It seems like my Sims now autonomously just want to do romance and woohoo all the time with little else while autonomous is turned ON. They will sometimes flirt with other Sims forgetting they are married. I would imagine that if a Sim has the marriage flag, that autonomous romance interaction would NOT happen unless prompted to. They don't even use Friendly interactions ONLY romance. Is anyone else experiencing this? Before I make a bug report of course, I wanna be sure its not just me.<3 Dani

@Danitsia_TLP There's an open bug report herehttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-excessively-flirt-with-others-no-Loyal-Trait/td-p/11993207It's definitely getting worse. My Sim had a visit from a flirty brother. I couldn't calm him down. He doesn't even have anything in his personality or likes to make him uncontrollably flirty. Where's a working ice bucket when a Sim needs one!

Is anyone else experiencing overly romantic Sims in game after patch?

I have autonomy off but one of my Sims was 'very romantic' yesterday without doing anything romantic.

Yes, on the new save I started today. I accidentally left the game playing when I went to make a cup of tea. Came back and my sim was being asked to go woohoo in the shower! Previously, he had only done a couple of friendly chats with this other sim who is married to a lovely lady my sim is friends with.. I considered exiting without saving, but it adds an interesting twist that I hadn’t planned.

This is another situation but the same Sim.
He was 'very flirty' again (after one little kiss...) and(!) the Sim in the background is approaching him to embrace him!
My Sim never met this townie Sim before and the problematic thing here is, that the townie is an adult and my Sim a teenager. This really shoudn't happen. Luckily I saw it and stopped it in time.
NAPs are turned off.

Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

@jpkarlsenI do not use mods or CC and I delete the cache files often. Creating a new save is no option for me. I don't want this to happen to the Sims in my actual save 😢

I'm pretty sure I watched at least one YouTube video over the weekend where either the creator mentioned this issue or someone mentioned it in a comment. I don't see a bug report yet, but it seems like someone should start one. (I haven't updated to this patch yet, so I can't check for this issue in my game and report it myself.)

Do you have the Free Love NAP active in the neighborhood.
Testing in a new save is just for testing you can always load the old save again.

@jpkarlsenas mentioned in post #4, there are no NAPs.
And even if, an adult should never(nevernever) approach teenagers with physical intimacy.

How am I supposed to test this situation in a new safe?
The only way I can think of is placing teenage Sims and wait until someone approaches them? (I don't have that much time ^^') I opened a report in the bugs forum and if other Simmers 'mee too' then the team knows where to look.
