The Sims 4's new patch fixes the incest

As well as some other bugs

As Rebecca explained, The Sims 4 has had an on-again, off-again “incest glitch” for a long time, and the recent High School Years expansion was just its latest appearance. This update has reportedly now fixed the problem. It’s also fixed a couple of other substantial glitches, including Sims aging or de-aging when leaving Create A Sim and, erk, adult sims tagging teens in “flirtatious Social Bunny posts.”

Here’s the full list ofpatch notes:

Get Famous

High School Years

I wonder if that Get Famous fix extends to one of the morewholesome recent glitches, in which family pets could be recognised by the game as up-and-coming Hollywood stars. Although maybe that’s not a bug and you can pretend like your pet is the dog from Frasier.

It’s inevitable that if you’re making a social simulation, your bugs are going to generate some awkward scenarios. If you’d like to generate some awkward scenarios on purpose, check out some of our Sims 4 guides, such as toThe Sims 4 wants and fearssystem.
