Players with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' should note that autonomous flirting by an [[Mascot#
A few [[Circe Beaker|pre-made]] [[Titania Summerdream|Sims]] in ''The Sims 2'' have pre-set positive preferences for both genders. It is not normally possible for a Sim to develop a negative preference for both genders, though it can happen with Sims who have a pre-set negative preference for one gender.
