Date gifts
SnootCB:
I read (don't remember where) that it could have something to do with leaving out the date flowers. That is, you are more likely to get a gift if you refrain from selling at least one bunch of roses from a previous date. This is total heresy, and probably total BS, of course.
professorbutters:
Well. . .I don't think it can be the date flowers, because I rarely sell those. At the Greek House, I did have an invisible date gift once that got stuck. Trying to figure out where it was so I could nuke it was fun. Eventually I noticed my sims stepping over something near the front door, dropped the stuck objects remover on it, and when it was burninated I found out what it was.
It was a bottle of champagne.
Cheapskates.
I've heard the theory (from Ephemeral Toast) that it's got something to do with how much the relationship score goes up during the course of the dates. I'm wondering if it has something to do with how many of your *date's* wants are fulfilled. I often stop at the point when I hit Dream Date, and if the date is rolling up dumb wants I can't fulfill, I don't sweat it.
I have a lot of married couples dating at home and of course they never receive gifts, but I sure would like to see more at the Greek House.
I do have one playable who is maxed Nice, and he is a super generous date. He dated a girl in high school and left a hot tub; dated a guy in college whom he eventually married and left a Bust of Tylopoda. Now THAT'S a keeper.

I love it when they marry in and bring crap like that. I had one marry-in who brought a poker table, two dance spheres, a DJ booth, and that $4,000 vase. Lately, my marry-ins have been big 'ol disappointments. Not the game's fault...I've just had almost everyone marrying college sweethearts and professors.

You can increase the odds of a marry-in having a boatload of stuff in their inventory with owned businesses, especially if you allow YAs to shop there with the customer selector. Though I'm currently playing the new hood that came with FT (Desiderata, I think it's called?) with no owned businesses yet, and I had a playable marry her college love and the YA came into the house with over 50,000 simoleans worth of stuff...
Zazazu:
Hunh. That's odd. None of my YA marry-ins have ever come with anything, in any 'hood. Though I am looking forward to all of the townies/YAs who start bringing cars from Vrooom! Autos in their inventory. So far, the only bought items I get are the crates of veggies and fish. Those are never from YAs as the current market is quite small and a residential business. If the mayor deems to build a farmer's market, Tobias Outlaw will set up shop there.
