The New Love Expansion is sexy!
Should go well with a lot of the adult mods available, if only to make relationships more fleshed out and less robotic as compared to older games. May end up buying it just for the role playing interactions alone

We well see. I hope it is good, but I doubt it… would be a nice surprise if it really good.

Either way, I'm buying. it will pair well with Wicked Whims.

If you think that you are going to like this expansion pack then you probably would have liked the first Sims game (2000) as well. Lovestruck and The Sims in addition to The SIms 2 all have similar stuff at least to some extent.

Romance? Bah. Doesn't exist except in the minds of a few men. Reality is sex, security and companion.

the romance system in sims 4 needs updating, being able to use a dating app without having to download an out of date mod is nice

This is sad that you think this but each his own.

Hopefully we can finally make the sims faithful or poly. I mean ... I don’t want to play poly, but I want definitely the faithful thing without the need of a mod.

They should have made the "arranged marriage" Pack.
Your parents and future inlaws arrange a mariage for you based on your relationship with your parents. They pick someone compatible for a spouse if they like you, and someone horrible if they don't like you.
Why do I have to think of these things? should be obvious.
Ready to tie the not? Go to mom and dad and see if they can find someone for you

Yeah, the base game update I think is normally a week or so before EP release? So we'll see if this new boundaries system works and how you set it up exactly. We don't really know how simple or complex things will be.

I am curious what you mean by faithful. What sort of situation are you thinking? If you set them to not exploring romantically, they shouldn't be accepting flirts from anyone new, so they should then only be committed to their current partner (or no one if you don't want them dating).

Faithful = no cheating. Sims are cheater in a vanilla game. They only need to have the flirty mode and they cheat with everybody. If you don’t have this then you have a mod which take care of this issue. Is one of the most requested features that Sims don’t cheat on their partner.

I dunno what to tell you. I don't have any mods to prevent cheating, and I've never had any issues. Now, I've not recently played with a sim who had the romantic trait or the serial romantic aspiration, so that could certainly impact things.

Is it that sims are doing things autonomously while you're playing a household, or while you're playing another household?

The game is so coded that your Sims is not per se faithful the only things which matter is if they have the flirty mode. If they flirty there is a % that they can flirt with anyone. You can see this behavior if you have City Living and g to the romance festival. You normally end always with a couple which one spouse cheat because they have a flirty mode, this can happen to if you disable autonomy because sims still have a autonomy behavior if they Smalltalk.

I mean you don’t need to believe me but then would be something as MCCC be unnecessary that you can there disable flirt action, or that WW has a faithful trait if this would be a vanilla behavior.

Some examples from EA AHQ:

Oh, it's not a matter of thinking you're lying, I just honestly have never had this happen so was wondering about the situation.
I do not play with freewill on, which is why I asked about is it while playing the family or another that this can occur.

However, exceptions would potentially include the romance festival and the free love NAP since those things are meant to encourage such behaviour. There is also the matter of, unless your sim is officially dating someone (or engaged, etc), they may also be flirting with everyone since the game likely isn't tagging them as even in a relationship.

I may take a look at those threads though to see if anyone has done any sort of extensive testing, and if the "romantically exploring" option in CAS is not working, etc

This has nothing to do with romantic exploring. Sims will not cheat if Sims A only has a romantical interest in men and a women flirt with her. She will cheat if a random men flirt with her, and she is happy. This is something which you can’t avoid, especially is the flirty sims a good friend. I hope they finally fix this issue. Because of this stupidity you end with such hilarious situations as my father-in-law flirted with my sim and my sim flirted back. Now my father-in-law calls me regularly and ask for a date.

Personally, I'll never buy another Game Pack priced like an EP again. Maybe at 60% off and in a bundle.
