About flirting to friend sims

Hi, I have 5 sims, four sims are male sims and 1 sim is a female. The male sims are R, J, S, and G. The female sim is S.

The 1st story is made before female S joined my household. R and female S was a romantic couple but G looked like more interested in female S. R didn't look happy with her, so I asked R vampire to use 'drain life spirit' on her. And they got back to the stranger and also other male housemates became strangers with her.

Now here's the 2nd story. I asked G to be romantic with the female S, and they became a couple very soon. But..she didn't look happy with G at all. Whenever she visited my household, she got angry or very tensed.. or she just visited when G is at rabbit hole work, while she was being flirty when she had been a couple with R. So my G sim asked her to just be friends, and she accepted it with no problem.

Here's the 3rd story. I asked R to use 'cheerful introduction' to female S. I noticed the relationship bar filled over half  just after ONLY introduction. I was surprised to see that. So R asked her join in the household and she did. R sim proposed her at Romance festival and they are engaged. My male sims are currently challenging the university degrees. I let her join the university too. While the sims were doing homework all together, all of a sudden, she flirted to G...? My R sim got angry by the flirty spouse..?(not married yet but anyway flirty spouse moodlet), So I decided to break the relationship between the female S and G completely using destroy.relationship cheat. After that, they became the complete strangers. A few days later, the female S was ABOUT to  'complement appearance' to my male S..I stopped it almost straightaway but the command was already working itself. I used 'reset object' but my R sim got the flirty spouse angry moodlet again. 

Now here's my question. Is that normal to flirt autonomously while she was in flirty emotion? I've never seen my male R and G sims being flirty with other sims in very flirty emotion. Also she has 'smitten' about my R sim. How an earth can she flirt with other sim who has never been her boyfriend before? Her traits are insider, art lover and self assured. R's traits are Creative, Genius and Music Lover. G's traits were Romantic, Music Lover and Self Assured but I changed his romantic trait to cheerful by purchasing re-trating potion because I don't want to see he gets romantic with her ever again.. So now he is not romantic any more but I don't know why he keeps watching Romantic channel on TV and get flirty himself again..? But fortunately, he hasn't done any romantic interaction with female S  since that time.

My question: Is it still possible to be flirt with her friend sim while she is having 'smitten' sentiment with her fiancee? I don't use any story mod.

  • I think it's safe to say that Sims without the Romantic trait ABSOLUTELY DO autonomously flirt if they feel flirty. The Sims that led me to disabling random flirting in MCCC were:

    Goofball, Music Lover, Child of the Ocean

    Foodie, Ambitious, Materialistic

    I ended up cheating Player onto every adult played Sim in one save, which made them autonomously flirt (more) 😉 but at least their relationships weren't ruined when they did it. (The reason "more" is in parenthesis is because in both cases the "autonomous flirt" was "some rando was flirty and did some social that they didn't outright reject but didn't respond in kind," but it upset their spouse... and my plans. I've seen other flirty sims autonomously use "Enchanting Introduction" on Patchy (lol what no!), etc.)

    To Answer your question: I've never had a sim flirt autonomously (while in an active household), and I avoid the "Romantic" Trait like the plague (i also avoid generational play like the plague too so...go figure). The Only Pink Bars my sims have ever gotten were out of my direct instructions to flirt with other sims (that being said, I did manage a first kiss on a first date, followed by wedding with a GHOST who eventually rebecame human at the wishing well :P). I think it's fair to say Sims without trait-based incentives do not flirt, unless given a reason. My Sims only have flirted with sims I instruct them to, and nobody else. Albeit I take more direct command over my charges (sims) than most people, going as far as to instruct them on what to eat and helping them "put away" leftover salads.

    Edit: Also I would say that any history of romance - whether positive, negative, or completely neutral, is enough to start the ball rolling on autonomous flirting. As long as the bar exists they're fair game.

    @LeissaMystI know what you mean and I've believed in the same way too until she tried to flirt with male S. Thanks. 🙂

    @aodoherty Maybe because you hadn't used the delete relationship cheat to remove the bar yet? Like I said, history is what matters not relationships or levels of interest; the bar is present, they have a history even if it's not filled.

    @LeissaMyst My male S sim has never had any love relationship with my S female sim. I understand if she tried to do it with G as she had been G’s ex girlfriend. But she has been a friend male S all the time. So I think you are confused with G, instead of male S. G had a romantic trait, but he hasn’t been flirting with anyone without my permission while even he was in very flirty mood. So G had ‘smitten’ sentiment towards female S. But as I told above, he totally got back to single after I destroyed the relationship, green bar and pink bar all together, and he hasn’t flirted with female S since the relationship was erased. So my main point was that I was wondering it can be possible to flirt with other sim who has never been in romantic relationship. My male S sim is NOT her ex-boyfriend but she flirted to S male sim, not G sim who was her boyfriend.

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn Yes! You are correct. The reason that my sims didn’t do enchanted introduction is because I’ve been using no auto rude flirty enchanted introduction mod for a long time. 🙂 Before using this mod, I noticed the sims do the random flirty and enchanted introduction many times with high charisma skill. But anyway, I added no random flirt mod, and my couple sims are totally ok now. :D
