Dating: Difference between revisions

Outings return in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' as a new way of keeping a group of Sims together. It is an enhanced version of the outings from ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]''. In ''Late Night'', grouping is a very easy option to use, but it is only available when two Sims have a medium/high relationship or are related to one other. When Sims group, they will have small blue PlumbBobs hovering over the top of their head. A group of two to eight Sims can go to bars, lounges, clubs, swimming pools, etc., but apparently cannot go to a Sim's house{{confirm}}. There cannot be two separate Sims with two different groups. When the Sim who formed the group is tired, going to work/school, or somewhere by themselves, the group will disband. However, a Sim with the [[Party Animal]] trait may want to continue the group and might remain. <ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/thesims3latenightexpansionpack/news.html?sid=6275284&mode=previews GameSpot - The Sims 3: Late Night Exclusive Hands-On - A Brief Look at the New Expansion]</ref>

Dating returns with ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''. The Sims are able to date others as they did in ''The Sims 2''. Sims can only ask on date if their [[Relationship#The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval|relationship]] is Romantic Interest or Boyfriend/Girlfriend, or if they are [[Marriage#The Sims 3|engaged or married]]. However, if two friends are in a group and one gives flowers/flirts/etc with the other, a message will come up changing it from a group to a date. Instead of the blue PlumbBob that was used in earlier games, there are two pink hearts above the dating Sims. Dating can only occur between two Sims; if there are more, it turns into a group.
