Let's see now, how does that expression go again? Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer? :)

This is the most strange to receive invitations to date from the enemy.

Yes, I'm not sure what the dev's were thinking with this whole "date" thing. What's strange is that if my sim asks someone on a "Date" and they are not romantically involved with anyone it says I can't. I have to "invite out". Yet an active and unattached sim gets invited on "dates" all the time from married Sims, Sims my sim barely knows, co-workers..etc. I suppose it's really just being "invited out" but that's what it should say instead of "date". But we well know the rules for NA Sims don't apply to actives.

Also, it took me quite some time to learn to ignore all those silly letters Sims get from every sim, married or not, flirting with my active Sims. For a game that generally has that 1950's "wholesome" vibe it's really more like the "free-love" 1960's hippie culture. LOL:-o

That's because of the default tuning range to get love letters, gifts and date calls is a minimum relationship of -10 and a max of 50.

<kAttractionLTRThresholds value="-10, 50">
<!--Range: -100.0 - 100.0 Description: LTR range for an attraction gift/love letter to be sent from an NPC to a selectable sim, [0] is the minimum value needed to consider it, [1] is the LTR where it hits the max value specified by kAttractionGiftLetterMaxChancePerDay-->

The autonomous "Dance Together" interaction is another weird one, as a Sim who has been romantically betrayed by their partner will refuse to dance with their betrayer. Yet, The Altos and Landgraabs may try to dance together and not refuse the interaction despite being very bitter enemies. Funny to watch, but very inconsistent indeed.

I've not had any Sim refuse to dance together. I suppose I've not tried to have any Sims dance with exes or enemies, nor have I noticed if other Sims who were dancing together were enemies. Now I'm curious to see this refusal. I will have to attempt the interaction with an ex or two. As for townie enemies dancing together, the rules we have as players never seem to apply to the the town folk. :huh:

I think that the "Betrayed" moodlet has to be in effect.

Ahhh yes, I suppose that would do it.

What always makes me really scratch my head is to see two Sims in a relationship, who do not have any negative moodlets and their liking gate is over 85%, refuse to be affectionate to one another, not even basic things like amorous hugs or holding hands. It seems to happen at random sometimes.
I suppose this is realistic, as none of us are always in the mood for such things, but it's odd when there seems to be no apparent reason. I find this can happen at any time, but generally I see this when I've left one sim family to play another in that town. I'm assuming there was some flirting with another that I missed while away, but there is nothing showing me this occurred so it's strange.

They do seem to have a memory of things that we can have no clue about. Like when they walk off to pick up a toddler and you don't show anything in their action queue, but you do in the Toddler's. I've even had a few Sims with nothing in their queue, ignore my request to do something and they get into the hot tub. I've had to even reset a sim or two with Debug to get them to get out!

Hi, which category is this in to disable the love letters and date calls? I get tired of my married and /or engaged sims getting date calls.

I'd like to know this as well. I went into my game to look so I could help you Sonshine and also so I could do this myself and I couldn't find anything regarding this, but I'd read somewhere it can be done. :huh:

Thanks for trying John! Igazor? Sittingbear? Anybody else know the full path of how to stop those love letters and date calls?
