What do you think or do if your Sim suddenly flirts with someone that you don't like?

I use MCCC to stop random flirting from happening. I don't like it when Sims I view as faithful start randomly flirting with everyone because they're flirty.

If my sims are single & free then they can go for it. However, if my sims have a significant other then I put a stop to it.
I would love a toggle to turn off the automatic flirting if possible.

I don't have a problem with my Sim showing a personal preference for a particular Sim. My problem is when they don't show a preference at all and flirt with someone random every day and there's no rhyme or reason. It's fine if they are a serial romantic, but even then, there's never a difference in preferred sex or body type or features or chemistry so it's always "anything goes".

What I'd like is for Sims to show some kind of preferences so that the player can either allow them to follow that path if they choose or redirect the Sim in another direction that would change the preferences if they wish. Ideal if we could choose some things in CAS as well. It would display attractions to certain things that would make Sims different from each other. The flirting free-for-all doesn't do it for me.

But if I ever do feel that my Sim seems to gravitate toward a particular individual then I go with it.

I use a mod that stops it from happening if they are in a relationship and a mod with an attraction system.

I wish random flirting would happen in my game. Currently it only happens in neighborhoods with the Free Love NAP enabled.

They need to be flirty. Maybe you could add some flirty aura objects to the lots to help set the mood, or romantic aura lot trait.

I really like that the sims don't beat up their loved ones for "cheating" (aka getting flirted at) anymore, but react sad first and often walk away downcast. MCCC can clean the moodlets and the romance bar and I also have a sentiments b-gone mod, so longterm consequences should be minimal.

Just last week one of my teens grew up in a flirty mood. Present at the party were her (same aged) gang friends, but also her step-father, both her godfathers and a former nanny, none of them blood-related to Emma, all of them game-controlled and flirty, too. As a YA, Emma was now eligible for flirting with these men :o Knowing that the game has zero situational awareness, I moved Emma the h- out of Dodge, directing her to open some presents!

When it happens I end it, because I don't feel it's authentic flirting out of an attraction system, since that doesn't exist in the game yet. I feel like it's usually caused by a romantic trait, deco emotional item or alluring trait in the other Sim. I don't think romantic traits should make a Sim who flirts with everyone. They could just be romantic often for the Sim they are in a relationship with and otherwise when in a romantic mood just want to go on a date, read a romance novel, bake some heart shaped cookies etc.. but not actually autonomously flirt with strangers. Even if a Sim finds another Sim attractive because they have an alluring trait, it shouldn't mean they would flirt automatically, if for example one of them was already married. I prefer married Sims to behave faithfully to each other and not flirt with others autonomously.

I just let it happen to see where it might lead, sometimes it’s like a house on fire, and sometimes it’s just a momentary thing and they end up just friends or not getting along at all in the end, and it all makes the story feel much more organic.

Sorry to pick Other.
I usually let my sims do their own thing and if they decide they're interested in another sim, awesome! However, if my sim is already in a committed relationship I don't usually want them flirting with others.
