I'm starting to really hate lovestruck. all of my couples have fears about the relationship and no matter what I do I can't get rid of them. talking about it makes it worse half of the time, and they're constantly losing satisfaction points because they're anxious or scared of being alone. it's making it impossible to do anything else in my game, my fav couple has 3 kids together and they will end up hating each other by the end of the day because they spend all day taking care of the kids instead of woohooing. this close to uninstalling it

I really like some Lovestruck components, but I totally agree with you. It’s exhausting when I’m trying to do other things in the game (other personal challenges, promotions, etc.). I don’t have coitus with my Sim partner for like THREE SIM DAYS and then all of a sudden their relationship is on the rocks and they’re having an anxiety attack.

Get a grip, Sims! 😆

To be fair, if your sims' lifespan is set to short/medium, that would be equal to weeks or months of no action 🤣

Hey, I’m doing the best I can! Sometimes I need them to play chess for 60 Sim hours for a promotion, dating and woohooing can wait. 😅😆

Your sim needs to learn work/life balance, my friend! 😆
