Will we ever get unrequited love in this game?

Never thought about this, it's a very good idea and adds realism to the game. I've always thought of how annoying it is that with a little effort you can pretty much marry anyone in the game - seems unrealistic to me.

Love this idea :) especially for teens gameplay!

In one of my saves, I have a MCCC situation where the long-time love interest of my sim keeps getting married to other sims and it kind of plays out like unrequited love. She convinced him to leave his first spouse, then a few days later he got married to someone else even though he was still asking my sim out on dates and they had twins together :# Of course they have a mutual romance bar so it's not the same thing, but I've enjoyed making a more complex storyline out of it. Anyways not suggesting a mod, just sharing!

An attraction system could make this work.

Like, if Sim A was super attracted to Sim B (maybe you could pick their turn ons and turn offs like in the sims 2) and Sim B was less attracted so Sim A, Sim B's romance meter would go up slower than Sim A's.

Love wouldn't be impossible, but it would take more time to win Sim B over.

February is coming it be nice to get something like this in time for V day

TBH the game could do with a whole pack dedicated to relationships.

This has happened in one of my games. The protagonist Sim, Paul Nice, hit it off with Summer Holiday when she showed up on the Welcome Wagon. They couldn't stop chatting, the friendship bar increased quickly and they even started flirting with each other. On subsequent days Paul would invite Summer over to hang out, they got on well, they flirted and the little pink romance bar started to increase. But whenever Paul tried to move the romance along, Summer would always shy away. She'd get embarrassed and awkward whenever Paul asked if she was single, or if he used a pick-up line or blew a kiss. I gave up trying to woo Summer...I guess she only really has eyes for Travis.

I've been waiting for something like that as well.

I've been wanting this and any kind of one-sided relationship for soooo long. Not just for romance: perhaps two sims are good friends but one of them secretly hates them for some reason; you could tell so many good stories with this.

Yeah, MCCC does a great job breaking sims up, if anything. I had two sims that I wanted to marry, they were soulmates and everything, but when I switched households for a bit I got a notification that not only did one of the sims marry someone else, he got that random sim pregnant as well. I was upset, but I just rolled with it.

It's not the same as "official" unrequited love, but when I went to play him and his new pregnant wife, his ex kept calling constantly. It was actually pretty sad.

But I would love it if EA added something that could mimic this and have their romance/friendship bar differ. It seems like such a simple addition.
