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 tend to sit at the park bench and do the new cloudgaze interaction.However they are spawning on all kinds of lots now like gyms which they have no business being on because they are doing nothing but just standing or hanging out in the building in everyday clothing, not doing any actions relevant to the lot. This is annoying because the game spawns these sims instead of normal sims that tends to visit these lots.I definitely think this should be changed, it's disruptive to normal gameplay. Should I create a bug report about this?

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.

After only reading about people's experiences, I tried myself today with my save file.I visited a park in Chestnut Ridge. I used mccc to allow 30 people on the lot (the default is 20). After a few minutes, the game spawns at least 3 couples. As I have the "Show Sims Info" mod, I can identify that their role is related to EP16 (Lovestruck).It would be cute and lovely if it's only 1-2 couples and has the more rare chance to appear such as 10-20% or 50% at most. It shouldn't be every time like the current situation, especially the place that shouldn't spawn such as temple ruins. This should be tuned!

It's funny, I use the National Park lot trait if I want a quiet date spot for my Sims because they rarely get many visitors. But today my Sims arrived at a deserted National Park, put their little blanket on the ground and placed their picnic basket down. They served their food, they gazed lovingly into each others eyes...and immediately they were surrounded by stargazing couples who trampled over their blanket and stole their food!The park literally filled up, it's very small with 3 log benches and a picnic table and all were full. They also kept interrupting my Sim's conversation which is nearly as rude as stealing sandwiches!

I'm doing some more testing just visiting some normal lots with no mods and this is REALLY bad. The NPC spawning have been completely changed.Previously you could find relevant sims visiting these lots, often iconic young adults that you remember always meeting at these lots. The game now instead spawns the same adult couples on every lot preventing these sims from spawning. Less people working out, no kids are spawning at the parks!The npc spawning system is completely destroyed!With lovestruck DLC enabled: Kids are gone, adult couples are standing in the middle of lots in wrong clothing doing nothing.This is how the same lots look with lovestruck DLC disabled:This is terrible! This needs to be changed.

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!

@SimsTime if you go into your Game Options there are some romantic invites that can be turned off now. I'm attaching an image for you.

Personally I love seeing all the couples out and about together - it’s realistic - but I wish they had more variety in activities.

I have noticed that too.They are flocking like seagulls even the Strangeville citizens have caved in for the star gazing cult 🤭 I even had sim couples dying in the jungle because they were flocking around the traps in the temple just to find "romantic corners to watch the stars".My brain melted that night i can tell you guys that much 😮 they died like flies and i haven't touched archaeology milestone ever since that happened because i found this to be one scary experience in all 🙂

I agree with your opinion.
When I first noticed that these couple Sims were spawning, I was delighted and thought it was a really cute feature.
However, as I continued playing, I began to feel it was annoying because I saw so many couples no matter which area I visited or when.
I wish couple Sims could be limited to spawning on certain lots or lot traits.
Even if they continue as is, I would like them to adjust the frequency and locations where they appear.
At the very least, it's a bit much to have so many couples appear in jungle temples and national parks, as in the screenshots below.
English is not my native language.I'm sorry if the writing is weird.

This is how the same lots look with lovestruck DLC disabled:
