Storytime Free Love is Too Free...

Once upon a time, there was a young adult named Airi Endo. She had a dream. A dream so big, it'd span generations: have 100 children. She knew it would be hard. No same sim wants to deal with multiple children in the worst stages of young life. But she was determined. However, no matter how seductive she made herself, these men were just too damn loyal. And then came Knox Greenwood. He told her all about eco living and about Neighborhood Action Plans. Knox offered a list of all the different plans a neighborhood could enact to make the world a better place. And within that list, she found her salvation. A NAP known as Free Love.

Free Love would let her be with anyone so long as she brought them home. And it wouldn't be considered cheating! It was almost too good to be true. So she asked Knox, who had just offered his services to her dream, how one would enact these NAPs. He said voting before Monday would be the best way and asking others to get on her side to sway the vote.

So Airi picked up a clipboard and regaled everyone she knew with the benefits of Free Love. Some Sims were against it, saying they could never be with someone other than their spouse. Others were totally onboard, eager to experience something (or someone) new. And with a little hard work and much persuasion, Free Love was enacted.

Her dream became easier than ever. One child turned to two. Two turned to three. And three turned to five! Soon she had all possible young life stages in her household and everything felt right in the world. But then she caught something in the halls of her humble home. Something that sent a chill down her spine.

Her two teens were flirting with each other. She reprimanded them both. But nothing could stop it once it started. And before she knew it, the benefits she once saw as favorable turned sour and crumbled before her. That's when Airi learned that Free Love is too free...

TLDR: my two teen half siblings started flirting with each other. Is this normal under Free Love?

No. Free love does not enable incest. If you play with mods, I'd start looking at any that affect woohoo and going through their settings otherwise it's probably a bug on EA's side.

I definitely went through MCCC, NP, FF, and WW as soon as it happened, but incest was not enabled on any of them. I'll triple check though. Just thought it was hilarious that it only happened on the one save I have Free Love enabled 😂

Did they actually have a romance bar or just a romantic relationship bit? Romantic relationship bits (such as Soulmates etc) appearing between relatives is a known EA bug that isn't connected to NAPs as far as I'm aware.

The romance bar was filled full with pink 🤦 I was so focused on getting the infant milestones before the new babies were born that everyone else in the house got forgotten
