I am scared now to play any other household like ever reading this stuff. I didn't realize Sims could cheat without the correct prompts. My two fellas are married and the only time I ever had a problem with the romance bar thing was because one decided it was a good idea to run outside and try out his newly discovered "enchanting" charisma trait. He gave the guy a small pink romance bar as a result, but to me that doesn't exactly mean cheating per say. It just means that was a plum thing in the system hah. My boys haven't woohooed or kissed on anyone other than each other. I did have the gardener of all people flirt with one of them who got seriously upset and embarrassed about it and his modlet thing said he didn't appreciate what he was asked. His husband overheard and even though his other half wasn't comfortable or reacting positively towards the question, he still got seriously angry about it all (I cheated and went to a previous save I"m not having unfair conflict).

I guess my question in all of this is what is honestly considered cheating? Hugging another Sim? Talking to them?? To me having that romance bar come up would be that but doesn't that take some time and work? Especially when it comes to woohoo?

It can turn into cheating if they have the 'pink bar' with another Sim no matter the gender etc. Because if you rotate you may see those two out somewhere and they engage in romantic interactions even though one or maybe even both are your own Sims and you just aren't playing them at the moment. If they have a pink bar with another Sim they will start doing romantic interactions when you see them out somewhere. They build this pink bar with another Sim on their own when you aren't playing them. Your Sim and a townie etc.
