Bugged romancing
I've had my sim going with a fairy for awhile now, who also moved in as a roommate, they've gone on several dates, are romantic interests, she is highly intrigued or interested or whatever it was with her. Basically the two relationship wise are perfect.

But for some reason several options aren't showing up for me, like they can woohoo in the shower but not like igloos or double beds. And I can't confess attraction or ask to Go Steady with them, or propose although not likely to do that anytime soon.

My sim hasn't had a relationship with anyone before as its pretty much the first person still. And the fairy isn't in a relationship either.

Is there a mod or unofficial patch thing to fix this or am I just a complete idiot?

I do have a couple mods installed being GPU increase,errortrap and overwatch. So could it be those? As I was under impression they made the game not break down constantly and run at a stable framerate.

Also addons I got:
Supernatural, Ambitions, Seasons, World Adventures, University Life, Generations, Pets, Late Night

Any help is appreciated, like if I'm just stupid, if theres a good mod to fix it etc.

Shower woohoo where the player clicks on the shower rather than the sims always presents less of a barrier for sims than beds and igloos. There are two ways to approach bed woohoo. One is an unbroken string of short term romantic interactions as sims progress from Sim A thinks Sim B is okay though being flirty, somewhat alluring, all the way to very irresistible. It can take a while, depending on traits and the sims' moods that day. One single interruption like stopping for a friendly or funny interaction, answering the phone, going to the bathroom, a pet requires attention, etc. and the chain of interactions breaks so they have to be started over again. Once sims have been together as partners for a while, this chain gets much easier to move through, those who have been married or the equivalent and ever faithful don't require much effort at all as long as the mutual attraction is there.

The other way is to have Sim A relax on the bed and call sim B over to cuddle, This one is usually easier to work through, from kiss to make out to woohoo. If Sim B refuses to get into the bed for this (sometimes a cuddle is just that and nothing more though), then they probably have attraction issues. And if neither one works, then one of them may have other motives that are too low (energy, hunger, bladder, fun).

You can't Confess Attraction to a Romantic Interest, they've already moved beyond that. The next phase is Ask to Go Steady so they become BF/GFs. Propose is also off the table until that step happens. Moving up the relationship ladder also requires the unbroken romantic chain from okay through irresistible or just short of it just like bed woohoo does. It would also help if they knew just about everything there is to know about each other -- traits, career, alma mater, etc., although if they are part of the same household they might already do so.

Some sims just take longer to warm up to romance than others. Does either one have traits that are not romance/flirt friendly? There are also in-game things like LTRs, romantic drinks (Late Nite), cinnamon (Uni), and elixirs (Supernatural) that can help break these barriers down.

NRaas ErrorTrap and Overwatch have no intended influence on the romance/attraction systems. Woohooer does, but that's quite a different mod.

Thank you man, so basically I didn't pull it off right. I'll try it out, I'm more used to sims 2 and 1 so didn't know they added in so much for romancing.

And yeah I didn't think the mods would change anything but thought to put them in there just to cover bases

I know all the sims trait also for them, neither are unromantic with my sim being a romantic, it probably is just needed to spend more time with them before trying and got interrupted too much.
