Townie Sexual Orientation: Fix & Diversity
Tested for patch 1.90
There's a lot that is still not working with the new sexual orientation feature. This mod tries to fix one aspect: the sexual orientation of random townies.
Mod Functionality
There are two versions of the mod. Please use ONLY ONE file!
TownieSexualOrientationFix
There currently is a bug regarding the sexual orientation of random townies. They have a very high chance of being aromantic and asexual, which makes it extremely difficult to find partners for your Sims.
This version of the mod fixes this issue and lets new random townies be generated as pansexual.
Please note that the bug only effects new random townies. Townies that have been created before the HSY patch should be fine anyway. Please also note that the game changes the orientation for Sims that are part of a couple, so these might be straight instead of pansexual.
TownieSexualOrientionDiversity
Although EA broadly stated that LGBTQIA+ identities can not be toggled on and off they did exactly that. But they did not add a toggle in the settings, they sneakily hid it in the code. If you play same-sex relationships you secretly unlock new settings for townie sexual orientation. You can read more about that in my research post on the bug forum.
This version of the mod enables the diverse settings of townie sexual orientation regardless of what kind of relationships you play or don't play. So you will get townies with diverse sexualities (67% hetero, 17% homosexual, 8% bi, 8% neither). These are not my numbers. I kept EA's numbers and my mod only activates these settings no matter how you play your game.
I was really hoping for a patch that addresses these issues, but since we still did not get one I decided to publish this mod. If you have questions about it please ask. You can also head over to the bug forum and click "me too" on the bug so that it gets more attention.

This is a great alternative for those who do not have the Command Center or who just need to use cheats with one click. By the way, the mod complements the KC itself quite well.

I’ve added to my Motive Overhaul to make it stand alone and do more! Now, in addition to motive changes, the main version supports infant, toddler, and child PlantSims without relying on any other mods.
