A free The Sims 4 update was released on July 26. But ever since, characters in the game come up with goals such as dating family members, AFP reports.
According to the report, on July 26, The Sims 4 developer Maxis Studios released an update that offered new additions and features. The life simulator now offers to create houses with curved walls, to select new haircuts or to choose the sexual orientation of his avatar.
The Sims 4: Uncover questionable cravings
But as often in the middle of the video game, this update was entitled to its share of bugs and anomalies. Here, it is by modifying the system of desires and fears that the game published by Electronic Arts tripped over the carpet, AFP report added.
This feature allows game characters to express desires that turn into goals to advance in the game. Often, these cravings revolve around romantic relationships. But some players have had the unpleasant surprise of discovering questionable desires in certain avatars, who wish to have an adventure with members of their family.
Sims 4 fans quickly spotted the errors and shared them, especially on Reddit , initially spotted PC Gamer . In the publication, a woman is offered to ask a certain Vernon to become her boyfriend. Only problem, it’s his son. Since then, the specialized site Kotaku has also identified a male Sim wanting to date his twin sister.
Premature ageing
The developers have been alerted to the bug. They are already trying to solve the problem as soon as possible, as one of the members of the Maxis Studios quality team said on Twitter.
The update, which accompanies the release of the “High School Years” expansion, also causes another annoyance: premature aging of avatars . This glitch sees the game’s characters grow older despite not celebrating their birthdays, as the logical process of the game would have it. Again, the title teams are aware of the flaw and are looking to fix it.
