Previously sims just banged whoever, they put in an update to give your sims a sexual preference and whether they're looking to gently caress marry or kill

Their doing this is even weirder as in The Sims 1, 2, and 3, (haven't played 4) all romantic relationships are dictated by you and you alone. The computer-controlled sims would never initiate a romance, they just would respond when you started romancing them; and they would always be into it. What they are doing now is making a feature that prevents you from taking your male character and initiating a romance with another male character, which, again, in the previous games, would never have happened unless you wanted it to.

Who are you to glizzy gobble El Vago's marshmussy?

So did they change it to where players can initiate incest, or is the AI now able to initiate relationships, including incest? Never played The Sims, myself (if I wanted the ability to ruin a life, ah *gestures broadly*)

in a previous update a while ago they added options to make your sims genderfluid. stuff like, does this sim pee standing or not? can this sim impregnate others, or get pregnant? does this sim prefer female or male gendered clothing, or both? just disconnecting all of these variables from the femme or masc body type, so that a masc body sim doesn't necessarily pee standing up or impregnate others

in conformance with this option they added sexual preference options as well, which ironically is the first time you can canonically make sims homosexual or heterosexual as previously sims are vaguely pansexual until you tune them to be gay by continually flirting with same-sex sims. even as far back as the original sims in 2000, sims just kinda gently caress whoever

its a bug, whatever they did to change preferences got around the "no banging genetic relations" rules to prevent creepy incest

pretty mild bug compared to some all time greats, like dwarf fortresses' "carp spend all day leveling up swimming so they are all level 100 murder machines who one shot anything that comes near the river" or crusader kings 2 "whoops! we made the AI engine spend most of its time obsessed with blinding and castrating in-game characters!"

The MSN story is longer, but the Seattle Times story is slightly more coherent.

quote:

A woman accused of burglarizing an apartment in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood was shot and injured after releasing three pit bulls that attacked the building manager and other residents, police said.

Seattle police said they plan to request charging the 37-year-old woman with residential burglary and the 50-year-old apartment manager for reckless endangerment after Friday’s incident.

The manager for Ten Twenty Apartments, a 45-unit building on University Street, said Sunday that he accidentally shot the woman in the collarbone while trying to scare the attacking dogs after a series of escalating events. The Seattle Times does not name people who have not been charged; the manager is not being named because it is unclear whether he has been charged.

He said the problems started when he received a text from a tenant complaining of a woman banging on residents’ doors. He said he approached the woman, who he said was staying in her boyfriend’s apartment while he was away.

Fifteen minutes later, another resident called to say she was attacked by three pit bulls after getting off the elevator. Video footage showed the woman who had been pounding on doors entering the unit next to her boyfriend’s and releasing the dogs whose owner had left his apartment’s front door unlocked while he was away, the manager said.

The manager said he called police, who responded about 10:30 p.m. but left after finding the dogs had been returned to their owner’s apartment. Within minutes, officers returned after hearing reports that a woman had been shot.

In the time that the officers were gone, the dogs escaped, and “the next thing I know, I’m sitting there fighting two pit bulls and I got a gash in my hand. I got this bite down my ribs. I got a bite puncture in my leg,” the manager said.

He said he was able to trap the dogs between the building’s two sets of front doors, but released them to the woman who had initially let the dogs out.

“I’m like, ‘OK, if this dog bites me again, that’s on you,’” the building manager said. “So I let the door go. And of course the dog comes after me again.”

He said the woman took the dogs outside, and as he returned to his apartment to call 911, he heard a scream, grabbed his gun, and ran outside to find a couple holding their dog over their heads while the pit bulls jumped on them.

The manager said he fired three shots, one shot in the air to scare the dogs, and two more when they didn’t stop. One of the bullets struck the woman, so he again called 911, he said.

Police said medics transported the woman to Harborview Medical Center with a gunshot near her collarbone. She told officers there that she had entered the apartment to let the dogs out and had stolen several items, police said.

Police did not take the dogs, and they have been returned to their owner’s apartment, according to the building manager who said he would file a report with animal control on Monday and tell the owner to either get rid of the dogs or be evicted. By Saturday afternoon, the woman who let them out was back in the building and banging on residents’ doors again, the building manager said.
