Sorry for bumping up the old thread, but I now understand why the game needs to let "Too many "Lovestruck" couples everywhere!"
This is the result after using the mod to disable couples invading lots to gaze at the clouds/stars for around one week in-game.
I found the reason when I went to play Pancakes Family to test the venue. Then I got the notification about a very unsatisfied romantic relationship. Both of them are sad. I opened the profile and found "Very Unsatisfied" on both sides.
At first, I wanted to praise the game that they add this to existing relationships related to their plots. I'm curious about how they calculate and choose what level of satisfaction to them.
But when I went to check other households, EVERY COUPLE was "Very Unsatisfied"!
Price's householdIs it the starting point? To make sure, I started a new save and went to check Pancakes. The result of the first day is this.
Pancakes on the first day are fine. (Really?)So, the start point is fine. But seems that if they don't have romantic interaction for a long time, the score will drop.
Is it the reason that the game is designed to bring NPC couples invading everywhere?
And is it better to "disable the romantic progression" of unplayed couples?

I don't know what is a better choice, allowing couples to appear to fix the satisfaction autonomically, or still disabling it. Fortunately, these unsatisfied couples didn't do drama things on the community lots right now. Or because I disable "Autonomous Mean" so they are still in peace.
I want to say again that my reason for using mods isn't to make things spicier but to "control" the unacceptable chaos from unwell game design.
Interesting.
I might disable the romantic progression if it keeps your main played sims balanced and doesn't spawn couples everywhere.
I don't have the EP but it sounds like this a nuisance. You could always turn on/off the option when you want.
MiataplayRecently, I think even MCCC still can't pause romantic satisfaction changing. The cheat action of this EP is still limited. For example, I have to play the sims I want to change their satisfaction before clicking their couple.
If you still don't have this EP, it's safer for the micro-management player because there are new hidden romantic autonomy ex. Romantic Introduction. I disabled Romantic autonomy but they still did!
(Another mod have to be added to avoid this orz)
I have a good mod right now in my game that controls attractions for turn on /turn off traits thankfully. I don't need this EP for that.
I would be buying this EP in the future for it's new gameplay if it's not to cheesy for my taste and I like a good cheese ball! Time will tell.🙂
