Bought the lovestruck expansion in the last month and my sims are happily married and within 2 days went to no romance. I tried a new game and I cannot get romance to stay up and regular goes down wa...
Ideas
As I unfortunately expected, the huge issue of Romantic Satisfaction decay in inactive couples - reported in Romantic Relationships decay/become negative fast with no interaction | EA Forums - 4947168 - was NOT fixed.
Basically, if you play a couple who are soulmates, both Very Satisfied, Wholesome dynamic, full friendship and relationship bars, no Fear of Being Alone, no negative sentiments, no negative traits, etc., and then rotate to another household for awhile (at least an in-game week or two), then return to the first household, their Romantic Satisfaction will now be Very Unsatisfied. This happens 100% of the time in my experience with numerous couples.
This completely ruins Lovestruck gameplay for established couples in rotational play.
Potential fixes I can think of:
- Ideally, simply prevent RS decay for couples in which both sims are inactive
- If this somehow isn't possible, options could potentially include a reward trait that prevents RS decay for that sim, or some kind of relationship option for this
- If absolutely nothing else is possible, let us simply turn off Romantic Satisfaction (this is not ideal but definitely better than the current situation)
