My sims break up as soon as they get to a downtown lot.
Twibil:
I have had Nervous and his GF go out on dates downtown before, and they have always had dream dates. Then one day all of a sudden, this started happening. They can have dream dates at their homes, but not downtown. This happened I guess a couple of days ago, but until then, I had no problems taking them downtown for a date together.
I have had troubles with Nervous before. I think he may just be a glitchy maxis made sim. A few weeks ago, I turned on the game one day and couldn't load up his lot, it kept crashing. I hadn't changed anything in my downloads or hacks, but everytime I tried to load his lot, it crashed. I also seem to remember that when I first got the game I had troubles with his family (Circe and Loki). (I did a full re-install a few months later when I upgraded my video card - it was like playing an entirely different game.)
I guess it really isn't a big deal,I mean it is just a game. I just wanted to have Nervous Propose to his GF at a swanky restaraunt. I just would really love to know what is causing this.
On a side note, I am really annoyed by part of this whole dating aspect of the game. In order to have a "dream date" you pretty much end up making the sims fall in love with eachother. This causes no end of problems if you have your sim have dream dates with a couple different people. Someone always shows up on the downtown lot that they have dated before and then they have to go through the whole "cheated on" scenario. It gets really tiresome and frustrating.
Ancient Sim:
As someone mentioned earlier, I sometimes don't want the dates to fall in love or even get a crush, so I try to keep things fairly light. Unfortunately, they often autonomously flirt and affect that and there have been several occasions where the date has ended with them still just being friends until the autonomous kiss they do right after the date ends. Several times I've seen that create a crush or a falling in love situation. The teens behave totally differently, too. One of mine had 2 lightning bolts for another teen she'd once brought home from school - I got him to invite her over and she walked right up to him and sweet-talked him, even though they weren't even friends (they were 29/29 or thereabouts). After they went on a couple of dates they were best friends and in love with 3 lightning strikes.
Oh, and I didn't realise that picture was Nervous. It looks like Michael Stipe from REM!

Hehe. Loki did so many experiments on him that all of his hair fell out!
I figured it out!
I almost ashamed to say, because of how stupid I have been - for the past 3 days no less! It al began when I had Nervous and Molly on a date on a downtown lot. It was to be the date when he proposed. They were sitting at the table eating when one of the guys Molly dated before Nervous walks into the place. He smacks her around a bit, and the date meter tanks. I ask you, what would you do? I exited without saving. I went to Nervous' lot and immediately asked Molly out on a date again. Because I hadn't played her lot at all, I guess that the game/computer thought she was still downtown on a date, and whenever they would go downtown again, I got the error. Because I kept having to exit without saving when the game errored, I just kept repeating the cycle. All I had to do was play both of the lots long enough for both of them to be home from their dates, and all was well when they went out the next time.
Feel free to poke me with sticks now.
MistressBoleyn:
That actually makes perfect sense! Which is probably why nobody thought of it sooner. Who'd have thought of this game making sense? ;) I think we're all so accustomed to the little glitches that when something like that happens we immediately jump to the conclusion that it's a bug.
Nah, no stick poking from me.... I'd have done the same thing as you.
Velda:
I've had the "you're dumping me for someone else" message, too, but from repeatedly asking the gypsy for blind dates without ending the date the Sim was already on. It's the easiest way to get the flaming bag of poo, for anyone who wants to see it. I managed to get Cassandra Goth about five of them in one night. Mortimer was a bit upset. It was pretty entertaining, but I did exit the lot without saving, because I didn't want quite that many enemies.
