Are NPCs supposed to go on unsupervised dates?
SaraMK:
My NPCs, including iconic hobbyists, townies, vacation locals, and even a burglar, have been sneaking behind my back and going on dates. The burglar, for example, managed to sneak out on a date with an iconic hobbyist the day after burglarizing my playable sim's house. The burglar's memories are Lost Fight (to cop), First Date with Mandy (the hobbyist), and Had Bad Date with Mandy. Mandy seems to be pretty popular, because she's been on dates with a few other NPCs.
I don't have any autonomous romance mods.
Are they supposed to be doing this? I'm having a vision of loading one of my playable families and finding their relationships trashed.
Ichigo:
That sounds bad. Of course, years of playing this game have made me very trigger-happy :D so I can't say for sure it's a BFBVFS. Did you try taking out all hacks? Do you have any other tomfoolery?
SaraMK:
It's a pretty new neighborhood (Gen 1 of my playables), and nothing else seems to be wrong with it. I only noticed this issue while giving some townies makeovers.
Taking out hacks would be a good step, but I have no idea how long I would need to run the neighborhood to see if the problem does or doesn't happen. I've been playing for about three months and only a few of these autonomous dates have happened. Anyway, it seems like a hack that would cause this sort of behavior would have to be either modding dating, romance, or memories. I already checked for that, and don't have anything non-awesome.
Because the memories are so perfect (in the correct order, nothing else out of the ordinary about them), my first thought was that EAxis added this as a "feature" (like a replacement for Mystery Sims memories) in FT or AL and I just didn't notice until now.
Ichigo:
Did you make this neighborhood yourself? You avoided all the verbotten stuff like DAC w/o a cleanup of SWAFs, lotbinning, dicking around with untouchable NPCs? The only thing I can think of is run the Neighborhood Corruption Detector (available at MTS2) and see if it says anything worth note.

Since Sara is the original creator of the clean templates, I would bet not. I have my game open now. I'll summon a few NPCs and have a look.
EDIT: This tells you exactly nothing, but I was curious. I summoned all of my Hobby leaders and no one had memories they shouldn't.
