Soulmates Not Actually Soulmating

Question

Howdy!Something that I've noticed recently in the Sims 4 is that my two Sims who have achieved "soulmate" status with each other aren't actually acting as soulmates. What I mean by this is that the sims who are soulmates will still have the "Flirt" feature pop up (the suggested ones that are outside of the "Friendly", "Romance", etc. categories) when talking to other sims or, if left to their own devices, will flirt with a different sim that is not their soulmate.I feel as though (as a monogamous person) if you've achieved a soulmate status yourself, that it wouldn't even dawn on you to flirt or hit on another person, and I think that this should be replicated in the Sims. I don't recall this happening in the Sims years back, even with the same two sims and they've got maxed-out friendship and romance.This is just a suggestion, something that's been bothering me in the Sims, and I hope that I'm not the only person who feels this way!&nbsp;Thank you for your time!

Unfortunately Sims' moodlets aren't targeted - so a Sim who's flirty from being with their soulmate will then flirt with every other adult sim they come across until they're no longer flirty. A sim who's angry from insults by one sim will go on to insult everyone they meet. And so on... I do wish the game was a bit smarter about targeted emotions.

I don't mind that so much, I think even 'soulmates' might cheat, lol, adds drama. Or maybe your soulmate is not good for you and you choose not to be with them. My issue is that sims can have multiple soul mates, which kinda defeats the purpose of soul mates (it should be more like fated mates imo), and the fact that you can have a 'soul mate' and when you ask about their relationship or attraction level they're like, yeah, whatever, you're okay (paraphrasing but very underwhelming responses).

I feel like they really dropped the ball w/relationships in general. IDK what I'd do without modders.
