I didn't make it obviously but, Gender preference basically means which gender sims are attracted to. For instance, if you wanted to make a male sim gay you could set his gender preference for males to 100 and to females at 0 or some other low number.

Some people have noticed and complained that sims they have had be in a gay relationship would still do romantic interactions with the opposite gender when they weren't controlling them. This should stop that.

I'm very excited for this. I'm creating custom houses and custom families for all of the lots in my legacy world and I play each one just long enough to use cheats to set their careers/skills and possibly have them try for baby. Then I just let them live their lives while I'm playing my legacy. Now I have one more thing I can customize for those families to mix it up! Thanks!

Wait, so in TS4 the gender preferences are static numbers and your Sim's preference doesn't change whatever he/she does? :S

Wow. This is perfect!

My gay sims will no longer flirt with girls.

I can't thank you enough! I hope it solves some gender/flirting confusion that happens all the time in my game. (G.ay male sims flirting with girls every time I am not playing them) if they are going to flirt okay whatever I just want it to make sense and to stay with the gender preference that I have set for them.

Thanks for this! It was always kind of weird/unrealistic to me how every single Sim in my game was bisexual.

No, it changes over time, this just sets the current romantic preferences. For every romance action, the gender preference goes up by 10 and down by 5. So if a male and female do a romance action, the guy's gender preference for females goes up by 10, and down for other guys, whereas if two females perform an action, their preferences for females go up by 10, and down by 5 for males. I don't think the level of change varies depending on what action is performed. It's all pretty simplistic, I know! Those amounts may be tunable in XML, I haven't looked - but I was thinking the increase speed was good, but the decrease speed should go by smaller amounts. Not sure how well that would work out in the long run though.

Oh ok, so it uses almost the same system than the previous games, thanks for the info! :)

If you need clarification on something just let me know what's confusing and I'll try to help. I know I'm terrible at writing directions!

Glad you appreciate that, wasn't sure anyone would find it useful but it helped me out a lot in testing and so I figured what the heck, keep it in.

You rock, scumbumbo! It's just this sort of generosity that makes MTS my favorite place to hang out.
Clearly, this mod will make Sims 4 so much more fun for those who play it.

It is making my game run slower and I have noticed that in the upper left hand corner of my screen where it previously said Sims 4 is now in a foreign language.
Still early in my testing will check back later.
Thanks again for this mod.

Edit: Okay, from what I can tell this mod is not doing what I expected. I set a sims gender preference to 50/50. I turned on the testing cheat, and then entered genderpref.set 50 50 John Smith. I had him chat with both genders and then do one flirt with another male. I checked his pref and it changed to 60 for males and 40 for females. If his gender preference was indeed set to 50 and 50 it should not have changed to 60 and 40.

So, it seems that this mod doesn't really "set" a sims preference, it just tells you what it is at any given moment.
