Ran into two issues that might be a bug or user error.
1) Dating occasionally stops being an option, even for characters with dating unlocked. Sometimes it works again after a few days, sometimes not. By not being an option, I mean that selecting a character does not highlight the date button. My character is at home and so are the others, and it happens even if both are resting. Sex works just fine, though.
2) The only option available when a baby is born is to send it to the orphanage. I have plenty of room at the mansion, so it's not a capacity thing. The only option in the text box is to ship the kid off. I do appreciate being able to see the kid's info before making the choice, which I don't remember being in the game last time I played it.
