Romance

The Romance aspiration is one of the five (or six, Nightlife included) aspirations in The Sims 2. Romance Sims want to have as many lovers as possible, and they always want more! Romance Sims enjoy meeting new lovers, having affairs, and WooHoo.

Tips & Tricks

• 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, for obvious reasons.
• 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.
• 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 cheat on their spouse.
• Conversely, Fortune, Popularity, and (usually) Pleasure Sims make excellent spouses or roomies with Romance Sims.
• When a Romance Sim falls in love with another Sim, they immediately gain a want to have multiple loves at once.
• Romance Sims are unique for not wanting to get married, engaged, go steady and have babies. Non-Romance Sims usually want things like this (besides Pleasure, but even they won't fear it).
