Following Romantic Interests to the Letter

[GlazeyLady]

The team actually did recently make a General Rules edit for Seasons players. The following covers all remaining 2018 Tournament challenges...

Seasons players > No Extreme weather and Holidays turned off.

I don't see an option to turn Holidays off - does this just mean that we delete any holidays that come up and don't create any?
Or is there a Holidays on/off option somewhere that I'm missing?

I think the options shown below, with a start in spring, give an experience pretty much like not having seasons installed - at least for the duration of time we use in the challenges.

This was Lena's recommendation a couple days ago in a team PM...I think I took that to mean there must be an option setting for holidays...

Turn off extreme weather. Don't add holidays.

But, now I see she just meant never to add holidays.

You can also turn off each holiday individually on the calendar.

So don't add played made holidays but OK for the ones that come with the expansions?

Cheers!

No -  you do not play any holidays.

The game will sometimes throw in some surprise holidays without notification. So I guess we should check the calendar often.

This is how I interpret it, too: no rain, no snow, temperature effects off.

Thanks for the screenshots for the rule set, Lena.

Phew!  Ruma Romantica was a VERY busy girl...and had to have a spreadsheet to keep track of all those relationships!

60 relationships at lovebird or higher (54 sweetheart, 5 lovebird, 1 lover)
59 gold dates

Scoring   60 * ((1+(59*.05))
              60 * 3.95                =  237

[Metropolis Man]

Great score, Tuija.

Hi, I have a trouble with one relationship that I'm not sure if it's above lovebird or not. (it seems sometimes equal to lovebird in term of friendship/romance levels)

Can someone confirm me this is fine?
 The text is roughly "Love coming from friendship A strong friendship who became a love that last"

amoureux

I know this is the French term for love birds. From the pink bar, I would say it is. Anyone else? @MarianT @LenaLJ

I think that's the same as sweethearts. In any case, it's a higher level than "romantic interests" and at least as high as lovebirds.

[Tynynounours]

Maybe it's the equivalent of sweetheart. For lovebird, I know the word used is "tourtereaux" which comes from the bird "turtledove".  But this one, sometimes the levels seemed equal with lovebird, annd in one case, it changed to this after I checked, and I wasn't sure of anything.

Thank you all.

"Sweethearts" is "The foundation of a strong friendship has formed a lasting love."  which seems pretty close to the translation you gave.
