Date gifts
professorbutters:
I did a search on this.
Is there some sort of logic as to which sims leave date gifts, and which don't? My sims don't get date gifts very often. I assumed it was because my sims mostly don't 'hoo anyone they're not married to, and even then it's usually to procreate.
I've gotten gifts from townies and playables. Teens seem especially generous--we've had several hot tubs left at the legacy house over the generations. The Diva also left us a Dance Sphere once, but heavy duty lesbian photobooth WooHoo was involved. On the other hand, Remington Harris left a wide screen TV that he couldn't possibly afford way back when, and he didn't get *anywhere* significant with my heiress (until, of course, he married her and they had ten kids, with no WooHoo in between.) Most of the time, though, we just get those bouquets. At one of my college houses, they totally block the road.
I'd like to know if there are any theories on this or if anyone has made a study of it, because I sure would like to exploit this if I could.

I think if they only have a "Great Date" instead of a "Dream Date" they're more likely to leave gifts. I never, ever get gifts from dates. I think I got a hot-tub once, but that's about it.

I just recently finished getting the "50 Dream Dates" and "Woo-Hoo With 20 Sims" LTWs, and I can confirm it's not a difference between "great date" and "dream date". Both sims hit "dream date" almost every time. Miss "50 Dream Dates" also didn't woo-hoo until right before she got engaged, but she got the dance sphere and two plasma TVs.
One pattern I noticed: sims seem to drop off gifts on the night after their date, not the same night (like with flowers.) If you date the same sim several nights in a row, that sim won't drop off gifts, because he's already on the lot.

I've noticed this pattern too, although my sims seem to get more gifts from outings rather than dates.

I once had a sim I'd just invited out to a community lot (not a scored outing) leave a gift.
I've found that some 'hoods are more giving than others, too. In Urban Paradise, it was near impossible to have a date without getting a gift. The father of all my Ghetto Fabulous sim's kids gave about six gifts before he was tapped out. Prospect Beach was so-so on the gifts, and there have been none to date received at Teardrop Isle (but honestly, I don't have them date all that much, just come over and hang out). I've always wished they'd pull something they bought at another lot out as a gift. I'd love it if someone dropped off a crate of cucumbers.
