when removing your mods, have you already tried renaming your user folder ?
Yes, I renamed my user folder. I ended up turning off romantic exploration and received no change in romantic interests. I've never had it off before and never had this issue.
Well, if they are exploring, it can change although it's odd that asking for fairy dust is counting as romantic interaction.
Might be connected to the constant flirting issue that seems to have gotten worse with the patch ?
It's possible. I've started two new saves since then. Zhaleh Amani is still obessed with my sim although since romantic exploration is turned off they don't form a romantic relationship. When interacting with any other sim inside his gender preference, he does develop romantic relationships. Right now he has romantic relationships with a plant sim after asking for forbidden fruit and magic bean. And he has romantic relationships with Morgyn Ember and Simeon Silversweater after asking them to teach him magic.
