Does Ask to Be Woohoo Partners ever work??

Has anyone had any luck getting an aromantic allosexual sim to successfully Ask to Be Woohoo Partners? I've made good friends with three different sims and they all turned my sim down. Also it appears that once a sim turns down your sim, they can't ask again, which I'm pretty sure is different than how the Ask to Be Boyfriend/Girlfriend and Propose actions work.

    @shinjitenoyami A workaround for any Sim dating barriers is to create your own townies or edit existing NPCs in Other Households to suit your Sim's preferences.
    It's something I do regularly, I cull all the extra townies and edit the ones I want to keep so that they can join my game or just join my Sim's social circle or dating life.
    You can even get one of them somewhere to live and play as them to introduce them to your Sim, then move them back to Other Households and switch back. I have a flat share Sim with an apartment where I add some random Sim roommates that I don't want to play but are background players edited to be suitable for other Sims as a friend or love interest.
    I started this because my game has an issue with townies over spawning in some weird...and I mean weird outfits. It's evolved into being something I find really helpful to facilitate friendships and relationships.

    @simsplayer818 I checked all three guys she asked and they were all single, "exploring," and interested in Woohoo with both Male and Female sims (which seems to be the default for pre-existing townies in my game). So the preferences should be fine. When my sim was turned down, I didn't get a popup saying the other sim isn't interested in Woohoo with her - all I see is an embarrassed moodlet. When I've had other sims flirt with someone where there was a preferences mismatch, I got a popup saying the other sim wasn't interested in sims of their type. These I edited in CAS and it was fine.

    @shinjitenoyami I think there are a few teething problems for them to sort out with dating.
    Creating your own townies and then introducing them to your Sim certainly makes it lot easier. I used to find the game overly flirty. At events and public gatherings all the interactions were either mean or inappropriately flirty but there has maybe been a bit of an over correction here.

    I had the exact same issue: I always asked to be woohoo partners and always got turned down.

    I found out that if my Sim is best friends with the other Sim it works and they are now woohoo partners. I tried it with two differents Sims: One of my Sims is aromantic and always got turned down. It was successful when he became best friends with the other Sim. The other Sim was not aromantic but the Sim they wanted to be their wohoo partner was so I asked them and got turned down even when they were good friends and had very high friendship. As soon as they got best friends the interaction was successful.

    I don`t know if this is a bug or if this is intentional, but in my opinion this is not how it should work. Being friends or MAYBE being good friends would be nice, but Sims can only have one best friend and this shouldn`t be the Sim they woohoo with. Maybe they have another best friend with whom they grew up with. I don`t wanna bunk them down just to make the ask to be woohoo partners interaction successful!

    I've had Sims become Woohoo Partners before! I play vanilla (which means no mods) but I don't know the exact circumstances in which it happened, like if they were already good friends or whatnot. I will try to pay more attention next time my Sims get a Woohoo Partner to report back with more details lol

    @shinjitenoyami - I have had success. Immediately after updating to patch 1.93 (On Black Friday) I finally updated, and tried out this new interaction, on a completely vanilla game, with no CC or Mods.

    The couple were friendly, and interested in both men and women. They accepted. Woohoo interactions happened immediately, but after that, they did not accept at all for the duration of the play, which lasted 2 Sim days. Eventually I just asked them to go into a relationship, as the other feature stopped working.
