It's Date Night! Where do we go first?

I chose "Someplace else" because when a Sim Guy calls my SS up for a date (and I accept it), my SS goes to wherever the Sim tells her where to meet him at.

I had placed @CravenLestat simself into my game to see what he gets into during my game play. So I had my SS introduce herself to him when she was outside of the bookstore in Riverview reading and he sat down next to her on the bench. So a few days later, Craven calls my SS up to ask her for a date and she accepted. so she goes to the meeting spot for the date to discover that he asked her to meet him at the junkyard... :p Who asks someone on a date to the junkyard?... :p

Then my SS romantic interest that she now has in the game called up up for a date. It was at the fish hatchery hole in Riverview... :)

Sorry for the picture spam which is why I'd placed them in spoilers for... :smiley:

I tend not to let my sims date because by the time the teens are old enough to date there are way too many sims in the household for me to be giving special treatment to one. When I do feel particularly generous I might allow my favourite teen to have a date (God knows they roll enough wishes for them) and I will send him to the bowling alley, leave them most of the day and then send them to dinner in the evening. That way I know they will amuse themselves while I keep an eye on the rest of the household and, come dinner time, I can tend to my family's needs without having to check on them.

I don't have many EPs installed (although I own them all) so date options are limited. Movies are useless (unless I really can't be bothered with them and just want them out of the way) because they invariably come out with decayed motives if they go with someone else. I would have thought one's social needs would be met when watching a movie with another but my game seems to think otherwise :# Overall, I would prefer to skip dates altogether and just invite romantic interests over. Sims have way more fun when there is no pressure to "have a great date" and the potential for the game to throw a curve ball just as they are getting frisky is not for me.

Most of the dates my sims have gone on recently have occurred while at university. I always send them to the B's Bowlarama because it has plenty of fun things for sims to do together, food (I put in a LN bar upstairs), room outside to watch the stars, and a photobooth for the romantic interactions to end up in. I tend not to have dates occur on one more than one lot, so where they start the day is where they end the date.

I'm terrible at dates :( I always forget to have them go for something to eat.

When my sims have dates, which isn't often ( in the "official" game sense) it is normally at a Festival, or a lovely park for a bbq... usually with lots of activities to do. It's rare for them to spend their leisure time inside.

FOOD! Always...food. :D then a nice romantic stroll along the beach... (if the Sims are in Sunset Valley or along the riverfront in Riverview or...)

The festival or the beach are my most common date spots. Or some quiet little park that the townies dont go to much. Anywhere you can set up a picnic basket really.

Mine will usually start outdoors at a park or festival type lot, or a beach for a swim or sailing.

I never tell my sims to call another sim for a date, and any invites they receive are rejected, usually because I have other plans for them. If I want to see someone, they get invited over, and it only becomes a date if it starts out as a group outing (automatically) and then my sim does something romantic. As it turns out, all you need to "have a great date" is a woohoo and enough time together (4 hours, I think).

If I did send them out, though, the only goal would be to woohoo in all the public places that allow it, and maybe some that don't. Cops can just be reset, after all.

It depends on the sim and what they need to do/want to do.
