Open Relationship Advice Needed

[Rainbow Dash]

I normally play sappy romantic, eternally faithful couples, but I am toying with the idea of exploring an open relationship between Sims, and am wondering just how well this might work. 

Has anyone here experimented with this before? Can it work without jealously (Obviously I am not going to use the jealous trait), broken relationships, hurt feelings or fights? What is the best way to go about this to avoid those things, if at all possible.

I don't want to hurt my Sims, I just want to try romance from a different angle than I normally do, that's all.

I'd really love to hear from other Simmers who have done this sort of thing before and their experiences. 

(I forgot to mention that I want all Sims involved living under the same roof ... yeah, probably asking for trouble, I know, lol. XD ).

I have before done many open relationships on the Sims 4. I only did it so I could complete my aspiration, which was serial romantic.
I found out that if one of your girlfriends/boyfriends sees you with another girlfriend/boyfriend they do tend to get jealous. I haven't found anything to stop this from happening.
Another thing is you can have more than one girlfriend/boyfriend. This makes it easier, in a way, to have a proper relationship.
I don't recommend having a relationship with a good friend/best friend. This can make things very awkward.
One last thing, if you don't want anyone to get jealous try to avoid public areas.

Goodluck!

One thing is for sure - it's a lot less problematic in TS4 because Sims won't be aware of what transpires in different rooms/areas like they were in TS3. As long as you don't go anywhere with more than one lover at a time, they will be completely unaware of the competition. However, completing the Serial Romantic aspiration will provide you with a reward trait which counters jealousy. Then you can play the field indefinitely with no problems. Good luck and have fun! Personally, I love this playstyle since I get bored easily. Not in real life though
