My Sim has had a couple romantic interests, casual dates, but NEVER "proposed to go steady." She keeps getting the naughty reputation and it is saying she cheated. Is this like this for everyone? If so, it doesn't REALLY make sense how she could cheat...
I like the reputation IDEA, I just hope there's something soon to alter to it like celebrity. lol.

Agree. To get them to be romantic interests, the sim would of had to confess attraction, kissed or even just flirted with another sim. Anything that a sim does to another sim that is romantic, then it is considered cheating if the sim is dating another sim.
Get it?
Only when you have THE talk. It just irks me because it's always been that way. You can't have your Sim go on a few dates, get to know several people and see which one you like best. It's always basically designed to stick with one person or go through a break up and have them ****** off for days because of negative moodlets.
To me, even in real life, you should only be with one person. Sims may not be dating, just talking but still. If you go on dates with different sims, thats different. If you kiss each one on each date and are using romantic interactions its cheating and your considered a player.
:thumbup:
You better get that Lifetime Reward that makes people not care what your sim does.
I like having my young adult date several sims before choosing the one. I just won't make anyone serious until I'm ready to choose one for them.
I dislike the way that Generations is handling the romantic reputation in this ep.
The no jealousy is also broken. I tested it earlier, and even between 3 sims with no jealousy lifetime award, the sim got a 'betrayed' moodlet, which defeats the purpose of the no jealousy award that states a sim with this trait will never have to deal with the negative affects of jealousy. ORLY? LOL.
The No Jealousy is broken only the first time. Once you confess to cheating, you can woohoo all over town and the No Jealousy works again.
At least for me. Still dont like it. :P
Strange. Will have to try it. Thanks for the tip.
You can't directly relate the Sims to real life in every aspect. When you wanna get dressed in the morning, you don't just spin around in a circle do you? EA may have over-did the reputation thing, just like they did with the celebrity status, but every since base game if you had several romantic interests you could get caught cheating. You just weren't technically a "Cheater" like in Generations.

Also, again, the Sims isn't exactly like real life. There isn't really an option to tell one of your girlfriends that she's not the only one, but her be okay with it etc. If you were to 'Confess Attraction' for one girl to another girl in the Sims, she'd get angry with you because in the game it's considered cheating.
To make a romantic interest go away, you click on that sim, click on mean, and there will be an option to "just be friends"; it makes the romantic interest thing go away. So, feel free to wine and dine that other sim, woohoo with them until the sun comes up, and then tell them you "just want to be friends"
I discovered this after not having very much success in getting sims to sleep with my sim after she had like, 6 betrayals on her reputation, so I thought maybe I had to break up with them even though I wasn't technically in an exclusive relationship with them.
The sims 3 is loosely based on real life though. To me, the way the game has implemented the romantic rep is silly and restrictive and poorly done. It takes away from the sandbox style of gameplay many gamers prefer. *I* want to decide my own sim's story. *I* want to decide what is cheating and what is not. The romantic rep, controls sims too much and restricts gameplay and was poorly tested to boot, as anyone who played it would see that it breaks no jealousy.
I know there are people who like this feature. I for one dislike it. It was poorly designed and implemented and is too judgemental for my tastes.
I know its not exactly like real life. But this isn't very fun for some of us either. Its boring and punitive=-)
You shouldn't need to break up with romantic interests. They are romantic interests, nothing more. Whats to break up?
Yes totally agree with you. It just wasn't thought out and executed well. I don't hate it, I actually like the idea of reputations especially the eternally faithful and testing the waters or whatever it's called. But the way EA decides what is cheating and what isn't is what I don't like about it. Guess it's not a win win for everyone because their definition of cheating will be different from different players. And the way your sim automatically gets accused of cheating where you can't even cancel the interaction is annoying.
If they are not in a commited relationship with another Sim, they should have a different rep. I thought there was a "Player" rep in the game, but I might be mistaken. That would be appropriate. I would love it if they had a "Don Lothario" rep.
