Romantic Relationships decay/become negative fast with no interaction
I am playing with the new expansion pack Lovestruck. My sim started seeing another sim as a partner. Every time I do a romantic social, the romance bar will go up, then start depleting so fast it's like they just started a romantic relationship. This prevents my sim from proposing marriage to the partner sim. This is a game breaking bug, for I can't seem to get romance up even when I'm following the date activities. Plus, the partner sims keeps extending the date even with an almost nothing romance bar.

Romance bar goes down very fast
Romantic satisfaction decays from very satisfied to unsatisfied very fast.
Romantic satisfaction decays from very satisfied to unsatisfied very fast for played Sims while playing another family
I am unsure if anyone else has this problem, but when my Sim flirts with her partner, their love meter goes red even though they are both satisfied, and it makes them happy, but it just reacts negatively on the heart meter. It might be associated with lovestruck.
You are exactly right about that. I was working to troubleshoot an issue I needed to report and had to go into two of my rotational households to try and gather some additional information and they were both wrecked!!!! I am talking perfect relationships, no jealousy or squabbles. Both couples just madly in love with each other. Usually always four wonderful sentiments regarding each other and deeply in love. Not anymore. The complete disregard for the work we put into our households just floors me. If it can't be figured out or fixed I don't see why a complete decay block couldn't not be implemented across all played households when they are not the active household.
Expecting me to go in and fix their relationships and deal with the lost sentiments and deal with the fears that have popped up is too time consuming and unacceptable. It is not like I have a single household. I have many. My time is valuable and we have to work to have the money to pay to play this game and playing a game should be fun and instead I find myself more furious the deeper I get into playing because I come across more and more stuff that shouldn't still be sitting unresolved after so long.
So, I am going to withdraw my pre-order purchase of the fairy pack and will not spend another dime on this franchise until problems are being attended to and communicated about in a timely manner, especially on an issue that HUGELY impacts our games.
These two were complete strangers and she ran into him while he was working. I think he literally quite his job and walked out and then very quickly he went right back in and proposed to her. They never ever kissed. I have never seen such a thing in my sim life. And they have been together ever since and sickeningly happy and in love. Now that is lost and "I" have to try and get them back to where they were. But why? I have other households I am working on and this is just going to happen again and again and my time is going to be wasted fixing mess after mess.
Sorry for the rant but I was trying to troubleshoot something and ran into this right and left and finding these two this way just killed me.
So there's been no response from the team on this after nearly a year. I guess they're not planning on giving a fix or workaround for this issue. Meanwhile, Lovestruck continues being nearly unplayable for rotational players because for some reason Romantic Satisfaction is designed to decay even for couples in which both sins are inactive, which makes absolutely no sense. I recommend rotational players NOT to buy this pack unless you want to spend 70% of your time fixing relationships and dealing with bogus moodlets and fears as a result.
The only thing I could do for a temporary fix is to download " Lumpinou [MOD] Lovestruck: Romantic Satisfaction: No Time Decay" for a temporary fix. This is not a permanent fix as normally if you don't speak over time you will drift apart. Its thought the best for those that already have bought Lovestruck and don't want to constantly cheat your relationship levels back up while they are away at work.
I have the issue to, my sims are marrid, have a baby and one on the way, and the romance bar drops to red. They had woohoo just a sekend a go, and are lev 4 in romance. (sorry for spelling, not English)
still an issue. relationship bar decays in seconds so fast, literally i can track with my eyes. a temporary solution: first I removed all of my sims' fears with fear be gone potions. afterwards i unclicked the option to show wants and fears in the game options. for now the bar does not deplete. i hope it stays like this.
This is still an issue apparently. I login and they just have no romantic bar every time, with any sim. They’ll leave the save 100% I reload come back in and they’re back down to 0%. So annoying. It’s really starting to bug me and I may ask for a refund lol. I don’t even use mods??
OK, I love the lovestruck expansion pack. I love it for the cuddling in bed, all the new physical intimacy, the Create-A-Date feature and Cupid’s Corner. but something I really hate about the pack is the romantic satisfaction. is there a way to disable this in the settings? because everytime i leave a household and go to a new one, when I come back, the relationship satisfaction is “very unsatisfied” SIMS PLEASEE FIX THIS
It has been a year and I still have this bug in my game, it is frustrating as the romance bar keeps going down to -1100 (ui extention cheats) and it is frustrating not being able to do anything other then trying to repair the romance bar. even if I cheat it to 100 it is in the red again in no time.
