I definitely agree on the loyalty aspect. And Shower Woohoo. While I like that some of my sims can be players, I also think it was an oversight not to consider the people who are in happy relationships. I hate having to pretend that couples of mine who are dedicates soulmates of one another have technically been cheating on one another when I'm not playing them. I avoid the Romance festival at all costs, because that's just a nightmare.
They'd cheat if you don't play them, like rotating households you mean? And yeah I think it was really REALLY stupid they didn't have a loyalty thing put into the game. When my Sim can be dusting off an artifact and some random person comes by and he says something flirty to her when he wasn't even flirty (didn't think focused resulted in that) it makes no sense. It's truly lame and annoying. I hate penning up my boys and not letting them out to some places because of stuff like this, but stuff like this is exactly why they do things away from crowds if at all possible. The Romance Festival, however, was odd for me. I sent one there on his own and he was literally sad and moping around there without his husband. Soon as hubby got off work I sent him to the festival and they found each other, smooched, and sat at a bench chatting away until the festival was over. It's funny, the places you'd expect flirting doesn't do anything, but places that shouldn't DO.....I still think that doing that soul mate aspiration should have did something way more than what it did....loyalty, dedication SOMETHING to prove why you're soulmates.
Yes. I play rotationally, and for a while, before they fixed relationship culling, nearly all my sims were cheating on each other. I've just had to use cheats to set those relationships back to zero, and pretend they never happened in the first place. But it angers me every time I look in their friendship panel, and I see where there used to be romantic relationships with people that never would have existed in the first place if my households hadn't been affected by that nightmare.
