Why only hetero????
Why does the game only have hetero relationships? Yes, the game gives you the opportunity to create an asexual character or create a non-binary character or create a gay/bi, etc. This is very nice, thank you for adding this feature to the character creator. But this feature exists ONLY in the creator, in the game itself, all NPCs and non-player families are hetero characters. That is, if I create a gay character, there is not a single male NPC who would also like men. The situation with non-binary characters is EVEN worse, non-binary characters do NOT attract ANYONE romantically. Why? And most importantly, why did you do this? For a game in which a significant part is based on characters and their relationships, this is a very sad situation.

Maybe someone knows codes or loopholes on how to fix this? My first thought was to just walk around the city and edit families in the creator, but the game does not allow editing existing families. My second idea was to populate the city with more diverse characters myself, but it's quite long and I'm afraid that I'll overload the save with characters, which will make the game sag even more. Plus, none of this will fix the problem that random NPCs in the city are still only hetero characters, and I meet random NPCs in the city more often than real families.

I'm also now wondering how the gender/orientation of a character not created in the creator, but born during the game, is determined. Will they all also be hetero by default? Is there no chance to recognize yourself as a non-b person or as a gay?

Yeah, they need to fix this. I thought things were going fine, allegedly my female Zoi was building romance with another female Zoi and as soon as I made a serious move, she litterally ran away...I was like 'huh'. Then it happened again. Like, it's not that hard. Make the Zoi neutral by default and defined by character interactions. I have started popping my own queer NPCs in from the manage family thing. Which is not intuitive and requires a ton of work around. Its dampened my excitement for the game. And I was really enjoying it.

The wild thing is when Youtuber MadMorph played an early early build of the game several months back, he played a woman dating another woman. So how did the programing change so drasitically leading up to release?

Make your own character who is gay or bi and move them into another house in the city, then have your Zoi meet them!

I seriously don't understand those people who don't like the addition of diversity and inclusion. There's nothing wrong with inclusion as long as it's well implemented and written, which in this case wouldn't be because this is supposed to be a life simulator and you can create any character you want, however you want.

In the end, those people became what they dislike so much: a bunch of extremists, unbearable and annoying people who cry when they're ignored.

The good thing is that it's already been said that this relationship problem is already on the list to be solved, and all those who don't like it are going to cry like never before.

I apologize for my terrible English; I don't have a very good command of it and I had to use Google Translate.
Really happy to see the woke people being mad about it, well we are people just like you, no need to be so hateful, its a life simulation game with free will, we all wan't to play as our selfs its not like we are playing your save file or smth. and for the record since when did straight men started playing something like sims and inzoi didn't they call it game for girls? right... just play what you like and let others play what they like after all we are people! your straight? good for you but don't force your opinion/imagination to others thank you! :steamthumbsup:

How does it feel to post something that has nothing to do with what I wrote? I was simply stating a fact.
Oh it does... Your mindest is why so many people, also gay and bi, voted against Harris... But it is against the narrative of your echochqmber so you rather sound like a lunatic than admit your problem...

I'm not ignorant. I know they were.

Are you suggesting that dealing with hurtful comments on the internet is the equivalent of that?

No... I just think that the normalization of such hateful speech towards LGBT people cannot go anywhere good.

Yes, 12% is so many[www.nbcnews.com], especially compared to 86%, But you would rather stick in your echochamber and believe lies than admit your problem

Why thank you, I do play the Sims. I own Sims 1, 2, 3, and some of the packs for 4 and I quite enjoy playing them....alongside my new creation in progress, my big ol' Queer custom Inzoi Save file. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

lol, ignoring the media because it refuses to go along with your agenda is your gotcha? So where is your source?
Honestly at this point, going back and reading previous comments I see there's been an answer multiple times. It's coming. Not sure why I let myself get pulled into a sociopolitical argument.

Gay options incoming. I'm buying the game regardless. I am not gay. I will live. So will you. And if gay options never came, you'd still live. There's bigger problems in my life than whether or not a Korean game will let me kiss guys.

To actually answer your question, all the default ZOIs are heterosexual by default. If you want, you can change to the ZOI you want to your character to have a same-sex relationship with and change them to attracted to the same gender, or do what I did and create two gay zois, and have them meet and fall in love.

This is listed as a known problem under the "known issues" thread up at the top, so thankfully it seems they do plan on fixing it. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later

It's on their pinned known issues list to be fixed.

Apparently it's a know but. it will be fixed and things will get balanced

It has been identified as a bug, so yes equal chance for the heteros and gays to romance gays is an intended feature.

Good luck out there folks.
