As well as some other bugs

In a trailer still for The Sims 4 StrangerVille, a Sim reacts with shock to something she has witnessed off-screen.

The Sims 4received patch 1.90.375.1020 today, which has a short set of patch notes. One of the included bug fixes is that “The ‘Ask to be Girlfriend/Boyfriend’ Want now targets appropriate Sims”, which sounds innocuous enough.

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.”
