[LS] NPC Couples interactions overwhelming all other interactions/activities

At first the couples interactions (e.g. Watch Sky) from Lovestruck were cute, but I've begun to notice that they overwhelm everything else. Sims used to chat with each other, play basketball, use the hot springs, fabricate, etc. etc. - but now they just engage in couples interactions. If there are outdoor benches they're filled with couples watching the sky. At the Library they're kissing behind the books. It's not cute anymore, it's disruptive and annoying. Sims who aren't paired up just stand around doing nothing. It needs to be tuned down.

One lone teen in the hot spring.

Nobody reading or using the pc's at the Library

No body playing chess and chatting at the park.

Is this a bug? Maybe not, but it makes things very dull. Especially on lots where I expect lots of activity. For example: The Makers Space from Eco Living.

But in a restaurant that I placed in Mount Komorebi, only couples spawned there when I sent my sims.

Every single bench is taken by couples everywhere you go. There is impossible to find any not taken bench.

This is a big problem when visiting the pub in Henford. Simon Scott enters the pub. Sara immediately stops tending the bar in order to go watch the sky. She will do it EVERY time. The result is there's no bartender. Workaround is to delete all outside seating (benches and picnic tables). It's quite annoying.

This sequence starts at 11:31 PM when my Sim got to The Quarry Building in Grims Quarry and ends 2:00 AM - because I quit the game. The Lovestruck Couples keep just churning through. Pointless.

It would be better if just one skywatching or "make out in the library stack" couple showed up at a time. They could stay for a while - one to two hours - and then there would be a cool down before the next couple showed up.
The constant churn of couples is so annoying. Especially since they seem to prevent anyone else from showing up.
