Hi!! I love following Daisy's BC. 🌸 I hope she finds true love!! I have a lot of trouble getting my sims to autonomously initiate anything romantic, and I have no idea how best to handle doing solo dates and such - like, do you just put them somewhere and see if they do anything? 😂 Would you be willing to elaborate on how you're running your challenge? Any special guidelines, tips, that kind of thing?
Thank you SO much for your kind words. I put together a little guide to how I run my challenge for you. ❤️
» I started the romantic actions in the introductions
I had everyone start off by doing some type of introduction that matched with their character/backstory/traits. Then (I can’t 100% remember but I think) I had them each do one friendly, one flirty, and one personal interaction. The personal interaction is what matched their traits. So a funny sim (or whatever that trait is) would crack a joke.
» then I did the first round of one-on-one dates
For these, I had Daisy ask the rolled sim on an actual date. This way - I had objectives to follow. This gave a decent boost to friendship and romantic. Very small, but enough to get them to autonomously flirt.
» then was the first house party
This is where the drama started. For this: I left the controls alone allll night until the sun came up and let them do whatever they wanted. I just watched and took screenshots. Dancing is a great way for sims to get to know each other and there were at least 3 sims dancing at all times. This party made some significant progress for certain sims. Some followed her around all night and some looked the other way. Some flirted with her and others got a little jealous.
» following this was a bonus challenge & date
Pretty self explanatory. The sim who won the challenge got an extra full on date with Daisy.
» then rose ceremony & we start again.
So, I had jealously on to keep things interesting up until I cut the competition in half. (12 > 7) At this point, the relationships are so high that Daisy got slapped twice in a row for kissing one of the contestants. I really did not like that or think that was very realistic so:
Big Recommendation: Keep jealously on UNTIL the majority of the relationships are high high. I have it off now, but I plan to not let anyone max out… if I can help it. One sim is so close!
