Romantic interest in TS4
Hi, everyone. I'm new to TS4, after having played TS3. I'm wondering how differently TS4 handles romantic interest. My Sim was talking to someone at the gym and made a few flirtatious comments,...

@ACruelButLovingGod I turned off full autonomy for that very reason. And I agree; happily partnered Sims shouldn't be doing more than a bit of innocent flirting, if that much.
@GalacticGal The game seems very well-programmed in that respect. Acting too impulsively seems to work out badly for overly eager Sims. I also like the fact that you get different mixes of "suggested" actions as a conversation develops. Some of the choices aren't very good ones, but it seems like the most outrageous options are off the table, such as trying to WooHoo with a Sim yours barely knows.
I created a Sim solely for the purpose of learning how the different romantic interactions worked. I had him flirt with three different women, but he didn't take things too far with any of the three. I didn't have him kiss any of them.
When Saturday morning rolled around, ALL THREE of them showed up at his house, one after another!! :o
I decided to see what happened if he invited them all in and attempted to have a friendly conversation with all of them...no flirting at all. Two of his guests became Very Sad. One of these women hid in the bathroom. My Sim sent them all home and spent the afternoon playing games on his tablet.
Later that evening, he went out on the town. He ran into one of his "crushes," and over the course of a couple hours of good conversation, she cheered up and things are basically back to normal. That seemed realistic to me.
