I wondered where to put this as no mod-discussion here(or I am blind) . But belongs to latest update, so here I go. In case you haven't seen the thread over at official forum, HERE about too many love couples on date spawning to ALL venues, making the venue itself either having little or no sims to do what they are supposed to do, or spawning in places they should not (temple and Selvadoradan jungle.. haven't tested Batuu yet). 2 mods currently to resgue if you can//will use mods. HERE OR HERE (Down in Simsland and LittleMsSam) Still problems with Henford Pub, tho. |

Thank you! That was one of my reasons for holding off on getting the pack (still waiting on a couple other issues). I'm bookmarking those mods now in case I get the pack though.

I can definitely relate to what GlacierSnow says. I haven't bought Lovestruk yet because I fear it will split all my pairs for random reasons and significantly change the whole game structure. (and I love thepancake1 and MizoreYukii Bed Cuddle Mod which unfortunately doesn't work with Lovestruck) Thanks for sharing these mod ellupelluellu They look absolutely interesting. How are your experiences with Lovestruck? Is it something you would recommend? NB: I also love to see a Sims Sessions stage Mod on down-in-simsland's website. |

MonaSolstraale , I do like it. A lot, actually  But then again my opinions very often belong to very minority ( I do love Batuu , for example  ) For the first part I do not see how it would do it. I have not seen any other couples than my own or premades. I a a micromanager and had the same worry, but for no reason. As for so far I have not have any random TOTO, if not counted the new premades. I may be wrong tho,and big bomb drops soon.. but so far not a single worrisome thing in that area. the second part, game structure, depends on mods and other things, cannot say anything , but mine is fine. I had very little broken mods chaos , and I use lots of mods, just that I did not use many of the ones what broke. I do not use either of mods you mentioned. I hope those will be updated soon I love the new animations to bits...

ellupelluellu Thank you for your reply. It calms me down a bit 😊 My concerns have mainly grown out of my experiences with story progression. I have opted out of it in the game settings, but I have recently tested some of the settings in my test game. During one Sims week, every neighborhood was teeming with babies, adopted children, horses, dogs, and cats. Many couples had divorced and entered into new relationships with partners they did not harmonize with, not to say in direct disharmony. My test sims were constantly in mourning over the death of some random townie that I had no idea they knew 🙄 Hence my distrust of Lovestruck, even though I'm actually attracted to it. Regarding Batuu, I've only played it a little bit, but I definitely don't hate it. I just can't reach all the way around. NB: I wrote to SnuffyBucket about creating a header for Mods. I now use quite a few Mods and love getting recommendations and good advice about them.

EAxis goes a bit over with that again, huh I only use some parts of it, if any, like retirement option, and ALWAYS only for unplayed, background sims. I do love story progression in some saves, but then I use the one from MCCC , because I can set up every single thing to my liking in that mod. Tedious, but worth it . But then too, only for non played sims. |

ellupelluellu neighborhood stories, that's exactly what I mean 😅 I also use MCCC and made some bad mistakes until I got my settings under control.

Since we're getting your impressions of Lovestruck ellupelluellu, how hard is it to maintain high romantic satisfaction for a couple you are actively playing? And does it go down a lot autonomously for couples you aren't playing actively (while playing a different household)? If I leave a couple with high romantic satisfaction and go play with a different household for a while, am I likely to come back and find the first couple now are very unsatisfied? And have you seen any mods to turn the system off? The romantic satisfaction system is one of my bigger worries. I'd want to use it when playing just for fun, but I'd like to turn it off while shooting scenes for Seventeen & Maldusk because I don't need one more thing to manage while I'm doing that. At the moment, there is a bug (or tuning issue) being reported that seems to be making satisfaction drop very rapidly, while sims are sleeping, or while one sim is at work etc. Has this been happening in your game? |

I really do not know, as I don't have that many couples just yet in my main save, and most , if any but one, still does not even have it yet (romantic satisfaction amount) . I also rotate in 1-5 days between households, so I doubt it can get very low. Honestly I forgot the thing exists, oops. Like I said all my main save couples aren't there yet , if not counting few elder married couples. And they arent focusing much about romance (I avoid it with elders, still remember my first time playing Jaques Villareal.. he married Katrina Caliente and died after woohoo at wedding night XD ) I will have my test save tho, the couple I posted at romantic pics.. they have it maxed. I was planning on testing some other stuff and may do that with other sim, so I'll see if it goes down while I play the other sim. I will let you know |

GlacierSnow , I played different sim for over a sim week, nothing changed between the other couple with full romantic happiness thingy... And about how hard its to maintain? Not hard if they do even little of these romantic things they like. (AGAIN, ONLY MY OPINION) NOTE, I did play in different world as tested other stuff, and home regions makes it so they don't show up as background. I will test out that option again And lol .. when I loaded up my couple, they were happily chatting, paused at this point , LMAO.. he must of thought to pay back the ass grabbing I posted before.  (seriously only lucky pause ) And MonaSolstraale , I forgot to tell you, auto divorce is a thing now, BUT setting has toggle and it is OFF by default (at least in my game)

GlacierSnow , I apologize tagging you one more time, but you asked this question in first place I did now play a sim week in same world my lovebirds were, saw them all the time all over the city. Maybe they simply are so much made for eachother that I really had no fear that their romantic satisfaction meter goes down as they were all over each other at background. Cannot test more until I have more couples with that deep relationship in my main save.

ellupelluellu Thanks for checking things and tagging me to let me know the results.  I'm very interested in this pack. I'd love to hear more of your impressions as you try things out.

ellupelluellu Thanks for checking things and tagging me to let me know the results. I'm very interested in this pack. I'd love to hear more of your impressions as you try things out. I feel exactly the same way. I think I'll give it a go one of these days. NB: ellupelluellu The little Mod I was referring to: The Bed Cuddle Mod is this.  It's a really cute and well made animation. It's not compatible with Lovestruck, but I assume that's because the pack adds something similar. I can recommend it to those who are not interested in Lovestruck. (Maybe I should share that in the mods thread? 😅) |

I love the pack , just hoping some more patch bugs to be fixed. Here is some of the bed cuddle.. animations change little, they whisper things, caress face and lay still.  |

ellupelluellu They also look cozy and cute 🥰 I just need to finish some pictures for a chapter. I can't relate to finishing a chapter and experimenting with new releases at the same time 😂 When that job is over, I'll buy Lovestruck and return to my test family.
