I finally bit the bullet and attempted a relationship with another player’s sim. They’re to the point now where they’re able to propose, which would normally be great. However:
1. From looking at the other player’s house, there is another sim in the house who very well may already be in a relationship with my sim’s love interest. Since I can’t see the interest’s status, I have no way to know.
2. I can’t tell if the other player would prefer to give me their sim or take mine. If they want to take mine, I don’t have any way of being able to tell if they have an open slot to accept my sim.
3. I can’t communicate with this player to sort any of this out, because the only way to message them would be a public broadcast at a party. And that’s assuming they even see the message or respond.
So, yeah. A better system in-game for initiating relationships with other players would be wonderful to see as part of a future update.
