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 an impacting bad memory from 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, since in order to keep their aspiration score high, they will effectively be required to cheat on their spouse.
- Conversely, Fortune and Popularity 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.
Player Stories
- Never, EVER make a Sim with the Romance Aspiration if you want them to have a family. I learned that the hard way, thinking that because the Sim would be romantic, it would want to fall in love, get married, have children, etc. When I had it do all of those things, though, its aspiration meter dropped so low it would conk out. After a while, it started to get kind of funny, actually. Ha!
- I got 19th lover on yesterday. Today I will make 20th for lifetime aspiration. I kiss her and rise a relation to gain a lover relation. UNFORTUNELY 19th lover that I got relation yesterday saw me she very so mad. And she slap on my face. and 20th lover leave me. Argh!!!! Where can I find perfect women like two of her. Perhaps I must forcus on the handsome man near a resturant counter for lifetime aspiration. ^_^
