When my sims go on a date I always do the same thing; watch a movie and then go to a restaurant. Do you have any suggestions of other things to do on dates since doing the same things over and over again gets very boring?

Go to a sports bar perhaps or a lounge and have some drinks, or spend the night singing karaoke....I dunno there's a lot that you can do in TS3. If you have Roaring Heights you can take sims to the roller coaster on a date, there are also cafes you can go to....etc

Choosing where to go is a learned skill. When we were little, our dad always showed us a good time. He would take us to places like just outside of restaurants, tell us to look in the window, and say, "See, kids? Those people inside are all having a good time!" Then we would all go home. :/ Okay but seriously, I was curious a while back what other players did with their sims on dates. Hence this poll/thread from a couple of years ago.https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/933559/its-date-night-where-do-we-go-first/p1

It depends on the Sims who are dating. I like for my Sims to do activities and so I'll have my Sim who is dating one who likes music (for example) to tour the Music Hall or some other venue. Or, I'll send them to the library if one has the bookworm trait. Sometimes, I'll pack a ball in my Sim inventory and send them out for a date at the park. The park is fun because there are always other Sims for both to interact with and it never get boring. There's also usually a chess table for them to engage in a game of chess. Then, I may conclude the date by having a candle light picnic in the park or roasting food over the fire pit. If my Sim really likes the other, sometimes I'll have them prepare a group serving of that Sims favorite meal and find a good picnic table and 'call them to meal'. I also (using the 'go here with date' option) always have my Sims drive their dates home (by clicking the sidewalk outside of their house) before ending the date.

This thread reminds me of things my sims never do, like go to a movie or a restaurant. I thought these places are there to buy and earn money from other people who go there :smiley: So yeah, my sims are mostly outside and talk or play something. That may also be the tables in front of the restaurant, the parking lot of the gym or the space in front of the stadium. The latter place gets bonus points for offering free tours with some additional free public fun. You can even play soccer in the library.Which reminds me I should probably sell all those flowers my sims never use. My hopes of opening a flower store haven't materialized so far.

Most of what I send my sims to do on dates is expansion content. If you have University Life, the bowling alley makes a good place for dates. I made a copy of the one from the university town and placed in in the bin with a few edits (like a professional bar). That’s definitely my favorite place to send my sims.Otherwise, you could do a picnic on the beach. If you have Island Paradise send them for a romantic boat ride, or let them go jet skiing. If you have Seasons installed the festival lots are nice for dates too. Skating, snowball fights, etc.

I like to send my sims out to a fun park sometimes. There are a lot of builds in this thread if you are looking for somewhere to take sims. They are great for dates and for places to visit during the day with family.

I started the thread when the Roaring Heights world was released and it had the roller coaster lot as extra content. People are still posting new builds in the thread.

Actually, my sims could end up anywhere for a date. I recently sent a couple to China for a date - they didn't do any adventuring, just had some quiet time together.
