[S] [RL] 'Significant Other' Resolution not fulfilled by Kissing Frog
Issue Description:
When a Sim sets their New Year's resolution to "Find a Significant Other" (from the Seasons pack), the resolution does not complete when the Sim:
- Kisses a frog (turning it into a prince/princess with the Royalty & Legacy pack), o
The resolution remains incomplete despite the Sim now being in a committed romantic relationship. The resolution only appears to recognize traditional "Ask to be Girlfriend/Boyfriend" interactions as valid relationship starts.
Expected Behavior:
The "Find a Significant Other" resolution should be fulfilled whenever a Sim enters any form of committed romantic relationship, regardless of how that relationship was initiated. This should include:
- Accepting a proposal (becoming engaged)
- Turning a frog into a romantic partner (fairy tale "frog kiss" scenario)
- Asking to be girlfriend/boyfriend
The resolution's condition should check the Sim's relationship status (In a Relationship / Engaged / Married) rather than a specific interaction type.
Steps to Reproduce:
- During New Year's Eve (or by setting a holiday with the "Make a Resolution" tradition), select "Find a Significant Other" as one of the Sim's resolutions .
- Method A (Frog Kissing):
- Have the Sim find and kiss a frog (from Royalty & Legacy pack).
- The frog transforms into a romantic partner, and the Sim is now in a relationship.
- Method B (Engagement):
- Have the Sim build a romantic relationship with another Sim.
- Propose and have the Sim accept the engagement.
- Check the resolution status after both methods.
Actual Result:
After both scenarios—kissing a frog to create a romantic partner,—the "Find a Significant Other" resolution remains incomplete. The game does not recognize these as valid relationship initiations for resolution purposes.
Additional Notes:
- The "Find a Significant Other"" resolution is part of the Seasons New Year's resolution system. Resolutions are tracked like aspirations and can be viewed in the Simology pane .
- This appears to be a cross-pack compatibility issue between Seasons and Royalty & Legacy. The resolution system only checks for the "Ask to be Girlfriend/Boyfriend" interaction, rather than monitoring the Sim's relationship status directly.
- The frog-kissing mechanic is a feature of the Royalty & Legacy pack, creating spontaneous romantic partners. This is similar to other fairy tale and fantasy content in that pack.
- If the Sim later gets married, the resolution still will not complete because it failed to trigger at the relationship initiation step.
- The resolution is intended to be fulfilled automatically once the condition is met—the player does not need to manually mark it as complete .
Impact:
Moderate. Players who prefer alternative romantic storylines (fairy tale frog princes, sudden engagements, or arranged marriages) cannot complete this resolution through those means. They are forced to use the standard "Ask to be Girlfriend/Boyfriend" interaction, which limits roleplaying options and feels inconsistent with the game's intended flexibility. This is especially frustrating for legacy or royalty-themed gameplay where engagements and magical transformations are central to storytelling.
