One of the most interesting and emotional moments in a Sim’s life is the day they fall in love and find the right partner.
But there’s one question that still hasn’t got a clear answer. In this article, we’ll analyze if Sims can fall in love on their own and under what circumstances.
Can Sims start relationships on their own? Sims cannot fall in love or start relationships on their own. Players need to induce romantic relationships. No Sim will start a love relationship on their own.
However, there have been reports about sudden increases in the Sims’ relationship bars without players’ intervention but these are extremely rare events.
How love relationships are created in The Sims 4
Most players make romantic relationships between Sims happen. But there have been some rare reports mentioning romantic relationships happening when gamers didn’t want them to.
In rare cases, players have seen Sims meeting other Sims and their relationship bars increasing but they could not identify any specific pattern. It seems there are very rare events. The autonomous AI has this option disabled by default. So why would such rare events occur is a mystery in itself.
If you want to test if Sims can start relationships on their own, make sure they have the flirty trait enabled, send them to town, a bar or another place where they will encounter other Sims and watch how they interact.
How to find the perfect match for your Sim
To find the perfect romantic match for your Sim, make sure the potential partner has the traits that your Sim likes. If the Sims get along well naturally, and the interaction was received favorably, the relationship meter will rise, indicating a good match.
Autonomous relationships in The Sims 4 would be a nice touch
Many gamers said they supported the idea of autonomous romantic relationships in the game.
It seems like a cool idea to let them make relationships of their own with people of their choosing instead of having me intervene constantly. I’m a free will advocate though, so I don’t think I’ll have the patience lol
If EA was to add this feature, there are some essential changes to be made. Sims take an awful lot of time to create friendships on their own, let alone romantic relationships.
Speaking of your Sims’ crushes and hates, it is worth mentioning there is a mod you can use to control autonomous flirty and mean actions. In this manner, you can keep some of the less desirable changes and actions under your complete control.
And now you know.
