well, that's not true. I found out that you do not get the action until Acting Level 3

It's also an interaction you do with another sim. Click on them then click perform scene, the romance one will be one of the options.

You can also do romantic scenes for tips as well.

I am also having issues practicing the romance scene. There is no option for my sim to do so; I can click any other sim and the option shows up, but the action never takes place. They get into position, shake themselves like they are going to start, then the dreaded red slash sign appears above my sim and nothing happens. Over and over again. I have tried it in my home, on the street, in clubs, in bars, at the movie studio and with more than 20 sims. It did happen once when I was at a fund raiser with a sim who is a bff, but have no idea why it worked that time and why I can't seen to figure out how to make it work again. Please, any advice is helpful!!

I have also noticed that inviting co-stars and director to my home doesn't always work. The director almost always shows up, but the co-stars don't always come over, thus leaving my prep work undone. I have also tried the prep work once on the movie studio lot, but by then the prep work seems no longer awardable.

The part about the co-stars not showing up is happening for me as well. For the fact that you cannot preform the romance scene is a mystery to me. I would recommend restarting your computer/game. I performed a romance scene today and it worked just fine, sorry I couldn't help!

yeah, i was trying and trying. then i tried to see if leveling up the acting skill would work, and it did. you need to be at least level 3 to be able to do it

Click on the other sim, you must be two sims to do it. If you can't do it without already having a romantic relation, it should be possible inviting producers/co-stars, and practice with a co-star. Perhaps you could even do that on set on the day of the gig (not sure if start time of the gig is closing time of the preparations.

My female sim she's not an actress but I cheated and gave her an acting skill of 4 and she did a romantic scene with Penny Pizzaz for Tips. They hardly had any relationship. She has a pristine reputation as well.

Good to know that performing can be done with no-romantic interests. But hm, will your female performing with another female affect your sim's gender preference? Guess it's hard to check without thorough testing, though :)
