I tend to play my core Values. I'm also a Hopeless Romantic. I make sure to have my Sims marry prior to woohoo (yeah, Granny is a fuddy-duddy). I do have my game on full autonomy, and it's nice to see my married couples interact romantically, all on their own. I do direct them to woohoo when it's time in my plot for them to have another child. But, for the most part I don't focus on it. I have my Sims (when they're dating) be romantic, but it can get awkward if it gets too flirty. I noticed this when my pair of teens were interacting. He got all flirty and it suggested their conversation was awkward. Of course they were at her parent's house … I switched control to his next younger brother because he's my Rising Star and he needed to work on that. Eventually the older brother will marry his girlfriend, that's in the stars, or the plot. ;)
