Any way to make all the sims Bi again?
Like, I get it about it being "realistic" and all but before I hated having to deal with the AI, now I hate that when I try to deal with the AI I have 50% chance that I did that for no reason.

Isn't there some mod "Everyone is BI" that would make it like it used to be?

If not I guess I will deepen myself in opinion that partners are overrated and it's better to just adopt children.

I don't have this problem, in my game they are all bi because no one has yet discovered their sexuality. Rare are those able to say I am straight or I am gay

Maybe I just had bad luck with the first try, but it made me really annoyed anyway. Especially because I didn't knew that existed.

you could always enable cheats and check your sims in cas.fulleditmode to check their sexual orientation and if they are exploring romantically.

I have trouble with that myself.

That's what I do.
But they can also be all of these other things, like "GreyRomantic" and stuff.

Yep almost all sims will be “exploring sexuality” and “exploring romantically” by default so this shouldn’t be a problem. You may encounter some sims that are strictly straight or gay, but not many.

I have found many options, perhaps with one of my many mods, that can some sims never want romance or sex with anyone and other sims want it with everyone.

Mods can cause issues. That's an unfortunate fact with all games that have mods.
Looks like you found it but for anyone else curious about this you can set each Sims romance preferences in CAS (Create a Sim) when you select, create, or edit them. Click on the plumb bob in the upper and it's in the right tab of the options that appear.

As shared in this topic previously setting those settings helps but it doesn't guarantee each Sim is going to be attracted to the Sim you want them to be. Sims being attracted to each other romantically is a random chance algorithm just like it is in real life regardless of settings. It seems that way anyway.
I've made Sims purposely to match them up with a specific Sim and it didn't work out. I made a female to marry up to a specific male. She ended up being in a relationship with another female.

Ok, so, I'm kinda late and I doubt anyone had the same issue, but I'm fairly certain this happened because the world and the sims were already created, so the game set everyones sexuality to asex with no exploration. This only happens on the existing saves from before the update as far as I'm concerned.

Sexual Orientation can be fixed easily, but most sims are not supposed to be asexual by default. If this is on one of your older saves I could understand why this could be a potential problem and would be annoying having to change sexual orientation for as many sims as possible as well. I honestly do not have problems with straight and to some extent bisexual sims (which was normal even from The SIms 3) on The Sims 4, but most sims are not supposed to be asexual (in other words not exploring romantically and zero romantic interest). Very few random townies and other sims are by default gay or lesbian as well where they prefer same gender and have exploring romantically turned off (although, if you have exploring romantically turned on they are bisexual sims, but preferably gay or lesbian). So again that does not seem to be a major issue on The Sims 4, but not every sim should be asexual on The SIms 4.

I thought they'd fixed this. No? I'd experienced it a while back and had to go through each and every one of my (100+) sims in CAS to sort them out as intended (a hassle but, oh well). I'd used MCCC settings to recognise their orientations then and had no issues after that. Although after this update, I'm not sure what to expect.
