Option for romantic interaction not showing up in game.

Hi, I am trying to initiate romantic interactions between two young adult sims, one woman and one male. Both had compatible romantic interests however when I click on the sim the romantic interactions do not appear. 'friendly', 'funny', 'mean' and 'mischief' show up but not romantic. This is really frustrating because I cannot do any romantic interactions with any sims. They should be able to have romantic interactions as both are young adults. Moreover, I tried it with another sim in the world and the same thing happened. 

I then went to transfer my sims into another save game, however the sims are not adding to my gallery/showing up in my gallery even after I click 'save household to gallery'. So I am unable to put the sims into another game to see if it is an issue with the game file. I wonder if you can help with both of my problems?

Thanks.

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    When you save a Sim they are saved to your local library not the online gallery.

  • Hi, @jpkarlsen 

    Thank you so much, I don't have any mods on my game - I only have CC. How do I check if my CC needs updating?

    Also, I wasn't trying to save the household to the online gallery. I was trying to save it to my local library however it wasn't even showing up on my local library. Do you know how to fix this?

    Thanks

    To test your CC just follow the instructions I posted.

    Since you use CC remember to tick off include CC when you look in your library.

  • Hi, @jpkarlsen 

    I have tried your suggestions and unfortunately I was still experiencing the problem so they didn't work.
    I have now deleted all my CC which has solved my issue of being able to add a family to the gallery.

    However, I am still experiencing the problem with my 'romantic' interaction when playing that save file. I added the same sims into a new save file and it still didn't work, with the romantic option not showing up. So I assumed it is an issue with the sims instead of the save file. No CC was used and I have no CC downloaded anymore. 

    To carry on playing the game, I ended up making a new save file with completely new sims. The romantic interaction is showing up in this game however there are other glitches now appearing. My sim cannot eat as whenever I click on food only the 'clean up' option appears. Moreover, it isn't even letting me cook food.

    Thanks so much for your help!
