How many Gregs?!

So, my sim has been trying (and mostly failing) to romance Greg. She managed to make him somewhat friendly during her childhood and teen years (I'm guessing he's okay with kids). She finally aged to YA and I started trying to get them all romantic. I say trying, because he only responded to cheats occasionally, and only in werewolf form.

Out of maybe 10-15 interactions I managed to get them romantic twice.

This was the first time, I managed to get a try for a baby in a bush option. He ran like the wind and disappeared :| (notice the fact that she's battered in both pictures. He keeps brawling with her which does make their friendship lower, but the romance stays put).

The second time I managed it, I noticed it was an entirely different Greg. I have two Gregs in my sims relationship panel.

Again, as soon as I got the try for a baby in a bush option, he noped right out of there!

I have 2 questions.

1. If I go back again (after he ran away) will I get Greg no.3?
2. Is there a way to get him in the sack? After the initial cheat the options appear I can choose try to communicate and then he'll usually get options I can use. However the minute I try and get jiggy with him he runs off!

    Beguile is a reward trait you can get him flirty it can help keep him easy to talk to, as for multiple gregs you might need to repair your game some have removed the trait that said they didn't get another greg so you shouldn't have another one just having him exist.

    I’ll try this. Something is definitely screwy, there are 2 Gregs, 2 Rorys and 2 Kristophers. I might save my sim and the two houses of spares, start a whole new game (after repairing) add them in and use Mcc to sort everyone’s relationships!

    Wow, can that girl handle more than one Greg? That's just too wild & funny. >:) :D
  • Success!
    Beguile totally worked!

    They actually made it to the bush and he didn't reset!

  • That’s what I assumed, but he was spawning when he was still where he should be. I hadn’t looked at him in cas full edit he ran off and despawned (as he is supposed to) but a new Greg respawned when my sim checked out the signs again.

    Kristopher volkov and Rory also spawned twice, Rory was identical but Kristopher had a different surname. So far, no extra Spawns in my new repaired save, and Greg and my sim have a daughter called Genesis, he still lives/appears where he should, I got them into one of the new woohoo bushes!

    I'm glad beguile worked for you, it's weird some of the duplicates people are getting I think they are working on it so maybe it'll be fixed though I wouldn't mind a copy of the world if it wasn't causing any issues ha. Two of the main sims though...hmm maybe them too lol.
  • Just waiting on my game repair now, it's going to take a while! I've saved my sims so I can add them back in, I was on generation 13 (I think), so a clear out was on the cards soon anyway!

    edit - I guess that means my sim is gonna have to romance a new Greg anyway :D
  • Yeah, I tested cheating him into a household and another didn't spawn, so that is pretty odd to me. Maybe there is a replacement system, but I haven't seen it from my initial experiments.
  • I imagine the multiple Gregs is the same reason that the game spawns multiple Crumplebottoms since they are lore centric special Sims.
