Lovestruck sims spawning on all lots?
Ever since I bought lovestruck I noticed that the game are spawning sims that are couples with the age adult on every lot that I am visiting. This makes sense to me when visiting a park because they ...

Recently I went to Willow Creek Park, and after a while, I noticed that several different Sim couples were sitting on benches together, cuddling each other.
I understand the purpose of the Lovestruck expansion, but this is a bit much. In this image there are 4 couples together. There was another fifth couple near the fountain, but the image didn't capture them. The game has a limit of 20 Sims per lot, and half of them were dating, which in this case is sitting on benches carrying out the same interaction of hugs and caresses. I don't want to just watch a bunch of Sims date! I also want to see them do other things in the parks besides this.
Another thing that is getting annoying is the excessive calls from Sims wanting to have dates with me, especially unknown Sims! I receive more than 6 calls a day! I don't want to turn off the feature, I like the calls, but I think they need to reduce the frequency!
Does this happen in every park? What happens if you go to the oasis springs park? Theres a lot of activities there that sims could do such as reading books fishing, chess, jungle jim, barbeque. How many are doing the dating thing? If its a lot then I guess it would be a problem.
@JnhoKaddiaIt depends on the park layout. I'm finding that if there are loads of seats like logs and benches they will attract couples pointing at the sky. So far I haven't seen any using the ground to lie and cloudgaze and they haven't used the ground blankets. They don't use the single seats in dining spots around the outdoor tables. But if you have double seats with room for 2 there will be lovebirds. I agree with the other comments that it's quite sweet but I think I'll be bearing it in mind when designing parks to add more single seating.
It could be worse... I've had a problem before Lovestruck with Sims getting busy together in the Eco Living dumpsters! So far they have done that lol. I'd prefer them gazing at the stars to that when there are kids on the lot! (I can't look Nancy and Geoffrey in the eye now either!)@SimsTime that sounds like too many. I'd try them switched off and see what happens. My Sim is friends with nearly every Sim in town and actively dating and doesn't get them often. Yours sounds excessive are you using any mods by any chance?
You could also note the times and content of the calls and report back here to compare.
Here is a larger image of the one I posted:
This is what parks and other lots in the game looks like now, notice how there is no one sitting playing chess, no kids playing, the only sim that has spawned so far that is doing anything at the park is one sim standing next to my sim sitting at the chess table, the other 8 sims at the park are all adult couples sitting at the park benches.
This happens on all lots now, less sims working out at the gyms, less sims visiting the library, less sims showing up overall because the game keeps spawning these adult couples. And as stated, these sims do not interact with the lot or change into proper clothing. If it's something like a gym they will just stand around.
So in a game, limited by 20 sims per lot, the lovestruck pack now takes 8 sims from those limited slots to spawn the same adult couples on every lot. Why would I want to visit these lots and interact with adult couples during their dates? I want to meet new sims who like to visit these lots because of their personalities and their ages.
