Oh dear...
This is starting to give me the sinking feeling that it's trying to point us towards Growing Together (like the changing tables). I mean, some interactions are now only working if you have GT. It's been difficult enough to play with broken console controls (which we are told will be "fixed") but now live mode is just as difficult and more painful for my RSI trying to find the interactions I need. I can't add more content until controls are fixed and I also don't add more content until months have passed to allow for fixes. GT is on my schedule for December. Has my game become even less accessible for a sales tactic? I dearly hope not. Maybe I'm cynical.
I think again, a simple compromise has been missed. They could have had a standard couple of pages of general dialogue without mean/mischief/flirty interactions followed by sections, (plus 19 is overkill).
I'd have Ask About Day (now lost to me), Discuss Interests, some funny interactions, Heartfelt Compliment, something about the Festival they're at if they're at one (again, lost in my game) for starters on the first page with a few more polite general interactions. I don't need "Shout Forbidden Words" or Flirty stuff with a stranger, bff or married Sim and I don't need mischief on the first page like I've got. That pushes me to have to search so chats take ages.
Small talk and Silliness complicate things for me too as Friendly and Funny already do the job.
Also they've got to fix autonomy. My Sims are virtually at the point of The Singularity after this patch (shivers 😱).
