Line 35:
At the start of the game, the feud between the [[Capp family|Capps]] and the [[Monty family|Montys]] was still at large. But the traditions hadn't stopped the younger generation from crossing the boundaries and falling in [[Love|love]]. At the start of the game Romeo has a crush on [[Fanon:Juliette Capp|Juliette Capp]] and vice-versa. The two were just short from becoming love interests. Despite their pre-set backstories, Romeo usually fears [[Going Steady]] with Juliette when first playing the [[Monty family]], due to having the [[Romance]] [[Aspiration]]. Also he will often have a want to [[Flirt]] with Juliette's younger sister [[Fanon:Hermia Capp|Hermia Capp]]. In my player stories Romeo's wants were re-rolled and his want to start an [[Affair]] with Hermia would not re-spawn until much later.
In late January 2012, I decided to have Romeo invite his girlfriend Juliette over. When Juliette's younger brother [[Fanon:Tybalt Capp|Tybalt Capp]] realized that she was missing, he went to [[Monty Ranch]] to see if she was there. But that wasn't the key reason Tybalt wanted to go after her. When I saw him walking on to Monty Ranch I knew immediately that he was there to attack Mercutio. I had asked myself - what if Tybalt lost. Of course I didn't know at the time that Tybalt was the toughest and meanest of the Capp family youths. He went straight over to Mercutio and attacked him. Tybalt emerged as the winner - no surprises there. Romeo lectured Tybalt, but for all the attention Tybalt took, Romeo might just as well not have lectured him at all. However the [[Romantic (social type)|Romantic]] [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)|Spell]] that [[Fanon:Titania Summerdream|Titania]] and [[Fanon:Oberon Summerdream|Oberon Summerdream]] had cast over Veronaville's youth, and my powers as a [[Watcher]] seemed to be doing their jobs. Because Mercutio soon rang Tybalt up on the [[Telephone]] and they exchanged polite conversations which eventually lead to Mercutio and Tybalt becoming good friends.
It was a real drama trying to get Romeo and Juliette to go steady, because no matter how many times I made Juliette propose to Romeo or vice-versa, the one proposing always ended up rejected. I dragged their daily and lifetime relationship bars to 100% with [[BoolProp testingcheatsenabled|cheats]] and the same thing happened. I'm pretty sure the problem wasn't that they didn't have compatible aspirations. It was either because one or more of their needs were low. I didn't have [[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]] installed so I couldn't use the [[Sim Modder]], and I couldn't use the 'Make Selectable' option because it doesn't seem to work properly without [[Expansion pack|Expansion packs]]. So thus if Romeo was visiting Juliette, I couldn't make him selectable and drag his [[Motives]] bars to the maximum level. Or it could just have been a [[Glitch]] - I suspect there may be a minor glitch in the base game where a [[Sim]] will reject another Sim for engagement or going steady in the Sims 2 outright, regardless of relationship. In the end I had to move Juliette in with Romeo, which apparently lifted the 'glitch' allowing a successful proposal to take place. Once they were going steady I moved Juliette back to the [[Capp Manor]].
