Online Dating and Love letters
« on: November 20, 2012, 06:36:42 AM »
Got a very weird message for my sim today from Alan Stanley : "Kat...that's an interesting name. You should tell me about it while we make out." She immediately trashed that one.

My sim sent a love letter to Matt Hamming and his response letter said : "I've been waiting my whole life for a letter like that. I feel the same way". Of course the jerk then went and got engaged to someone else right after sending it.

What kind of messages and letters are others getting? I find som of them to be quite funny.

I've been playing the Wainrights in Sunset Valley and Boyd and Susan get letters all the time even though they're happily married and have never looked at the online dating thing.  Vita Alto has developed quite a crush on Boyd. She first sent him a flower pot with a letter, asked him for a date on the phone and got rejected, and then even in the face of being ignored and just being friends (he does invite her over for parties) she then sent him one that said something like, "Let me paint a picture: You and me, together. What do you think?" along with a Tree of Prosperity.

What's funny is she just had a baby with Nick, too.

Well, internet wasn"t available when I was young. But, I put out an ad and received 20 letters the first week. Similar. You meet, and often run away! Men, who lied in their letters, saying they were single, etc. But, met the man of my life. Going on 25 years!

So, had my sim answer all her responses and, after she answered, I found out they had broken up with their girlfriends, etc.

My Sims has had a cute little romance with Goodwin Goode. He says things like he's too shy to tell her in person, but he thinks they are really good together and wants to know if she feels the same way. So far the only online profile I have seen is Julienne Knack's and she totally told the truth.

Some of the sims online dating proposals can be quite funny.

I'm surprised with a T rating that the game generates all this flirting from married individuals.  I had a family party at my sims house where she invited over her adult daughter who's married.  During the party, the son-in-law was hitting on one of the other sisters.  I don't mind some of that as realism that everyone isn't a good person, but his traits are Athletic, Brave, Charismatic, Hopeless Romantic and Neat.  The sister he was hitting on has Handy, Loves the Outdoors, Angler, Friendly and Green Thumb.  From what I've heard from Twallan who's looked into the coding for the attraction system, apparently the EA system rolls 1-100 between two sims and then applies modifiers based on traits, career, etc.  If the final score is 100 or more, there's attraction.  That seems a bit too random to me and would explain the massive amount of people that are sending love letters to my house to several of the residents.  I think they should get a big negative multiplier if they're married and a further multiplier for things like Eternally Faithful moodlet.  I'm tired of all these people hitting on my married couple when they've never initiated anything romantic with anyone else.  And there should be a score decay based on the number of rejected or non-responded letters and phone calls.  People should get the hint after a few years <rolls eyes>.  If I acted on even half of the attraction things that pop up in my game, most of the town would be cheaters.  Doesn't seem right in a T game where I'd hope you'd want to hold up a certain moral example.

My sim sent a love letter to Conner Frio when they were just friends and she got a pretty mean reply. Then I had her send another one a day before they started dating and he replied with "Words are sweet, but words can't kiss. Get over here and let's discuss our feelings..."  ::)
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0.

And there should be a score decay based on the number of rejected or non-responded letters and phone calls.

When I peeked in the code when the patch came out it said three rejections would stop them calling, from what people say it seems that doesn't work.

To me it's the random 1-100 that is the problem, as it also adds points for skills, career level and wealth you could get over 100 with somebody you have nothing in common with at all if the random score was high. And it doesn't count favourites which I find odd, my sim certainly seems too, she always wants to learn the sign of anybody who likes cookies  ;D

Got that one from my sim's ex-boyfriend!

I like the idea of the system but it needs work.

@Dellena: I agree, it needs some work. You can turn it off; but, when you have a single sim, they can check out the townies. Unfortunately, many ask for dates and then have previous engagements (i.e. work).

Once my sim gets in a serious relationship, I'll remove her profile on the "online" site.

I was pretty happy to find out that my Sims would no longer get the gifts, calls, and love letters if I removed their online profile.  However, it won't remove itself!  With one of my Sims, every time he clicks on the online dating, it has the option to remove the profile.  So, it's staying on there even when I remove it repeatedly.  His wife has better luck and it doesn't show up, but she's started getting the calls for dates again.  At one point, I was getting a call about every minute.

Maybe try creating another one and then remove it again?  That seems to have worked for my married couple who didn't show one at all but were getting calls and letters all the time.  So I created the profile and then promptly removed it again.  Might be worth a try.
