== Premade (possibly) homosexual Sims ==

 

 

*Using [[boolprop testingcheatsenabled]] or [[SimPE]] in ''The Sims 2 ''allows players to view their Sims' degree of attraction to both genders, which determines how likely they are to accept or reject a romantic advance from a Sim of that gender. Players have commented that several Sims show a preference for their own gender, often despite being involved in a heterosexual romantic storyline. The most commonly cited example is that of [[Kent Capp]], who has a slight preference for males at the beginning of the game, despite an implied budding romance with [[Bianca Monty]]. Interestingly, many of the male Sims in [[Veronaville]] seem to have a slight gender preference for males when the game starts, even though most are married to women or have girlfriends. This is possibly a deliberate in-joke or Easter Egg on the part of the designers, referencing the ongoing critical debate over [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexuality_of_William_Shakespeare William Shakespeare's sexuality].

*At least one player has loaded the premade female character [[Constance Shelley]] in [[Riverview]] and found her to have a romantic attachment to another premade female Sim. This may be deliberate on the part of the game's creators, or may be a result of the Story Progression feature in ''The Sims 3'', which allows Sims to (amongst other things) form romantic relationships without the input of the player. [This in itself may suggest that, unlike in the original game, Sims in ''The Sims 3 ''will default to bisexual rather than heterosexual behaviour if they are allowed to act autonomously.]
