Its the loyal trait. The trait is … special. Your sim gets guilty if he talks to other in a flirty mode, he gets the feeling he has *cheated* if some other sims flirt with him. The whole trait is a mess and if you don’t suffer from mean bug, I would not recommend using it in this state!
I was so happy to get this trait too. I thought finally they won’t flirt with other sims. But turning off NAP helped and then they added this trait and I was happy it wouldn’t happen anymore but now it is even more: even with their toddlers apparently 🤮
Yeah, me too. I just wanted a trait which stop random flirting, not a trait which something completely illogical.
Another problem is this trait cause an autonomy social action which give a big minus in friendship if your sim catches another sim in a mean action. I have a story which sometimes my character is mean to another (specially to his brother), and his dad now scold him for it! I play with autonomy off; I don’t want this action! So again, a trait which is too much for me. I changed his traits fast to unflirty again after I saw this.
It looks like you found it, but, sadly, romance bars with children and toddlers is a bug that predates the loyal trait.
And the game’s idea of cheating is just…
it’s there only thing that’s caused me to rage quit. Repeatedly.
I tried but then after when the sim when whit a other sims he was not able to other stuff whit other sims it was still saying you need to confess
I said above that the game's definition of cheating "is just..."
Let me be more specific.
Your Sims consider their spouse not "rejecting" someone who flirted with them to be an offense equal to walking in on their spouse woohooing with another.
This video (should be queued up to the right place) shows Sims rejecting flirting. https://youtube.com/watch?v=tE1OHODW_KM&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&t=576 Accepting or rejecting socials is not something players have any control over.
There's a tweet from a modder here that suggests that suggests that this behavior might be partly because there is no individual Sim context in a group conversation, just a group context. So, to use their example, if Bella and Mortimer are having a flirty conversation and someone joins them, Bella and Morty don't know who it is they feel flirty towards. They speculate that this is why the "awkward conversation" thing happens.
