I'm having fun seeing what happens if I don't just shoot for a dream date, but let the sims do their own thing.
I'll have to try that. Doesn't it crash and burn pretty quickly? The time limit is short, in my experience Sims rarely fulfill their Wants autonomously.
Meh, depends on the sims. An outgoing and playful one matched with another of the same type might do a lot of dancing and playing, so they actually don't do as badly as I expect them to. Sometimes I might make them fill a want or two simply for more time, but mostly the dates remind me a lot of my old dates. You know, standing around and rocking back on forth on my feet while looking around the room for an escape route.
Now I'm starting to wonder how to make a date end really really badly. I guess picking fights would work, but that's so obvious. Pranking could work, but you never know. I've seen sims laugh when they were ventrillo farted, even when the relationship was zero.

I play with a lot of rules like this. For example, when my Sims hit college, I won't have them do class-related stuff like term papers or assignments unless they have a Want for it. Since it's trivial to get a 4.0 grade if you make any effort at all, it becomes a game to see which Sims will graduate with based on their own "efforts." I do make them study the required skills, since many aspirations never roll "get a skill point."
I need to try that.

The obvious thing is to fulfill some Fears, since you get Dream Dates through Wants. However, a little experimentation showed that to be very difficult. Date fears are all things like "reject Entertainment" which almost never happens.
I did find a way to do it, though. First I flirted up to Crush, and fulfilled a few Wants so I had some time. The date was "great" at that point. Then I Influenced my date to flirt with a stranger, which of course resulted in immediate fury. That got me to "bad." Then I attacked, since Fury opened that up. That sent me straight to Horrible. Absolute bottom, and the whole date meter got a red tinge.
