Non-stop Dating (Master of Seduction)

[MoMoll]

I am experiencing the strangest glitch in my present game. After day 12 of marriage, my sim read in the newspaper that she was married to her husband the night before. It was the exact same announcement when they were first married. Since then, they are now 23 days married, every place they go together turns into a date. They go out clubbing and it's immediately a date. They attend a party together, it's a date. They go fishing, it's a date. They took their child to the library and it was a date.

After 23 days I expected to see "Faithful" or "Eternally Faithful" in their relationship; but, instead it's as if they have never stopped their honeymoon. They keep getting wishes to go on dates with each other. When Dad was putting the kid to bed, she spontaneously started flirting with him. I let them continue and he's holding the kid and they keep flirting up to alluring. Had to stop them because the poor kid was exhausted.

Also when teaching the kid to talk, all Dad did was talk about love and romance. Wonder how this child is going to turn out.

That made me laugh so hard! Holding the baby and flirting-teaching the baby to talk, it's funny!  I didn't actually know that sims can flirt while holding a baby/toddler. ( and teaching-to-talk speech bubbles are rather random)
However, your sims' Non-stop dating doesn't really look like a glitch to me. Wishing for dates after marriage is quite common in my game. Also, If you do a romantic interaction and then go somewhere together, it's most likely to turn into a date rather than an outing.

Unluckily ( or luckily  ), the game's not clever enough to find out if you're going fishing or going to go on a date. It just registers whatever has some romance in it as a "date".
Anyway,have you probably tried forming a group? It might be the grouping that is the problem. If you can, then your couple are probably too much "in love". ( LoL)

One more thing- when this happy couple are talking to each other, how does it start? I mean, is it like "X thinks X is being flirty/alluring/irresistible" or "X thinks X is okay"?

And I'm way too confused about the rest. I hope someone can help you with them.  ( newspaper and "being faithful" )

Yes, when they approach each other to do "friendly" talking they are already at alluring or irresistable. They are neglecting the kids, because they are always flirting. Luckily I bought the swing which keeps the kids happy (there are now three).
They don't do romantic interactions before going somewhere. It just automatically turns into a date. And even when they don't do anything together, there's the notice "Spending time with you was wonderful, I'd like to see you again". They LIVE together, so he sees her everyday!
I'm wondering if it's because I had the husband change his name back to his normal name. Celebrities are known by their name. Look and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, they kept their names. So, since both are celebrities, I had him change his last name to his original name.
It doesn't matter much, because Mr. "non-comittment" is not straying anywhere! He's too enthralled with his wife and his happiness bar is never below full. Could it be because she's a "master at seduction"?
I WANT then to attain "forever faithful" (I've played this same couple before); but, apparently they are stuck at lover level. He'll get old soon and die, and neither will get the faithful or forever faithful icon. Their statistics are at "None". Oh well, they are having a good time.

This is a very good question and I don't think we've explored it very much.  My current Sim also has the Master of Seduction Lifetime Happiness Reward because she needed to get married and she didn't have time to go through a bunch of romantic rejection.  Then I started noticing that men were practically flocking to her.  She threw a husband hunting party for herself and it seemed like there was unusual interest in her.

I'm going to add Master of Seduction to the title of this thread and see if we can get others to come by and share experiences.  I think I'll also move it to the General Discussion board because it not necessarily specific to the Generations Expansion Pack.

Well, they do seem very happy with each other. Here they are flirting while holding their twins

I know what you mean Pam about men flocking around the sim who has the LTR. Before marriage, my sim would throw parties and every male lined up to dance with her and some kept trying to give her flowers.
When she got married, her husband was immediately falesly accused of being arrested and had to go to city hall to sue.

I just wanted to comment on the faithful/eternally faithful.  I've tried and tried but I've never been able to get faithful or eternally faithful on 1st generation Sims.  I can almost always get it on second generation that met in high school.  At first I thought it was because for me first generation rarely actually dated for a long period of time, I tend to rush the romance to get the second generation.

[MoMoll]

For me I've always gotten "faithful" or "Eternally Faitful" with my first generation, except for this time. I don't know if it's a combination of "master of seduction" and the husband's name change. Since he changed his name, it seems like the game doesn't recognize their marriage (though the relationship and family tree do) or else it's because she has the LTR for seduction and both have the flirty trait so they don't seem to want to do anything else but flirt.

As a sidenote I'd like to add, as soon as I installed Generations my legacy founder and her spouse, who were happily married with five kids, instantly got the eternally faithful moodlets once the hubby had asked one of his friends 'What do They say About Me?'. And of course, because it's the founder - they were also the first generation.

I decided to hire a butler to help with the kids, since the parents are not paying attention to the children. Guess it's boarding school for the kids, because I can't stop the excessive flirting. Laundry isn't done, meals aren't cooked. At least the kids have been potty trained and can walk and talk; but, after that they don't exist for the parents.
