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. Polygon has reached out to Electronic Arts for more information and will update this story when the company responds.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. We’re of course working on the aging bug too.” “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,” SimGuruNick wrote. Meeting a Sim’s wants earns points that can be used to buy things, as does overcoming fears. There are also “fears” - things like death, failure, and cowplants. Wants are typically based off a Sim’s personality and traits, and include stuff like calling a friend, dating a specific sim, or being abducted by aliens. Players reported that their Sims were getting “wants” - a replacement for “whims” added in a recent update - to date their family members. The Sims 4 players across social media and Reddit are reporting that their Sims are aging up way too fast - and old Sims are just outright dying.Ī quality designer for The Sims 4 who goes by SimGuruNick on Twitter mentioned the incest bug, noting that the developer is working on a fix. ( The Sims 4 has three lifespan options: short, normal, and long.) Sims can still die in accidents regardless of their chosen option, but this lets players choose how long their natural life is. Players logging into The Sims 4 will also receive a pop-up warning on the bug, encouraging players not to play Sims that have been marked with short or long lifespans. “We recommend temporarily playing in or creating new saves with the default/’normal’ lifespan, as we work towards a solution.” Image: Maxis/Electronic Arts via Polygon “We are currently investigating instances involving Sims auto-aging up in saves using the Short or Long lifespan,” EA said via The Sims account. The Sims 4’s new High School Years expansion launched Thursday, but the base game update from earlier in the week had some unintentional side effects: It’s making some Sims age up way too fast, while other Sims are becoming attracted to family members.Ī representative for The Sims 4 acknowledged the auto-aging Sims bugs in a tweet on the official Sims Twitter account.
