Unpredictable (romantic) feelings

Hello fellow simmers,
I've seen many posts talking about a trait system that would make our sims feel more unique. I think this uniqueness could be achieved with random emotions as well. How about having a sim that falls for another sim for no apparent reason and stays in love with this sim forever (and does not fall for any other sim ever again), or a sim that is in a committed relationship but fails to develop romantic feelings for his/her partner, other sims having multiple loves etc. Obviously, traits could increase chances of that happening or not (faithful, player etc.) but these emotions should still be unpredictable. And it could work with other relationships as well (immediately liking one sim would raise the friendship bar, there would be sims your sim will never like and so on.

no thankyou
goodluck on the idea, though!

I am interested to hear other opinions on the matter, so thanks for the feedback @CyrusTheLoser. I would love to hear why you don't like it. Even for me, it would probably ruin some of the plans for certain sims, but all in all I think it would make things more interesting.
The idea just kind of bought to mind the image of my sim falling madly in love with the hideous mailwoman and never being able to love anyone else
It might be an interesting idea for those who like to go with the flow all the time on these sort of things but I like to have a little control in respect to relationships, at least most of the time

Exactly, because sims are too predictable and they all respond in the same way (being tense once in a while doesn't change anything). Not wanting children, or really wishing them is a great example of spicing things up. Most sims could still be ordinary and predictable, but it would be nice if some sims were special.
I know it's up to the player to create the stories, but sims' emotions, reactions and wishes often don't match those stories.
Great idea @ashaife . I would prefer to turn it off in some situations, probably.
Anyhow, I think it´s time for a pack that enhances romantic relationships now.
