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...

I don’t want random autonomous flirting in my game between sims I haven’t manually approved it with.
I think the biggest initiators of random romance were the Flirty and Enchanting introduction and the Free Love NAP. Also flirty wooing roommates. After I modded those to not be autonomous, I think the game works the way I want it to now. Sims will autonomously flirt with each other, but only if they already have a romance bar, which I made them have. Prevents all sorts of weird situations with in-laws flirting with you or the flirty nanny or butler coming on to clients.
The two test sets I’ve tweaked to refine all romantic behaviour in the game are the one you mentioned, RomanceSocialsAutonomous and also the RomanceSocialsAutonomousUnflirty which I think both affect scores.
I haven’t tried removing all my inhibitor mods, but I’d imagine nothing has changed in the game recently that would change the vanilla modless game flirting chances. Maybe you’re just not having much luck with your sims getting into the right social contexts on their own? A lot of additional interactions become available if your sims aren’t just flirty, but also in “suggestive conversation” context (which the flirty introductions induce right away). All my sims tend to do when chatting is make gross jokes, which keeps conversations neutral.
Pretty sure my game was just mucked up somehow. But just to address your comments, the different ways people play are what make mods so important. I can see wanting it the way you do as well. Personally I think it's better to have a lot of autonomous actions going on, because it's easier I think to mod them out than to mod them to make them happen. And as for the additional interactions you mentioned; I modded the flirty introductions right out. They made it TOO easy to me, plus there didn't seem to be any way to stop my male sim who preferred females to use them on males as well. And I find I don't want the additional flirty actions to happen right away often, because they tend to fail if you haven't built up a tiny bit of romantic momentum. In any case, two very flirty sims talking to one another should have been able to flirt on their own in my game the way it's set up, and they simply weren't for some reason.
