Sims.

I have an issue with my Sims. Most every Sim I wind up with, even if they're totally on Free Will and I'm just watching and laughing as they set the kitchen on fire, either turns into a total slut and has kids or gets married and has kids. It doesn't matter what their 'goal' is. Marriage. Children. Domestic .. domesticity.

I found the trick to preventing it yesterday. Lipstick. Heavy lipstick on the men. Even if it's black. He kept trying to go for 'first kiss' with all these women and no matter how much they found him alluring, they'd go "Eeeuugh!" and push him away. He'd be humiliated and awkward and I would laugh at his pain.

He gets emo and angry and goes back to his house to paint, write, or play guitar. Sometimes he sobs, alone in his house. There should be a 'cut yourself' option.

Perhaps I should turn cheats off. I honestly have no idea if plain out of the package Sims go as babycrazy as mine seem to.

It's at least something to do while flat on my back from migraine.

It happened both with Sims2 and Sims3. Keep in mind, I enable cheats before the game even starts, so that may have something to do with it.

I just gave up and started my own eugenics program.

I'm a cheater, too. My sims2 sims never want to get down- I usually chose knowledge and popularity goals (because I hate homemaker sims, keeping up with babies is hard work).

With the new one, they certainly do have a lot *more* free will, but I'm always focused on making them gain skills so that I can see how far I can take them in their careers.
