==Tips & Tricks==
*Sims with knowledge aspiration get along pretty badly with romance sims, as they have nothing in common and where a romantic sim might wish for a style of life with a lot of partners and social interactions, intellectual sims prefer to stay alone studying. It's like cold-hot, water-oil. They won't ever get along well.
* With FreeTime, it can be quite easy for a Romance sim with all the perks to woo a Knowledge or even a Family sim. Even without FreeTime, a Knowledge sim can have some very good chemistry with a Romance sim.
* If FreeTime is installed, a good way for two opposites to get along would be to have one partner be Romance/family or Romance/knowledge, and give the other partner Romance as a secondary aspiration.
* In the base game, if you have a Romance and Knowledge sim marry, give the Romance sim a job and he or she will often roll the want to woohoo upon coming home. This can be good for Romance/Family pairings too, as the Family sim will want to have a baby.
*If you want a Romance Sim to marry and not have their aspiration bar fall low, make their secondary aspiration family. You need ''[[The Sims 2 FreeTime]]'' to get a secondary aspiration.
*Romance Sims won't have a bad memory of marrying a rich Sim.
*A relationship between Family Sims and Romance Sims may not always result too well due to their clashing needs. Family Sims want to get engaged and married, while Romance Sims normally fear engagement and marriage; as a result, an engagement/marriage between Romance and Family Sims will often greatly boost a Family Sim's aspiration while severely lowering the Romance Sim's. The Family Sim will want to have children and raise them carefully, and Romance Sims will wish to WooHoo, go on dates and find other lovers all the same time. The problems arising from this pairing can be mitigated by having the two partners date often.
*For these reasons, if you're looking to have a stable family, it's generally considered a poor strategy to have a Romance Sim marry. In order to keep their aspiration score high, they will effectively be required to [[Affairs|cheat]] on their spouse.
*When a Romance Sim falls in love with another Sim, they may also gain a want to have multiple loves at once.
