If their romance bar is below zero, romantic interactions are likely to be rejected even with high friendship - and even if their romance is at something like -1 and basically looks like zero.

What I’d suggest is to find a way to make them both flirty. Serenading the other Sim is an easy way to make them flirty if your Sim has a high enough instrument skill. Making Flirty Heart Cookies and calling them to a meal is another way.

If both Sims are flirty, romantic socials are pretty likely to succeed even when they’d normally be rejected otherwise.

If that somehow doesn’t work, then just work on making out the friendship while giving the romance meter a chance to decay back to zero (in case it’s just slightly below) - but the flirty trick should do it.

Bad relationships are surprisingly easily salvageable if you know what you’re doing. I had one married couple whose relationship was literally all over the place (mainly because they argued a LOT). They could max out both bars in the red and have them both back at full green a couple days later. Sometimes they even managed to have one bar in the red with the other in the green (though they never maxed them out in opposite directions at the same time).

Yeah, those relationship bars can be quite easy to manipulate.

I will try to make them flirty next time. I'm glad there are these TS3 reward lamps in build mode which give emotional auras, I think one of them has a flirty one. Actually, according to UI Cheats Extension, their romance bar is at 4, so atleast a bit of progress. I noticed that things like compliment appearance seem to work, but anything else doesn't.
