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 way too fast now too.
Edit By Crinrict: adjusted title
The mechanic that is currently used ignores the rotational players. In case of rotational players, I think it would be better if the decay would not affect the households that are currently not played, because everyone ends up in a miserable relationship if you don't play them.
-PC
-Never mods
Also just bought this pack and am having the same issue. Romance is almost completely gone within two days which is impossible to keep up with, especially when they are not in the same household and have a day off work in between seeing each other.
Im on PC (windows) and on this device have no CC or mods and never have.
Also noticed that after buying lovestruck that indeed the decay is much faster than it used to be,
Same here, since getting Lovestruck, from launch. PC, no mods.
I get this issue, but the biggest problem is that rotational play is ruined, which is upsetting because I love rotational play.
Is there any way to freeze the romance satisfaction for households you are not currently playing in? When you return to a household after playing in another, even after just a few sim days, the couple is unsatisfied and angry with each other, because you haven’t been able to make them do romance interactions when you are playing a different household.
I have not played with mods in months as they have been breaking the game too much, and I play on PC.
This issue started when I purchased Lovestruck.
+1 to this problem, no mods, windows, relationship going down fast. problem is relationship satisfaction, it takes me a week to experience it, i’d leave one family with full satisfaction to go to another family and when i’m back to first family - they’re not satisfied and relationship started to decay. satisfaction goes down too fast, it causes relationship to decay and since there no way to prevent it (couple you’re not playing currently won’t even raise their satisfaction on their own), it’s a huge problem for rotational gameplay. i dream of slower decay or toggle for satisfaction since first days of lovestruck. i absolutely love idea of couple getting worse relationships, being unhappy with others actions, being incompatible and having troubles but when every second couple threatens divorce - life simulator turns into relationship survivor. and after lovestruck it happens to every single couple.
I have the same issue ever since I got lovestruck. I play on Xbox so no mods or cc. Playing rotationally only ends with no romance and a desire to divorce. And forget about legacy saves where the children move out of the parents house to start a family of their own.
Playing on playstation 5, no mods or cc. I'm experiencing this too. My sims relationships tanks in a couple of sim days since I bought Lovestruck
PC, no mods. Same issues as everyone else. They end up unsatisfied way too quickly, and I've had to implement a strict daily woohoo and cuddle regimen which isn't always easy to maintain. Romantic relationships with Sims in the world die incredibly fast. Keeping up romantic satisfaction is the opposite of fun, in my opinion. My Sims have more important things to do like splash in the pond.
I have the same problem, I kept doing romantic interactions but the romance goes down too fast, I thought it was because they had a bad impression (I refuse a moving proposal) but months ago even if my sims shared a bad impression, their romantic relation didn't goes down that fast.
I have no mods and I 'm on Windows
