Is it only my sims, or they all actually like to flirt with anything that moves?
caterpillar:
I have story progression on and autonomy set high, and I get very few inter-townie marriages. I was getting tons of clone spawn before I turned off parthenogenesis. Now that I've got parthenogenesis off, the partnerless Sims are adopting spawn from nowhere. ::)
EdenNintyNine:
I've been playing Riverview for a few days now and noticed that independent relationships are much rarer than they were in Sunset Valley. So far the only changes in relationships I've noticed are the ones I broke up!
Also: as flawed as the jealousy thing may be, when I had my sims break up Yuri and his wife, both the wife and the kids had my sim as nemesis. At least that seems a bit more realistic!

I don't see any inappropriate flirting, though there was a gossip that somebody was cheating.
Does gossip actually make it around the neighborhood now?

It does! I've noticed very little gossip which I did not create- beyond of course 'X is rich!' or 'Y is broke! Laugh at their pathetic life choices!'. Though I have gotten some incest and cheating ones which I did not cause, though the break-up gossip seems to only reflect my nefarious actions.
Gossip also seems to exclude anything relating to job-action, kleptomania, or other good produced (books, paintings and produce); though I could be mistaken, but I have not noticed any of those topics come up.
Roflganger:
Gossip is so weak in TS3. 99% of time, it's "Did you hear so-and-so is rich? I never would have guessed!" The biggest problem with that is the game seems to have an extremely low threshhold for who is considered rich - I think just about every Sim's name has come up.
Worse is "Word is that Sim A was flirting with Sim B." Not very salacious when Sim A is in a committed relationship with Sim B. Or "Sim Soandso has a dark secret", but when I have Sim Soandso reveal her secret to someone, it apparently has something to do with cooking. Oh, you deviant, you.
Also, when I was doing genetics testing in an empty hood, my Sims, who had never met any of their neighbors, managed to gossip about how rich Mortimer Goth is, just moments out of CAS. (I specifically tested this to see if it would be the case).
To answer the post just above mine - gossip will occasionally mention someone being promoted.
