic towards your spouse/mate. And you can be very romantic without necessarily wanting to have kids or a family.
So, in a way, it could just fall along the lines of Maxiam Romance translating into slutty slutty whoriness. Again, it doesn't matter who you sleep with, the gender of your partner shouldn't affect your orientation because then that would only result in limiting your partners, which according to Maxian logic would be detrimental to the desires of a Romance sim.
Plus, we all know that Maxian logic don't make no sense anyways, so says Pescado. :D

ZephyrZodiac:
I think they definitely overdid the sluttishness of Romance sims (and for that matter, Family sims, who are forever to be seen walking past Romance Sims houses, coming home with them from work, and generally trying to break up both their own relationship and the Romance sim''s relationship!) I think I've said this before, but an LTW for Romance Sims such as Stay Faithful till Death do us part! would be a good one for them to aim for!
veilchen:
I find myself agreeing with you in every thread today ZZ :D
Maxis' idea of romance is most certainly not my idea of romance, since sex is a romantic fringe benefit ;) but not the romance at its core. Their fambly sims are a joke as well, since romance and knowledge sims make the best parents.
Makes me wonder what is going to be the new ep's take on romance, friendship, family etc. Although I will not buy it before JM has had a look at it, I will nevertheless eagerly read everybody else's reports.
Oh, by the way...Reg, I would like to pre-order screen-shots of your New Orleans vampire district in NL :D
Ancient Sim:
After having done some testing, it would appear Make-Out doesn't affect orientation, either. So, the more sexual the content, the less it affects sexual orientation. Now that makes a LOT of sense! I think I am going to adjust all this in SimPE, at least in terms of the ones who've not had the casual sex via TwoJeffs' mod. Yet again, I am mystified by Maxian logic ...
