Oh okay and yes I see it on both, home lot and in public.
Thank you for replying. Stay safe. 🙂
@xLilacSims The trick with romance options are, you have to progress it... Slowly...
On first interaction, never use like blow kiss, use pickup line, snuggle, confess attraction, etc. those are for later. Only use like Flirt or compliment appearance. Watch the interaction, if you see the red "--', then do NOT do any more romance actions. It'll say "Awkward" in the conversation window at the top. Any further romance options, even flirt, will fail and it'll only get worse. If you see the red and "awkward", then switch over to Friendly interactions until the "awkward" goes away. Then you can continue with flirt and compliments.
Keep doing those and throw in an occasional Hold Hands, blow kiss, or even an embrace if the pink bar is high enough. If one fails, retreat again and switch to friendly until you see "pleasant conversation".
Look at their mood in the conversation box also. If it says "angry", "sad", "tense" or similar, you'll need to get rid of that first. Use Brighten Day, or if you have an empathetic sim, relieve or share burden.
One thing you can do to help it along a LOT, is if you have someone you are already romantic with, go on a date with them and get Gold on the date. You'll get the romantic ice bucket. Put it in your house and enable the romantic vibe. Invite the new sim over and they'll instantly get romantic and be much more pliable.
If you really want a challenge, try romancing someone with the "unflirty" trait like Lily Feng. That's not very easy.
