Social Bunny Romance is Out of Control

My teen sims, tbh I don't use social bunny with any sim older than teen, are gaining romances left and right and it only sometimes follows the sexual orientation of my sims. Almost 75% of the social bunny contacts are romantic interests t that I didn't create.

I don't want that. At all. I don't mind when my sims make random friendships but I always want to control the romantic lives and this is out of control. No matter how many times i ask to just be friends the romance comes back

Is the only solution to disable social bunny?
  • I know! And now my Sim is getting flirted with like crazy with people who aren't of what she's interested in and I ask them who they are interested in and they are the oppisite so there's no way it should be happening. I had to finally go mean on someone who kept trying to flirt with my Sim even though I wanted them to just be best friends at college and it didn't work out. I feel like the sexual orientation thing is very broken along with everything else. It's like people can just be friends they don't have to automatically flirt with each other or be attracted to literally everybody.

    Same here. It’s so annoying especially when it doesn’t follow their sexual preferences at all. I went to look at my sims relationship to find her current partner and I had to scroll through like everyone she knew until I found them. And then I had to remember who it was now. ?

    Same! When I'm scrolling to find her boyfriend I have to search through like a sea of minor pink meters to find him! It's so annoying! I've asked to be friends, modified the relationships and I swear it only creates more romantic relationships. I even disabled the app and she's still gaining them... like lol why!?

    I liked a message and responded with a double heart. And all of a sudden they had some romance. I thought the last two with hearts meant how much you loved something and not a flirting action. Maybe thats whats causing it. If your saying you love that with one of the hearts.

  • You can disable NPC Romance gain in the pack settings, I'm not entirely sure if it's that specifically that prevents romance gain through the app, but from my experience sarcastically using the kissy face for hate messages, my Sim hasn't gained romance with anyone else but their romanctic partners.

    I am not 100% certain but hopefully if you turn it off then maybe it makes a difference for you too. Otherwise you may just have to avoid social bunny and deactivate it entirely.
