Ruby Broke is madly in love with almost every guy in town. LOL.
That's because she's Flirty. Apparently Flirty=Slutty (who knew?).
Well the way the game works flirty is pretty much slutty, cept they couldn't call it that. Since I'm seeing these endless hookups while playing a different active family I had no idea this behavior was trait related. It funny cause she marries one guy, and then she's all over the place with every other guy. As long as everyone in my game isn't a skank I can deal. Though from the romance updates I get it feels like they all are skanks. Maybe the Riverview default sims have a lot of flirts.
J. M. Pescado:
Sims who haven't achieved the level of a committed relationship tend to play the field a bit. A romance event firing doesn't necessarily guarantee a romance instantly starts, it has to build up a bit first before the hearts start to appear, after which the weighting will increase so that sim will focus in a bit more. But it's not until they hit Partnered status that they really focus.

I looked around and it seems like the ones with flirty have 4 or 5 maxxed out people they are in love with and everyone else has none. And I just finished playing through a generation on normal age and not a single child was conceived the entire time. For me that's the most important function of story mode, so my town doesn't die out in a generation. Now that I think of it, there was no immigration either.

Well, the non-slutty version is "Hopeless Romantic". At one point in the dev process, there was a "wanton" trait, which specifically covered slutty without anything else, but prior to the release of the game, EAxis dropped it. The actual trait icon is still apparently present in the game.
I'm sure it was deemed not PG13 enough and they were afraid the BBS kiddies might ask their parents what wanton meant. :P

Immigration only happens if you NEED a new person in town. Like if you get a boss but no bosses are valid... one will immigrate into your town to become the boss.
As far as babies go... Try putting some cribs in houses... They need a crib to store the larvae before having kids. They might also need an extra bedslot so that when the kid grows up he can sleep somewhere. I'm not sure about the bedslot thing though.
It is kind of a pain in the ass... but the upside is in theory you can control how many kids are born or how few. If you test it out and it works (or doesn't work)... let us know so Pescado can continue making adjustments.
