Automatic dates.

Is there anyway to stop my group outings turning into dates? Sometimes I just want my sims to hang out together without the date pressure.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
  • In my experience, group outings become dates as soon as anyone performs a romantic interaction.

    Since Sims with certain traits will flirt autonomously (even aside from the obvious romance-oriented traits. Charismatic and Inappropriate sims will flirt autonomously too) keeping the group outing strictly friendly can be easier said than done without micromanaging their conversations.
  • I often run into the issue where my sim just invites their interest over, it automatically turns into a date, and five seconds after their ""date"" stepped foot on the lot they turned around and went home. It gives my sim a debuff and drives me crazy.

    If you get the "Excellent Groupie" reward that will stop this.

    Yeah the group system is strange and taking some getting used to that's for sure.

    Interesting. I will definitely have to look into how that is obtained. Thanks for the tip.
