Hey, if you can't get back into platinum aspiration after ending up with a Grilled Cheese Sim, you are in big trouble! It helps that GC aspiration can make grilled cheese any time of day.  Or did you mean to *intentionally* turn the Romance Sims into Grilled Cheese Sims?  Mmmmaybe.  |

I did that intentionally for giggles the first time. To Daniel Pleasant. Just because.

It's harder to get their aspiration up though the older they are. I tried it with Mortimer, and it seemed like it took forever to get him high enough to use the machine again to turn him back into his old knowledge self.

If they're ugly, why did you make them romance sims?
For a laugh, obviously. When you're designing a really ugly sim in CAS, making it a Romance adds a whole new layer to the hilarity. Anyway, there are sound psychological reasons why ugly characters should act like sluts (low self-esteem, wanting reassurance that they're not really that bad, etc.) There are no reasons why everyone else should find them attractive. |

I like my Romance Sims, they make some of the better parents and are easy to keep Platinum in committed relationships. I do have a bunch of randy Romance sims in one of my neighbourhoods, but they fill their wants with each other. They serve their purpose and the swooning doesn't bother me unless it's a wonderfully devoted spouse swooning over one while their spouse is about to caress them... Suppose the addition of Nightlife won't hurt too much because I use friendly woohoo so they're just friends  |

For a few minutes, I thought that the swooning over romance sims was fixed,but I soon found out it wasn't. I do like the heart thought bubble when they are thinking about a sim that they are attracted to. I do wish they didn't use the crush/love sound along with it. It worries me--I go around trying to find the culprut--but it was only a thought and it is usually gone by the time you figure it out. It's cool because you can see the attraction a husband has for his wife. Almost makes up for the fact that he will then turn around and whistle at another romance sim. I think that they should whistle at anyone they are attracted to, or less they are in a commited relationship; in which case, only thier partner. They should never whistle at someone they are repelled by--romance sim or not.

uh-huh I agree with ALL of the above comments... *Hands Pescado some raw meat* Thinking goes faster on a full stomach, eh, Pes???  I would really like a reversed affect too! It does make more sense that the Romance sims are the ones swooning over other sims. Also it would be cool if you could make a version that checks wether a sim is in a "commited" relationship or not, for those who would still like their single sims to swoon over romance sims.... |

Last night my Sim was swooning over her father-in-law as the Reaper was handing him a Mai Tai. It was a little disturbing, especially with her daughter falling to pieces right next to her.

I'm a relatively new player to TS2 and, since I really like my sims, have only had one sim die (from old age) and become a ghost. (She's a pain since I didn't know not to delete her bed, so she regularly wakes up the household.)
I like to pair up romance sims and turn off jealousy on their lots (easier that way and then they don't mess up the lives of knowledge/wealth/family sims), but I admit I was startled when the sim ghost (she was a romance sim) was seen by her former lover (also a romance sim) and he whistled at her... Nevermind that she's dead, nevermind that she's an elder as a ghost... I suppose it's better than him wetting his pants, but it does seem a bit macabre... on the other hand, the male sim in question successfully finished a "have thirty lovers" lifetime want, so whistling at a ghost probably isn't out of character.

You know, now that they have this whole chemistry thing... is the swooning really necessary? I mean, I get that the sims of the appropriate preference think the Romance sim is hot, but here we have this nifty little system for actually identifying what a given sim actually thinks is hot. And yet they still swoon over Major Turn-Off himself, which really doesn't make any sense.
Admittedly, the only real reason I don't like it is because the Attraction action tends to muck up queued actions, but that's mostly tolerable. Except, well, when you're playing one house with six romance sims (for no good reason) and one of them accidentally gets turned gay and spends the rest of her entire existence swooning about her five housemates...
Maybe I'll introduce her to the all-consuming Importance of Grilled Cheese.

I agree, with the introduction of Chemistry the swooning over Romance sims has lost even the little grain of sense and point it had. It should be made extinct like the dinosaur it is. |

This is a deliberate *bump* of this old thread because today the swooning has officially GOT ON MY NERVES. OK. It's a wedding. Between two people who love each other very much - and are monogamous. They've invited all their friends. (One of the guys is a Popularity sim, so he has a lot of friends). Some of their friends are Romance sims. So what are the happy couple doing? SWOONING OVER THEIR ROMANCE SIM FRIENDS! AAARRRGHHH!!!I had bloody Free Will off and everything, but swooning over Romance sims is like sodding "Smells Yummy" - it happens autonomously and there's nothing you can do to stop it. And then as well as the old Sims 2 swooning, Nightlife has added its delightful "Attraction" thought bubbles with hearts and/or Xs floating around. At one point I was almost ripping my hair out because I was trying to set up a shot of the happy couple kissing while their friends cheered them on, and it was almost impossible to take a photo without 101 stupid thought bubbles of one kind or another. And the thought bubbles are broken, and stack - so a single sim can have two bubbles on top of each other, or even three. Please, please, please. Anyone who is More Awesome Than I. Make a hack to stop this. PLEASE! |

The swooning really got on my nerves badly yesterday -- one sim broke up with her romance sim husband, and immediately afterward started swooning, even though the relationship was like -50/-50. It looked really stupid.

Me too. Here's a lovely shot of a groom swooning over one of the bridesmaids:  Personally, I smack my new husband silly if he did that. |

Bump. I third (quadruple? whatever) this request. I had an ugly, ugly zombie that my happily engaged male sim kept swooning over. Meh.

I have (or had, I'll have to check and see if it survived) a hack that was never released that killed the swooning altogether. I'd like to make it use the new attraction system, but I could release (or quickly redo) the version that completely stops it for the time being. Keep an eye on the New Crap forum.

I knew there was a reason why I liked (both of you) so much. Thank you TJ, that swooning is just about the silliest animation there is, and that's saying something.
