Do you guys make a romantic partner for your sim or do you have them wait until they find someone they like? I have wonderful whims so it is pretty helpful and then it just alerts me when they find someone attractive. But I normally don’t go by townies. I make themOr get them off the gallery. What do you guys do? My next gen found a townie attractive today when I was playing so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go with it or just wait cause she is a teen so she has time to find someone else but yeah. I like to plan ahead.

Currently I try to find someone. Specifically instead of just adding them to the household I want to make them into a roommate to keep their autonomy.But finding someone who- Is around the same age- Looks good- Has a at least passable fashion sense- Is willing to become a roommate- Is currently single- Is romantically and whooho interested with their sexual orientationis very hard.

Like @telemwill WonderfulWhims played a role in my game, but not as much as before sexual orientation was added. That's the main reason I used WW, to make sexual orientation fixed so that my sims stayed true to the orientation I had in mind. I take each sim individually and decide how I want to handle their love life. Some of the premades I will pick their partners. I used to do the same for my sims, but now I let them choose. If I see a sim I think is a good match I may steer my sim to spend more time around that particular sim and see if they will hook up on their own. When we had whims I would watch and see if they got a whim to flirt with that sim. If they did, I'd clear it, and wait to see if it popped up again the next time they met. If it did, I'd watch to see if either one would start the flirting. If after a couple of meetings they didn't flirt on their own I'd queue my sim to flirt one time and then let them take it from there.

I also use Wonderful Whims. I randomize their preferences with the strength being heavy. I only allow my sims to date ones they find attractive or higher, and only allow them to marry those they find extremely attractive. I pretty much let my sim lead the way. Since doing it this way, I've had some pretty decent pairings. It makes the connections feel less forced and more real.My current teen sim had a crush on someone but she didn't feel the same about him. She friend zoned him in the cuddle carts. His twin sister was successful with her crush.

Normally I make a sim for another but now I'm waiting for a non playable sim to call my sim and ask them to be their boy/girlfriend and it isn't happening with adult sims just teens.

I always let it happen "naturally" and it's always townies (or premades if early enough in the game).

Seems that way in real life too ? anyways yeah I agree. I have mccc so I can sort of cheat and see who’s married and not but the finding someone who doesn’t already have a kid is hard. Some of my challenges u can only have one kid so that’s why I look at that. And if it is a townie I just update their look.
