New Attraction System and Reputation
« on: December 27, 2012, 09:53:20 PM »
So I have a feeling this topic may be loosely off, and if this is in the wrong place please feel free to let me know and move the topic where it belongs or point me in the right direction if it's already been spoken of. My first reasoning for coming here was I had not experienced this issue before Seasons' new attraction system so my best assumption is that my issue is linked to either the patch of Seasons or the Seasons game.

I've mentioned this issue before in another problem glitch I was having and got a passing over of responses that I tried individually. My issue is my Sim couple has been together forever but are still not Eternally Faithful... or even just Faithful! I tried creating them as just roommates and working their relationship up on day one and now at day 32 there is still no moodlet. They are engaged, go on frequent dates (at least 3 times a week to places out on the town) they both have a significant amount of friends to notice this relationship (he's in the Business career and she's a self-employed painter who has taken several opportunities which increased relationships with a ton of people). They have never - not even remotely - flirted or taken a liking to anyone other than each other. When they were in another save of mine they had been together for 63 days with no cheating or thoughts of other people and still no moodlet. In fact, I haven't seen this moodlet in MONTHS of playing.

So my question I suppose is, has anyone else gotten this moodlet or is there a glitch going on here that may not be fixable?
It's not game breaking, no, but it's annoying to me. They have gotten no reputation at all! I wonder if it has something to do with the new attraction system though. Both sims periodically recieve affectionate love letters or gifts from other Sims, or calls for dates... neither of them have a profile on the Online Dating service but I feel like having all of these Sims "attracted" to my Sims might mess with the reputation and Eternally Faithful.
As a side note, my Sims are both "attracted" to each other by game standards.

I've seen sims get the faithful moodlets in post-Seasons games. In fact, one of my couples got it after the husband openly cheated (and the wife got about a dozen calls each day from suitors, so it's not like they escaped the attraction system)! Another couple wasn't even married. Some of my couples don't get it either, so I think it might be a little random.

I've gotten it many times.  Usually it's after a couple has been married for quite a while.

I have rarely got it, even before Seasons, and then it would come and go.  I'm not much of a socialiser, so, as long as the Sims aren't losing relationship and their social bar is full, I tend not to do many social actions. 
Does your couple flirt with each other in public?  I'm guessing they can't have a reputation if no one sees!

I was put out that my boy got a cheater reputation when his mum asked him to break up with his boyfriend.  That relationship wasn't going anywhere, and I didn't tell the boy to be gay!  He only did what his mum asked; it's not like he played away!

I had that moodlet with one of my sims, they weren't even married. They had some kids at her house and as he went to that house he got the moodlet. Their relation ship would have been around twenty days

I haven't had it for the longest time, but the last time I remember, only one Sim received it.  Both had never been with anyone else but one had it and one didn't.  I've heard that the Faithful one is after 12 days, and the Eternally Faithful is after 20 days. I'll have a look in my current game and see if I can get it :)

I just had a couple get the moodlet in my Dynasty file. They'd been romantic interests since a day or so after her YA birthday and got the moodlet on her adult birthday. They were married less than a week, and both had different romantic interests or partners before each other.

Thank you all for your responses... so it may not be a glitch or anything I'm just curious as to why I haven't seen it. I've been pretty busy and unable to play lately so I hope you'll excuse my late running response to everything. My Sims had been together in the one game for 54 Sim days (married a good 40 of those), and in my new game they had been together for upwards of 20. I may just play around to see if I can get my Sims to get the moodlet at all in any save.

I very rarely seem to get the moodlet in my files. In my current immortal dynasty, I am on gen 4 and no one has gotten it, even my founder who has never been with anyone else. For the others, I blame prom. They both came out with random romantic interests and despite no romance towards them and immediately asking to be friends again, this seems to count.
From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told what I must do and who I must be. I've been shrunk, stretched, scratched and stuffed into a teapot. I've been accused of being Alice, and of not being Alice, but this is my dream. I'll decide where it goes from here.

To get those moodlets, make sure you're doing Romantic interactions in public - doesn't matter if it's the park across the street or the seasonal festival. It's a reputation that others need to notice. If you're always doing it in private (bedroom, bathroom, basement), then who else will see it to comment on it to the town? :)

It also works if you're doing romantic interactions at a party. That's where my latest sims got their moodlet: her birthday party.

Have you been recieving gifts and love letters? Remove your profile from the online dating site. It may be part of the reason, siince others think your not serious with your intended.

I might even hazard a guess that the profile removal only works in fresh games - in my crashed deader than dead Life States Dynasty, even after removing the profiles, my sims were getting so many gifts and love letters, I was sad that I hadn't just designated one person as the mail carrier.

In all the new games I've tried, though, I've not had any issues with the gifts or love letters.

I finally got their reputation! I guess it wasn't a glitch but it seemed to have gotten harder to get lately! They threw a lot of parties (including bachelor parties) and to everyone both Sims saw they "Confess attraction to (insert partner's name here)" which finally landed them their moodlet when they got married at a HUGE ceremony on a beach they owned and fully upgraded. Phew! That only took 35 days to achieve! I must say I super saved after that and did a happy dance!

Edit to add: They never had profiles! The save was created after Seasons and I thought it might have something to do with the attraction system and online dating but it really didn't as when I checked the only option was to "Create Profile" not "Remove Profile."
Though I don't feel having an online profile is relative to receiving gifts or dates because I receive them ALL the time and never once used the online dating system.
