Has autonomous flirting been changed?
I've been playing a sim for an entire sim year now, and not once has a sim flirted with him (and he socializes a lot). I thought maybe it was mods, but I took them out, started a new game, put romanti...

Upon further digging, I'm gonna go with I think it has. I've poked around before (made about 200 mods) but now I see something I've never seen before called "testSet_RomanceSocialsAutonomous" on low level romance socials (like flirt and compliment appearance) that leads to a test to see if certain things have taken place (like a previous flirt). Pretty sure it disallows autonomous flirting if they haven't happened. Could be wrong (no way to compare it since there's no old game to look at), but during my tests I've had two virile +6 flirty sims in a room together and they will not flirt without any mods in place until I manually make one flirt with the other. Then they're all over each other. Kind of changes the game.
So IF I'm right, basically it looks like sims will not flirt with each other on their own, now, unless they've flirted at least once manually. Or already have a romantic relationship. And there is a sentiment called "Enamored" that I don't think I've ever seen, but I think that gives them the go ahead, too. Totally will change my game if so; I like playing so that things just happen, like romance, and if I have to force it it will really take spontaneity out of the game. So hope I'm wrong, other than the fact that my sims still won't flirt and I don't know why. Unless all the Agnes Crumplebottom flirting in public stuff is mucking things up.
