Re: Romantic Boundaries not violated, Sim still 'cheated' on by partner

I got the latest pack and have all the sims in my house set to looking for both m,f, exploring and will woohoo with f, m. All their boundaries are set to no. Free love is on.

So why am i still having relationship decreases when a sim with multiple romantic interests flirts with more than one sim in a convo? Ive tried this on and out of a group, on a 3 person romantic date. There should be no jealousy but i still get the negative relationship effects.

@aca1b89053ebc6ad Are they actually getting angry, or is it just that the conversation's not going well? Considering how quick Sims are to flirt with everyone they meet and how quickly you can progress in this game from introduction to woohoo, Sims are surprisingly prudish about flirty conversations. I've noticed they almost always get embarrased/uncomfortable/awkward conversation when you flirt with them in a group conversation.

In other words, your Sims relationships may not be dropping because of witnessing the other two flirting, but rather because of being flirted with themselves in front of a witness.

If they're actually getting upset about "cheating" - are you using the loyal trait on any of them? That has its own effects that will make them feel guilty even if their partner has jealousy turned off.
