No Autonomous Breakup Rotational Households

Post by puzzlezaddict » December 13th, 2022, 11:31 pm

I just wanted to add that I've had multiple sim couples break up when I wasn't playing them even with Romance: Allow set to False. I believe that at least one of the couples broke up because the wife accused the husband of cheating, and there's an in-game mechanic that breaks up sims in this situation some of the time.

For the other couple, I didn't figure it out and just fixed their relationship with MC, but he may have been flirting in public: I broke the link between SP and Woohooer so that my active sims could flirt with inactives without my needing to change sim settings all the time, and all hell broke loose. I ended up having to disable the Flirt interaction for autonomous.

you need the setting allow breakup false. In my game no one is breaking up ever.

In addition I set in whoohooer this (also link to SP enabled), so partnered sims only flirt with their partners. No mass romances take place, so no surprises :)

If this was for me, then thanks, but I already mentioned I had Romance Allow set to False, which also prevents SP from breaking up couples. And I specifically do NOT want Woohooer linked to SP for the reason I mentioned, and others.

I believe that the breakups were due to sims getting caught cheating and the other spouse subsequently ending the relationship. Since I set Accuse of Cheating to not be autonomous in Retuner, I haven't had this particular issue.

You can keep your global setting under town to disallow Romance, which means that they will not get into NEW Romances, or SP won't push steady ones to marriage etc.

In addition you create the caste for partners not allowed to break up
I made a new save of the same town and included these settings to see how things would turn out. However, Dina accused Don of cheating while I was playing him and a few days later it popped up that she was no longer interested in this relationship and that they are no longer Lovers. Can Lovers be included in the no-breakup caste? Mary-Sue and Daniel haven't broken up their marriage yet, though! :)

I don't think so, because romantic interest is not equal to go steady or be partner.

My setting is this
In Whoohooer under ROMANCE I have set ALL to partner not "any romantic"
1. Allow married sims to flirt only with their spouses:
Select: NRaas > Woohooer > Romance > Interaction Level: Married > Spouse

2. Allow sims in steady relationships to flirt only with their partner:
Select: NRaas > Woohooer > Romance > Interaction Level: Steady > Partner

3. Allow unmarried sims to flirt only with their partner:
Select: NRaas > Woohooer > Romance > Interaction Level: Romance > Partner

And "My Love" also to Partner

I also set Remove Romance On Kiss to true
- Jealousy Level on Low
- Partnering Interaction Level -> Any romantic

Under Whoohoo:
- Interaction Level to partner
-
maybe also set here jealousy level on low too


Under Storyprogression in the manual caste you created also set all
Flirt: Affair chances to ZERO
also Flirt: Cheat Discovery Chance to zero

I hope this helps :)

EDIT: If you change settings you should change the romantic interests on partnered or married sims (the families you rotate).
So they don't have more than 1.

Thanks! I'll try this for sure! I assume with "manual" caste, you mean my rotations caste that I apply to households? The new "no-breakups" caste I created is set to "automatic".

Quick question; if I disable the autonomous catching of cheating, are there any other ways the Sims can catch each other cheating? Like, is there an option to accuse another Sim of cheating manually? Like, I am considering turning catching cheating off, but it would be unrealistic if that meant sims could just cheat in front of each other without getting caught.

Sorry for the late reply. Sims can and will still get angry if they see a partner engaging in romantic interactions with another sim, and witnesses will be angry too if they're friends with the partner being cheated on. What doesn't happen, as far as I can tell, is the change to the sim's reputation that comes with being accused. Sims can also still confess to cheating if necessary.
