Same as others, the relationship decays unrealistically quickly. My legacy save founders have been unhappy and wanting a divorce after just a few days. It has gotten to the point where if I don't do some significant romantic interaction everyday. This has only been since I got lovestruck. I play a lot of family and legacy gameplay and this has made the game laborsome instead of fun.

Only mod I play with is UI Cheats but even without mods I run into this problem. - lucombre3 days agoSeasoned Ace
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)

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

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.

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

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.
+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 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.

Same here, since getting Lovestruck, from launch. PC, no mods.

Also noticed that after buying lovestruck that indeed the decay is much faster than it used to be,
