Hello, I'm playing 3 households now. My A female sim has hopeless romantic trait and she never refuse any flirty action from other sims even though she is in love with my B male sim and C Flirty male sim. These B and C male sims don't know each other.
C male sim discovers that A female sim being flirty with other male sims at party and C male sim gets upset. C male sim also is being flirty with other female sims but haven't been found by A. He is brainy.
B male sim discovers that A female sim is being flirty with Rich Striker at Bistro Restaurant and B male sim gets upset. B male sim doesn't have any flirty or hopeless Romantic traits.
So now it looks like A female hopeless romantic sim is being more flirty often with other male sims than C flirty male sim does. So is 'hopeless romantic' the same trait as 'flirty'? I really get confused with these 2 traits. Is there anyone can explain the different point of these 2 traits? Thank you.
She gives flowers to every man, hugs every man amorously.

Thank you but I feel they 're still the same traits.
To me hopeless romantic is a sim that wants a more steady relationship, they like romance and love.
Flirty seems to be more like does it with anyone, but yeah they are somewhat similar.
To me, they are almost same.
flirty sims are good at romantic interactions, but aren't necessarily looking for one person, so much as they like acting or just naturally act in a flirty manner.
They are similar, but I tend to notice the ai related to the traits are slightly different in regards to how they socialize.
They're very similar in most circumstances, although I think of flirts as more likely to initiate (and be received well by others) and to flirt just for the fun of it, and hopeless romantics as more likely to be receptive to romantic interactions and to be goal-oriented in their flirting—like others have posted, they're specifically trying to build a relationship with their advances.
But the biggest distinction is when you try to build a Heartbreaker sim, either with the LTW or just for your own storytelling purposes. A flirt will be disappointed that a relationship "didn't work out," even if you decided to unilaterally end it, and be ready to get back out there for more. A hopeless romantic, on the other hand, will be devastated after a breakup. They mope, roll sappy wishes, and pine for true love... basically everything but sitting on the couch watching rom-coms with a tub of Ben & Jerry's.
I really wish my female sim is like what you mentioned but unluckily, she made her 2 romantic interests got upset very often. Even she flirts to other married men in front of her romantic interests and he argued with her. If she really wish to get a beautiful romantic relationship, then why does she keep making her men upset? Also she made 2 hearts herself with hopeless romantic traits. Her traits are brave, clumsy, friendly, family oriented and hopeless romantic. Finally, I changed her hopeless romantic to other trait to stop flirting to other men but still going on. Ruben Littler from Bridgeport flirted her and she accepted it. Jeoffrey Landgraab from Sunset Valley flirted her and she accepted it. Rich Striker from Bridgeport flirted and she accepted it. Guillermo Ichtaca from Isla Paradiso flirted her and she accepted it as well. Also one of her romantic intersts is Rubisel Ichtaca, brother of Guilermo Ichtaca. All of this actions happened in a park. Her romantic interest was looking at this all and got really upset. Of course, I read everything about this hopelessly romantic trait on sims wiki but it's hard to believe when I see what my female sim is doing with men sims.
My hopeless romantic sim made 2 romantic interests with her free will. I really wish she wants for the one and only but she flirts to every men like a flirty sim.
1. With Jeoffry Landgrab: His traits are largely compatible with your sims as he is also Family orientated and a hopeless romantic. As a bonus he is charismatic, so he might be flirting because of attraction and she is accepting because of charisma and compatibility.
2. Ruben Littler is flirty which would be helping him flirt successfuly with your sim
3. Rich striker is also family orientated and may be flirting due to trait compatability
4. Guillermo Ichtaca is also family orientated, same as above
5. Romantic interest isn't a committed level of relationship meaning that it will not stop your sim from looking for other relationships. You are going to want to be boy/girl friend or higher for your sim to register that flirting with other sims is cheating. If you do that she should stop accepting advances as often.
You are basically having issues because other sims are attracted to yours and she hasn't committed herself to anything yet making her open to advances. (Because she is still searching for "the one")
Hope this helps
I'm just playing it now and my flirty male sim wants to move in with her. So ok I will see what will happen in the near future. But long time ago, I had other hopeless romantic woman sim and married with my other man sim. She also accepted all flowers and flirting from other men sims as well after marriage. Of course, the relationship bar was fully filled with her husband. I had to change her trait to others, then she stopped to flirt to everyone.
The trait is great to have on non played sims in town to add drama but if your sim wife has it you might as well prepare to constantly be at each others throats.Your sim will accuse of cheating lose relations hold a grudge and eventually kills your relationship.
I like unflirty trait and add it to created sims I may plan on pursuing.
Am assuming you might be like me and enjoy working towards the faithful and eventually eternally faithful moodlet.

Thank you so much for the explanation about that. As a non English simmer, I would learn the English term in the wrong way without your help. Yes I like unflirty trait too.
I love your Connor Frio. He looks like a real journalist.
I used to confuse these traits too. Now I can briefly say a flirty sim usually makes a seductive womanizer/femme fatale when a hopeless romantic will be a loving faithful spouse.
B male sim in green jacket is flirting with A female sim in a black hat and she is still accepting B male sim's behavior although she is now a real girlfriend of C flirty male sim in public. Luckily, her boyfriend(C flirty male) was talking with my male sim(Laney's housemate) in other room. You will see a green plumbob over my sim's head.
A few minutes later, B male sim got a phone from someone. Her boyfriend(C male sim in medical uniform) came to her and started to be flirty with her.
And B male sim discovered she is being flirty with another man. He got hurt.
C male sim showed up he is her boyfriend on his bubble. And B male sim got hurt again. I really worried about B male sim's status. So I changed the active household to B male sim.
The relationship bar was fully filled with her but it's half way down from seeing at the party, and..
It's like a breakup. C male sim was just acquaintance to him in usual but now disliked. Because he woohooed with A female sim many times like a serious relationship. He just hasn't asked her to be his girlfriend. So she was his actual girlfriend in his mind.
I wonder why she accepts B male sim's flirty actions after being a real girlfriend of C male sim. It confuses me her hopeless romantic trait. She actually, popped up her wishes like she wants to woohoo with him when she stays with B male sim, and she wants to woohoo with him when she stays with C male sim. Is that hopeless romantic doing or my A female sim is not normal?
At the party, Adeline flirted with other guest male sim again in front of her boyfriend. A few mins later, I heard, C male sim's shouting at the front door.
Oh my....I couldn't believe it's possible to announce 'breakup' with his free will... with EA story progression.
After party, I activated her.
Broken heart shows it will stay for 2 days. It proves he declared to breakup with her at my party.
This is flirty male sim's relationship panel. He has never made any other heart with other sims in inactive status over a month in sim time.
Their relationship was fully filled when I moved Adeline into her boyfriend's house. Now the relationship bar is like a stranger.
Finally, I changed Adeline's trait, hopeless romantic to easily impressed. I want her to go back to her boyfriend. He is a nice guy.
The C male sim is Matthew Hamming from Bridgeport. I edited his face in CAS long time ago.
Now I'm playing with her sister, Laney sim and this girl is worse than Adeline. haha... because she made 5 hearts with free will so far from inappropriate trait. She doesn't have flirty or hopeless romantic traits.
Her story is finished now.
