Open relationship help
striker:
I'm going to try to finally take a stab at creating a romance sim and following it through till the end. I have the romance mod and i want to eventually get a few sims into a open relationship. What things should I be on the lookout for and how would be the best to start?
Venusy:
Probably the best way to start is with Macro.../Socialize.../Romantic if you have the AutoSocialiser installed. After that, I have no idea.

You need JM's Romance mod to take away some of the slapping ;D.
I haven't experimented with it too much because I dislike tormenting my sims. Just read the RTFM again, and it removes "spazzing" of sims for random reasons, and "cheating" only counts if you're caught by a partner in a committed relationship. Nonetheless, it still doesn't go far enough for me. I'm non-monogamous in real life, and my partners know about each other and approve - the three of us spend time together socially, and they even do stuff together without me. However, I think the only way I could make sims of myself & my partners without slapping would be to make us all Romance sims, and that's not right - they'd both be Knowledge sims. Or I'll just have to make sure that none of us are engaged or married in the game (I assume that "steady" in the RTFM refers to the teens' "Going Steady"?) so that we don't count as being in a "committed" relationship :-\.
In general the "cheating" stuff in TS2 annoys me. Cuddling on the sofa is NOT cheating!! Or put it this way, if it is, I've cheated with about 20 different people, some of whom were of incompatible sexual orientation. I know that no-jealousy mods exist, but I'm allergic to mods from random sources, and I want no-jealousy to apply only to certain sims in certain relationships. I mean, I'm not jealous about one of my partner's other partner because their relationship predates ours, but you bet I'd be jealous if she suddenly got involved with someone new that I didn't even know...

You have to be very careful not to be caught cheating - that's the main issue.
Without cheats: choose the wife work at days, and the husband work at nights - two different carrers. They will have different days-off, so you can fulfill their romantic wishes.
If you don't want them to cheat too much - you can send them to same job (preferable slackers). They can't bring friends home from work, and they always come with the main wish - "woohoo", no matter with whom...:). When they have days off together, you can invite the lover to the community; take care that the clothes rackes are in a room with door, thus you won't be disturbed when doing public woohoo.
With cheats/hacks: The most comfortable situation is, when there is no jelousy. Now you can woohoo in front of your spouse, and she can do it that too - and all are happy...:).
Download the hack "nojelousyatall" from Mod the Sims 2 (search nojelousyatall).
The second thing you need is buyable community object in residential houses. You can find it too in MTS2.
The romance sims likes to woohoo in tub, then in bed, or public woohoo. Buy a clothes rack and a booth, and keep them in your yard, close to the bedroom. After work, the spouse can fulfill all 3 wishes, and the husband will be satisfied, and won't ask too much to cheat.
I had whole romance neighbourhood - once I played without cheats, and once - with hacks. I have to say that I enjoyed it much more to play with the hacks...:).

Forgot one important tip:
Always engage and marry the romance sims, in spite of their fear of it. But do it wisely: ambush them to see when the fear of engage/marriage is off (it frequently is off, because of the woohoo wishes, lol), and then hurry and engage them. They will have bad memory, but won't pay aspiration points. Again ambush them, then marry them quickly.
Again ambush them, and try for baby...:).
By the way, they are awesome parents, and are mad about their kids.
