The code for fated mate is set to give you a 50% chance EVERY time you run a flirt interaction with a werewolf. Lumpinou has a mod that changes it to once per SIM and reduces the chance to 15%. I imagine maxis made it like this so that it would be easier for a player to get a specific sim they wanted to BE your fated mate...and did not take into consideration the opposite effect on people who pair their sims up in a different way. How bad is the tense moodlet for flirting with a not fated mate?

Edit: that tense moodlet is pretty brutal, +3, oof. I wonder if when they said we can ignore the fated mate thing, what they really meant was "just bury the tense moodlet with a bunch of other happy moodlets that the game throws at you."

The tense moodlet pairs up with other tension (work usually) and anger (because wolf) and sadness (because guilty wolf) and uncomfortable (because fight with Greg or whatever) making that moodlet harder to bury and I kinda can't pretend it away as easily when my weresim is flirting semi angrily and feels like they're cheating. It's destroyed two of my sims. I don't enjoy this at all. I would have preferred the option to accept or decline a fated mate. I don't even really like, though it's something, a reduced chance. I fate all of my sims and it's a long process.
