[LS] Lovestruck couples spawning on lots and immediately leaving

My sim was at the park and the majority of sims who were spawning were lovestuck npc couples. These couples would spawn, sit/stand and do nothing and then leave and then a new couple would  spawn and do the same thing. This happens every few seconds. It doesn't give a seamless experience when playing.  You can test this by going to any community lots where lovestruck couples spawn such as parks.

    I noticed this too (no mods or cc, playing on computer) but it seems to be only certain lots. In the Willow Creek Park they arrived and left as soon as the romantic action seemed to be initiated but in Oasis Springs, couples were occupying benches like they did pre patch.

    Worse, these couples have also invaded Selvadora. 😅 My Sim went on a vacation there for a couple days and as soon as he visited the park lot, several couples he knows suddenly showed up out of no where, sat at a picnic table for about 2 seconds and then got up and disappeared, then another couple would appear, etc. etc. At one point there were 3 couples he knew from back home and one couple of strangers coming and going from the park for no reason. They weren't cooking or eating, or even talking that much to their partners. They looked lost and not knowing what to do. 

    One couple also appeared at the baths while he was traipsing through the jungle. He could talk to them, but they didn't do anything other than wander around (they didn't swim, even when he did), and it was a bit annoying how the ones he knew kept appearing when there was no reason for them to be in a vacation world in the first place. 

    I would rather see them go back to stargazing at a table or sitting on a bench being cute than this weird chaos that seems to be happening with them now. It's like they can't stay still and they just come and go for no logical reason. 

    Personally, I never though the lovestruck couples sitting on benches were that much of a problem that needed fixing. 🤷‍♀️

    The situations are implemented in a way where the schedule strictness allows no overlap, so couples initiated arrivals and then immediately leave if the schedule system isn't being in line. To fix this is easy, just adding <E n="shift_strictness">OVERLAP</E> in the situation scheduling works and doesn't spam couples and allows arriving couples to stay their intended 3 hours. Hope this gets fixed soon!
