No, the headline is not clickbait… there is now incest in The Sims 4. The Sims franchise is a really wonderful, freeing series, but there have always been caveats. Although this is a game where you can have sex, have a job, raise a family, and live out some wild fantasies, EA is aware there are social stigmas that it needs to steer clear from for the sake of ethics. EA has still made great efforts to try and make its game as expansive as possible with years of content updates, including one recent one that allows players to become werewolves. It’s all fun and games, usually! That is until a recent update created an absurd bug.

I just wanted to acknowledge that the Want to date a family member is something we know about, we’ve reproduced ourselves, we’re working on it. We’re looking to get it fixed ASAP, thanks for all the bug reports, we appreciate it. We’re of course working on the aging bug too.
