Idea: "Arousal" meter
MattyDienhoff:
While eating breakfast this morning, I was thinking about TS2 and, more specifically, the way relationships work in it. Then an idea hit me. As we all know, in the unmodded game, all romantic relationships are a slow steady climb to 100-70 followed by the Sims in question falling in love. It's not particularly realistic, especially not for Romance sims, because there are no one night stands or casual relationships. I realise that there are mods like ACR to improve on this, but to be honest, I think they're too complex for their own good.
Anyway, the idea I came up with is: Each Sim would have an "Arousal" meter. Basically, most of the romantic interactions, like flirting, kissing, slow dancing and the romantic hugs would gradually fill the meter. (the speed at which they fill up for both parties would be determined by their mutual chemistry, so they'd both fill up at the same speed) Then, if time passes and no further interaction takes place to keep filling the bar, it would gradually empty again.
Anyway, once the bar is full, both Sims would accept higher-level interactions, like Make Out and Woohoo, (even if their relationship was only 80-20, for example) that normally wouldn't be accessible till 100-70.
I realise that this idea isn't perfect, but it's simple and functional and I haven't been able to poke any significant holes in it yet. But that's why I'm posting it here. Fire away. :)

It is not feasible as it would involve major retooling of the entire user interface. Suggest it for TS2. Right now, the closest proxy would be noinstantlove.

Suggest it for TS2.
That's what he was doing, silly Pes.
It would be a really cool idea, though.
