Too many "Lovestruck" couples everywhere!

I saw that you replied to my answer HQ post. Yes, I completely agree, I have this pack disabled now because this completely destroys the sims spawning system.
I started a new save and just checked how bad it was and it's absolutely terrible. I put my sim in Oasis Springs, and started by going to the park.
There were no kids spawning, and also no sims spawning to play chess, I don't even think I saw anyone go fishing, the park seemed completely dead apart from... 8 lovestruck sims who all sat and did the same cloudgazing animation at all the park benches that was available at the park. One single kid spawned at the park and looked lonely, my sim made no friends and I started getting bored quickly, so I went to the gym.
At the gym there was 3 sims working out, immediately as my sim spawned in her workout outfit the game immediately spawned 4 lovestruck sims who walked straight into the gym in their everyday clothing and just stood there. I barely met any new sims.
Don't EA realize how much this ruins the gameplay for many players? I disabled lovestruck and did the same thing, I met sims playing chess, I met Judith Ward fishing at the pond, kids played with each other, I met many new sims, I met classic sims like Summer Holiday, I went to the gym and it was full of classic active sims, We all remember how we met classic premade sims on different lots.
Well they are all gone now, it's just adult lovestruck couples EVERYWHERE.
If anyone from EA sees this, I am not bashing on the pack or the hard work you put in it, but meeting new sims was my favorite thing to do in this game. PLEASE remove this, or just limit them to Ciudad Enamorada like coloncocon suggested.
How do you disable that thing? It's gotten so all I do is try to stop established couples from breaking up, and only doing enough with their kids so they don't get taken away! If I wanted to do nothing but relationships, I'd make all my sims infertile ☹️
You can go to James Turner's page and follow the instructions. His generator will provide the code you need to enter in the launch options.
But do bear in mind that the game is going to give you a warning message that everything might not work correctly if you play a save where you have played with lovestruck, you can still play the save and the only thing I have noticed is that when you will eventually play lovestruck again you will have double premade sims from that pack.
I simply loaded an older save from before I played with lovestruck, that will not generate a warning.
