It doesn't matter how close any two Sims seem, whether just platonically or romantically, those relationships do decay. It seems that once a high level is achieved, the decay slows down a bit, but giving Freddie the cold shoulder (especially after a hot date) completely gives the wrong message. Rather than capitalize on the high relationship score, she just assumes everything is fine and doesn't even call Freddie for a week. That's a very high romantic relationship score! Freddie automatically leaves after the date concludes, but Christine hears wedding bells in her head. Odd grammar usage aside, Freddie accepted it, and they are officially an item. By the time the date is over, Christine uses the Romance. She took the relationship slow enough that, once she started in with the romance, Freddie was receptive to it. She spends the rest of the date aggressively using romantic-type interactions, which are going over great. Plus, the objectives steer you in the correct direction to maximize your gains for the event anyway (in this case romantic relationship scores).Ĭhristine performs admirably, achieving gold level before even getting halfway to the time limit.
#THE SIMS 4 NO ONE AT ROMANCE FESTIVAL FREE#
Getting the gold does not confer any direct relationship bonuses, but it does give your household free items. You generally must fulfill the main objectives and all but one minor objectives in order to achieve a gold level. When a minor objective is fulfilled, it disappears off the list and is replaced with another, until the social event is out of objectives. This fulfills one of the minor objectives in the process. Christine has no plans to do that, so she sits down with Freddie to chat. The time limit is shown to the right of the score bar, and you can click it to end the date early. This is much easier than it may sound, given that you have many hours to complete this. The main objective, the one responsible for the majority of the score, is to socialize with her date 20 times. As the date starts, no medals are there yet, but at least Christine can see the objectives. An objective list appears along the left edge of the screen, along with a horizontal meter that displays the “score” in three levels: bronze, silver, and gold. The date starts, and this is a formal event. Freddie is receptive, so they both instantly teleport to the park. Christine opens her Relationships Panel, clicks on Freddie's picture, then chooses “Ask on Date.” She is taken to the map, where she selects the park as the venue. Sims don't exist in a vacuum of informality a date is not just an informal name given to a hang out between romantic interests. Now that she knows Freddie is decently compatible, she decides it's time they try to have a real date. It's only when it's close to 50% and they're officially friends when Christine decides to step up her game. Again, other than the occasional flirt, she keeps things innocent and focuses on improving the friendship score for now. She calls up Freddie now and then, inviting him over for lunch or otherwise just to hang out and improve relationship scores. The days pass as Christine lives her life. It's not the best progress, but it is progress. Whatever it takes to get those relationship meters high. She also chooses to share a story of her peeing her pants, which is weird, but apparently Freddie and another Sim are into it. Christine continues to speak pleasantly, sneaking in a flirt here and there, but ultimately keeps everything friendly for now.
Luck isn't on her side, but it doesn't matter. At best, maybe Freddie is a Geek too, allowing for Christine to steer her conversation topics a certain direction. At worst, it will help to see whether they are incompatible. > Get To Know interaction, since that will reveal his Traits. The best weapon at her disposal is the Friendly. Rather than immediately hitting on Freddie, she just converses with him pleasantly. She uses her Confident Emotion to learn that he's single.Ĭhristine remembers her learned lessons. Because Sims can speak to each other while doing almost any other action, she starts conversing with him while they're both pumping iron. Since Freddie is working out anyway, Christine decides to start exercising at a nearby weight machine as well.
