Well, after I first installed and started up Nightlife (and discovered
that the first sim I played really likes stinky women in their
underwear), I decided I wanted to send my most prolific romance sim on
the prowl to try it out. I sent him downtown in the hopes that he'd
find a newly created downtownie who he could add to his conquest list,
which currently stands at sixteen (all legitimate, hack-free conquests
too!).
Well, he didn't find a downtownie, but he did find a woman who he was
quite fond of but with whom he hadn't done anything. So he asked her
out on a date and they got busy.
While this was happening, the other sims were making asses of
themselves, throwing water balloons around and just generally being
pains in the ass to one another, and that's why I didn't notice at
first the inordinate number of sims just standing around looping the
embarrassment animation, with double minus signs spamming constantly.
After they had dinner and went into the photo booth for a shoot, that's
when I noticed that the embarrassment seemed to be directed at our fair
protagonist and his date. They got out of the photo booth, and
immediately two sims came at them, poking them and shouting at them.
That's when I realized, a date counts as a *constant romantic
interaction* and the sims who were upset with my sim were relatives of
the women he had already "conquested". Since about ten of his sixteen
lovers were sims from my families and not townies, there wasn't a
single downtown lot he could go where he and his date wouldn't face the
constant barrage of the town's consternation.
So, our protagonist went to the bathroom, and his date got into a fight
with the father of one of his lovers. Things were no better for our
protagonist, as the brother of another of his lovers followed him into
the bathroom and blocked his exit from the toilet stall. It ended in a
stalemate that lasted two real life minutes, before the brother gave up
and walked away. By then, the date was over and she had had a good
time, fights nowithstanding. I suspect it would have been better had
he not spent the last half of it locked in the toilet.
So sadly, I've discovered that my romance sims really need to restrict
their dates to their residences, and the only sims I'll have going on
dates downtown are the married and/or monogamous ones, those whose
romantic relationships are restricted to university townies, or
virgins. It's more than a little disappointing, since only about 6 of
my 210 playable sims fit that description.
