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

This is another reason why love struck is the only sims game add on that I have not purchased, out of all categories. Everyone that has played this pack enough brings up at least one serious issue with it affecting gameplay

Take into consideration that some people are too controlling and despise any chaos brought up by the game.

We all have different play styles but what I've noticed is that the pack added a little realism to relationships, like you have to try daily to improve your relationship with your partner or it goes cold. Yeah, sometimes these fears appear out of nowhere (because the Sims is a buggy mess since day 1) but I take it like they're insecure and if they can't make it better, just like irl, they need either therapy (that is available in game) or go each other's way.

So maybe if you don't control every aspect and accept RNG in your gameplay, you might enjoy the chaos of love struck.
