Suggestion for Handling Teen Sex Interactions

[SadPianist]

I understand Turbo's reasoning behind disabling all teen sex interactions in the latest update, but I think there's a more elegant and better solution.

 

Many teens have sex. It's just a fact of life. In fact, The Sims 4's High School Years expansion has increased the number of teen woohoo interactions in the base game, not removed or decreased them. Underage sex can not and should not be depicted, which seems to be the main reason for Turbo's change in WickedWhims.

 

Taken from Odd_interest's post on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/odd_interests/), now that there is a "post-pubescent" trait in WickedWhims, that could be a way of differentiating underage and non-underage teen sims. Having sexual interactions available only with teen sims with the "post pubescent" trait would allow more more realistic amounts of teen sex, while keeping the default to be almost no sexual interactions among teens. The trait allowing sexual interactions could also be disabled by default, requiring those who want to play with this added realism to enable it.

 

On a personal note, I don't think Turbo's change makes much sense. It's the exact opposite stance that the Sims 4 seems to be taking, and removes a very integral part of puberty and discovering one's sexual identity in the teen years. I'm glad that the option for additional mods to re-add the feature exists, but it seems like a weird and unnecessary omission from WickedWhims itself.

What you are asking is what does this unlock

 

nothing need to be done other than installing this.

Very unfortunate update, to be honest. Even in the lame Sims vanilla they don't run away from this subject.
