Why is the romance option gone?

After I installed a mod and cc the romance option has not been there. I've tried disabling mods and reinstalling, but it doesn't seem to be working. The cache doesn't seem to be the problem either.

    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.

  • Heya, sorry to beat a dead horse here, I am also having the same issue. My sims stopped having the romance option available in the last hour. I don't have any mods that I am aware of and use no cheats other than the fill motive and motherlode cheats. I tried resetting the game like the FAQ recommended and cleared caches as well. I don't have the option of delete localthumbcache.package. My sim has been cursed twice, once with the violence curse and another with the duelist curse. My sim has never been a skeleton and she is an adult along with her wife, they also have no familial relationship other than being married. Is there any way to trouble shoot to figure out what's wrong. I am not very computer savvy and am so frustrated. Attached a pic of my save file in case it helps.

    @KassiRican quick question, you don't have any mods, but your mods folder was recently updated, what's in there if you don't have any mods?
  • @jpkarlsen I deleted the local thumb cache and it didn't repair the issue, my comment below explains details on my sims. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide !
  • @DeanXeL Hii! Thanks for your response, no I don't have any mods. I'm not sure if the expansions count as mods? Please excuse my ignorance, I'm not to familiar with all the extras of this game

    @KassiRican no expansions don't count as mods 🙂
    If you open the mods folder (which, as I said, was recently updated), is it empty?

    @KassiRican you can remove that one too. Shouldn't make a difference I'm afraid though...
    If you save you sims in CAS to your library and then load them into a new save, do they have romance options available? Do they have romance options available with different partners?

    Either way, looks like a different issue from OP though.

    Since you do not have any mods, your question is not relevant to the topic you posted in. I recommend that you start your own topic with as much information about your situation. But first try to repair your game in Origin or EA App depending on what you use.
