Fortune Sim Wanting to Quit Work?
gali:
"Now all he thinks about and wants is her. He never has a want for his wife, but strangely enough, never has, whilst she is smitten with him." (Dark)
First, all family sims are programmed to wish to cheat on their spouses, and one of their fears is that they will be caught on cheating.
Second, it happens a lot, when the husband concentrates more on his lover female than his wife - it happened to me with Vidcund, and Lazlo, when I married them to townies; when I restored a previous saved neighbourhood, and married them to my CAS sims - they never showed attraction for another woman. I thing the cause is, that the couple doesn't fit.
But, if you have SimPe - you can solve this problem, by reducing the relationship of the husband with his lover to -60/-60, and delete (uncheck) the "crush/love" signs - I always do it, when I see that one of the spouses doesn't show romantic wishes for his/her mate.
I had it in the college too: Ophelia and Johnny Smith lived together, and even one of their fers was that they will be left at the altar, i.e., strong wish to be married.
Then I sent Jill Smith to the college, and as she was in love with David Gibson - I sent him too, to live with her. As Ophelia and Johnny were Secret Society members, I befriended them with David (with Jill they were already friends).
Suddenly, Ophelia and Johnny showed each day a wish to call David to chat, and stopped showing romantic wishes for each other - while they were my most devoted couple. David, on his side, was fully in love with Jill only.
So, I reduced the relationship between David and the Smith couple to -60/-60 (better to lose the SS membership) - and after that Ophelia and Johnny returned to be the same devoted couple as they were at the beginning.

Gali,
I have never seen any family sim have a want to cheat before and I've had alot of them (family sims). So it is a surprise to me that its prgrammed into them. The only time I have seen the 'get caught cheating' fear is when they have infact cheated.
And are you saying that putting a sim created from maxis made parents (Castor Nova and Heather Huffington = Castor Jr.) with my CAS made sim would lead to this behaviour? Cause the 'other woman' is CAS made, as his her husband and they love each other, have lots of wants for each other, regardless of her making out with the man in question, Castor Jr.
Interesting stuff if your're correct. I wouldn't think that in-game made, or CAS sims would have issues with each other. I haven't had it happen to this extent before but I like it. I won't change their relationship scores in SimPE, I'll just accept that Castor Jr doesn't love his wife as much as she loves him and somehow make him move on perhaps. Not sure yet.
Castor Jr. also shows many wants for his siblings too. Just never his wife. He is starting to show wants for his kids, now that they are children. He wanted nothing to do with them as babies. He never ran to his wife for the birth either. He's just an arse I reckon. Good looking one though. Time he found his own place I think.
Cheers

Maybe he should have had the romance aspiration?

Check the astrological sign of your "indifferent" sim, his wife, and his lover - than change the wife's astrological sign to be the same as his lover. Perhaps it will help.
I just hate to move out a husband, and struggle to the end to keep them together, using all the tricks (cheats) possible: give them new astrological signs, reducing relationships, and even deleting or killing the lover, if he/she is a single sim.
If they have kids - it's traumatic experience for the kids; even if it's only a game - I can'r bear it...:).
I am surprised you didn't have a family sim with cheat on wants. If you look at a single family sim, their first wish is "fall in love" - no matter with whom.
This is what the Official Guide says:
"Family (aspiration)
sample wants: gain skill in cooking and cleaning, interact with family, FALL IN LOVE (my emphasis), get engaged/marry/join, have lots of children, remarry if widowed or left, ROMANTIC INTERACTIONS WITH LOVED SIMS (my emphasis), encourage personality traits in their children"
So, they are programmed that way...:).
Darkstormyeve:
Ahhh..I see what you mean Gali. Yep, I have had "fall in love" wants, but its not cheating if its with a single unattached family sim. I thought you meant that your family sims were having romance sim wants on a regular basis.
