How do I get rejected (romantically)?

Have you tried the 'slap 'em silly' interaction?

With a new relationship, I usually see rejections if I try to use the "pick up line" or "confess attraction" socials while the pink bar is still really low, assuming the receiving sim is not in a flirty mood. Maybe also "caress cheek" or "embrace."

How high the pink bar needs to be for the action to be accepted does vary not only by mood but by individual. Pierce Delgato took forever to warm up in my game but Evie was practically engaged a few hours after she met my sim. Other than unflirty I'm not sure if any traits affect this, or if it's mostly random.

With established relationships, the only time I've seen romance interactions rejected is after one was caught cheating - while the very angry response was the dominant emotion the cheated on sim would reject all romance socials. But if the cheated on sim has the romantic trait in my experience they get sad instead of angry and may not reject flirts.

I have never seen the "flirt" or "compliment appearance" socials rejected except by cheated on sims and only for that first 24 hours or however long the angry response lasts. Or "Offer Rose" either.

When it is available, try flirting with a celebrity who is full of himself t.u.r.d. I know this works as my sim who had a half full romance bar tried to first kiss her celebrity squeeze and he put his hand in her face to stop her! I could have I would have reached through this monitor and snapped his little head off. :D But back on subject, sorry, I would try a celebrity to flirt with, and so forth.

If you use any romantic interaction apart from compliment appearance flirt or the flirty emotion interactions when the romance bar is at zero there is a fair chance that your sim will get rejected. Also try making your sims unflirty. Tgat also helps.

Have an idle third person around. They will randomly interject, turn the conversation awkward, and nothing works for a bit even when I furiously attempt to delete said intruder. Hence why I hate 4's conversation mechanic.

My sims almost always get rejected with the confess attraction interaction

Not sure if Feng is her real last name because she's married, but look for Lily Feng. She has the unflirty trait.

Otherwise, just try Romance social actions right off the bat with a sim that has 0 friendship/relationship.

This is the one idea suggested in this thread that I haven't already tried, but I realised after reading it that the flirting sim himself is famous... Could this be the reason? Are ordinary mortals just so infatuated with celebrities that they can't even grasp the concept of rejecting one?

I think Zulf did a mod for no rejection mod or maybe it was one of Zero's mods.

Which traits are you using? Any objections to using custom traits. Some traits including custom traits work better than others. I would use the romantic trait and custom trait Pretty to help. The other custom traits like Aphrodite haven't been updated and might not be. I used to use the Aphrodite trait because it had a broadcaster to make other sims around them flirty which aided in romantic interactions. The custom traits: pretty girl and pretty do the same thing but to a lesser degree.

Thanks, but I was actually looking for the opposite, I wanted my sim to get rejected. Perhaps there's a mod for that, too?


As for the Unflirty trait that has been brought up: That was one of the first things I tried, but it didn't quite work as intended. All it did was give the target sim a tense moodlet afterwards, but she did still reciprocate the romantic interaction while it was happening. I also tried playing around with the friendship and attraction bars, making both sims miserable emotion-wise, giving them opposite personality traits, removing any traits and skills (such as Charisma) that could have a positive effect on flirting, cheating a negative romance-related sentiment... Nothing worked.

The one thing that did work in the end (after one and a half hours of desperation) was making both sims embarrassed before trying to flirt. Then, and only then did the target sim finally refuse to have her hands kissed. I tried the mistletoe kiss right afterwards, just out of curiosity, and suddenly she was receptive again (despite still being embarrassed), but I only needed one clip and I got it. Still, what a strange game. If only romance was that easy in real life...

Well, my Sim got rejected repeatedly yesterday. She and the sim had flirted successfully before, but she had just gotten the "incredibly friendly" trait from the rewards store and he has the evil trait, so I assumed that was why. You can try assigning those traits.

Try doing mean interactions to get them really, really angry. Then do a romantic interaction.
