The Romance aspiration is one of the five aspirations for a Sim that comes with the base game. It is possible to choose the Romance aspiration for a Sim in Create-A-Sim mode. Romance Sims want to have as many lovers as possible, and they always want more! Romance Sims enjoy meeting new lovers, making out with as many Sims as possible, and WooHooing. The common job for a Romance Sim is in the Slacker career. Other jobs that Romance Sims usually have are in the Culinary career and the Athletic career.
Romance Sims are the only aspiration that fears going steady, getting engaged, or getting married, and will most likely have a bad memory from each (whereas a Sim of any other aspiration will get a good memory for those events). In addition, when a Romance Sim falls in love with another Sim, they immediately gain a want to have multiple loves at once (a common Lifetime want for Romance Sims is to have twenty simultaneous lovers). 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, since in order to keep their aspiration score high, they will effectively be required to cheat on their spouse.
It is never recommended--unless, of course, you want a challenge or some ugly marital drama--to marry a Romance Sim with a Family Sim, as their wants will clash. 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 time.
Don Lothario and Bella Goth are famous premade Sims in Pleasantview with the Romance aspiration, while Ripp Grunt and Chloe Singles have it in Strangetown.
Player Tips
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 may not be so rejectful of marriage if it is to a rich sim. This had happened with an apartment roomie who married my sim and was happy because my sim was rich. You may also trigger this by making money their secondary aspiriation. Template:Sims2aspirations
