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.
Have you tried flamingo hacks? I highly doubt it's more complex than it should be. (In fact, I've been mulling over how to properly mitigate its effects.)

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. :)
I think the major flaw with the idea is that most others don't share your opinion that ACR is too complex. There are many settings to modify the behaviour of particular sims, but if you feel that it is too complicated you can just stick it in and see what happens. The complexity of the hack accounts for the diversity of reactions, which I still find amazing (For example: Melody Tinker could still not bring herself to do teen woohoo after making a booty call to her boyfriend, with my current generation of teenagers thinking very different about this issue).
I could be wrong, but my guess is that you read the description for ACR but haven't tried it out yet.
Apart from that, the original attraction system that is in the game already allows for romantic interactions below a certain relationship level, if the attraction between two sims is high enough.
The only difference I can see would be the introduction of "temporary" attraction as a result of romantic interaction, meaning that one sim might hop into bed with another on one particular night, but not the next day when the magic has passed. I quite like that idea. ACR does not have such a feature, the timer goes down steadily unless they get to woohoo, although it usually works like that.

The love potion effect comes pretty close to the temporay attraction thing. Together with ACR, it can result in some really interesting combinations ^^. It's a pity that the potion can never be used autonomously, but on the other hand, it gives you at least a little bit of control ;D.

I find it too complex because it is cluttered and lacking in usability (too many dialogs, for example). I admit that it is a personal and subjective choice, but I rather doubt that most others do not share that opinion.
