Dizzy-noodles Original Poster Field Researcher Join Date: Sep 2011 Posts: 383	Hiya So today I made three new sims and chucked them in a house together. I knew they weren't suited to each other, but I was curious, so I got them to 'check sim out' on each of the other two. They had one bolt with each combination, so I didn't think much of it and was going to take them downtown on the pull. But then the two blokes started autonomously flirting with each other, and had crushes in about 5 minutes! I always thought it was only 3 bolt couples who did that? And should I let them be a couple or make them each find 'the one' (a sim they have 3 bolts with)? What do you think?

Thanks but mine were only 1 bolt-do they do it aswell?

I love 3 bolt couples, I think they're cute!

The only really obsessive three-bolters I have are the Jason-Corey Larson pairing I have in my Pleasantview hood. Three bolt couple that met in a bar one day. Every other second is sexy time. It doesn't help that they're both perma-plat, and it doesn't make too much sense because they're both Fortune sims. My other triple-bolters are relatively moderate in the romance department, especially my triple-bolting romance sims.

I've had two bolt couples act like three bolt couples though. Apollo Hunter in Veronaville jumped the sack with Frances J. Worthington III about three seconds after meeting, and they're two bolt. It was both sad and funny at the same time.

Simblr.
I'm also on GoS. I go on here for the community, not really for the downloading. Just being honest.

I put Johnny Smith in with the Student Housing household and deliberately let everybody free-range a lot. Johnny autonomously charmed Klara Vonderstein, and since then she's been throwing herself at his head. They flirt on their own, kiss on their own, make out on their own, fell in love on their own, sleep in the same bed on their own - they don't roll wants having to do with each other, so they're still virgins, but - there they are. I'm a long way from deciding what to do about it, too.

Nervous and Annie Subject -- are constantly holding hands and kissing, etc. They havent autonomosly woohoo'ed yet -- can they do that? And can they auto try for a baby ? Also what does ACR mean -- keep seeing it in posts but can't figure out what it is.

If you don't have ACR, your Sims can flirt autonomously but they can't woohoo without you directing them. With ACR they can woohoo autonomously by use of a timer. It can be annoying because their timer runs down and they just have to woohoo when you want them to do something else (like taking care of the kids. I almost had twin toddlers taken away by the social worker because the three bolt parents where woohooing instead of feeding the toddlers. The only thing that saved them was the wife's Freetime benefit to plead with the social worker). They can only autonomously try for baby with ACR, not in a game without the mod.

Romance sims' timers run down every 24 hours whereas Knowledge sims' timers are set for... longer. Don't remember the exact figure. But anyway, these default settings can be changed for each sim. Autonomous woohoos interactions can also be cancelled out.

He never got a chance to talk to her because she left immediately afterwards, but he rolled wants for her for the next three days. Also Don Lothario constantly wants to ask out/kiss/flirt with Brandi Broke - and he has negative chemistry with her! I think some sims are just very highly sexed. ETA: Actually, thinking about it, these are both Romance sims I'm talking about, that probably has a lot to do with it.

He has the cross-bolt (word?) with a woman in my Pleasantview, Casey. They make out with each other the first time they met. And that thing made Don break up with Nina, who naked-eye-ly (word??) watching that whole moment. HELP MEEE~~
