Autonomous Casual Romance

I just installed ACR.

That is all. ;)

Ophelia: Wanna make out?

Johnny: YES!!!

Random college student: Get a room!

Ripp: *is generally okay with this*

Many, MANY makeouts later... (easily more than 10)

Ripp: *is still generally cool with this*

Not a care in the world...

So, ummm.... jealousy? What jealousy?

(I didn't adjust a thing, by the way.)

Johnny isn't jealous either. He's a 2/4 on the jealousy scale, so he won't kick Ripp's ass unless Phi has a wedding ring on her finger. Phi is 3/4 on the jealousy scale (requires some form of commitment to get jealous, but that wouldn't really apply anyway), and Ripp is... you guessed it... 0/4. He really doesn't give a shit.

Nobody has made any move to woohoo anyone yet and I've played through about a day with them. I wonder when that kicks in?

Anyway, I'm liking this so far. You can adjust things to your liking, so it's pretty easy to control. I've finally jumped on the bandwagon. Go me!

Now, I'm off to play with Pleasantview a little... I'm working it up in the "background" for my story. ACR should be a fun time there.

Heeee! Welcome to the dark side! *DUN DUN DUUUUUN!*

I usually don't adjust things on the ACR. I only read the manual once and just randomly click on stuff :P.

Oh, you just wait until those three graduate. With a family sim as Phi and a half-family like Ripp, you'll better keep a close eye on those two or you'll be flooded with babies :D. You can adjust that, of course, but the silly randomness is fun too!

Tee hee hee. You gave in to the pressure!!!

Even with 3 bolters, its possible for them to not do much. Both have to be currently not busy, and there has to be an open bed/couch/hot tub/photo booth. :P You can also set how strong the autonomy is from really low to high. If you want them woohooing more, maybe turn it up?

Just be aware that this affects when you have sims on community lots too. Like if you're playing Ripp, and he goes downtown and you see Frances in the background out of your control, it is possible for Frances to use ACR to fool around with whoever else is on the lot. :P So be careful!

I've been toying with the idea of adding this for ages, and I think it'll be a lot of fun for the areas of the story where I don't have any plans. I can always control things if I have to.

:D Nothing like a little randomness to stir things up, right?

Yeah, I'd better watch my back with the breeding. Those "condoms" might start breaking all over the place. :P Johnny's half family too.

Ooh, imagine this with the silent pregnancy hack. We could all play the game of "Who's Phi's babydaddy?".

I'm suprised that you haven't had a lot of random woohoo. Johnny knocked up Cordi (one of my characters) minutes after I installed.

It wasn't pressure. It was sweet, sweet temptation. ;)

Oh, they were busy... busy making out. They all stood around congratulating eahc other and kissing, etc., so I wouldn't call that busy, really. :P I think they're all on high autonomy too. How long does it take them to get ACR "horny"?

Oh dear god... Frances really could decide to put the moves on Ripp... or Tank... or any number of guys he's hot for. LOL! This is going to be entertaining.

In a worst-case scenario, I could always exit a community lot without saving, so I'm just going to roll with it.

Is that hack updated? *evil grin* That would be hilarious.

Johnny strikes me as a bit of sureshot like that. I'll be watching him very carefully.

I think your story about Cordi and Johnny is so cool. I want to see something like that happen.

I've had sims woohoo at the drop of a hat. They wake up, they're both in the same room, so they go at it. :P

When it comes to babies, you do have the option of turning off the Try for a baby dialog. I know I do. That way you can control the breeding. Unless you want people to have tons of babies. You could have your own Jerry Springer Show or something. XD

I didn't know Johnny was half-family too! No wonder those three have so much chemistry between them, with all those compatible aspirations :D.

The first "condom rupture" I had in my game was amusing (that's how Cody was born), but it quickly got old, especially when my families grew larger. There's a a "next day pill" option (complete with "animation", aka the sim drinks a glass of water) for that.

I think I gave everyone in the extended Curious family that aspiration if they didn't already have it. They're just a family-focused bunch to me (and I really could see Johnny with any of the other aspirations, expect for maybe fortune, and that would also be compatible with family).

*snicker* The morning after pill animation has me laughing. That's too good. I'm really glad they give you that option. It's nice to have a way out if it gets out of control. I did the "have 10 kids" want once before and I don't plan to do it again.

I want to see that! Why, why won't they just do it? *snicker*

I really just want to see who first makes a move on who. Ripp and Phi haven't slept together, so maybe that keeps him from advancing on her? Johnny and Phi prefer to just make out, it seems. He really is saving it for marriage, I think.

I probably will turn off those options for sections of the story where I need control. I have plans for certain things. But otherwise... the randomness will be fun.

Yay, ACR! The many make-outs get annoying after some time. It's just like "YES, YOU'RE IN LOVE LALALALALA DO SOMETHING ELSE YOU'RE GOING TO DIE." They don't listen, they just get undressed and woohoo in front of their children in the living room. XD

Maybe they didn't woohoo because the autonomous setting is..set to medium or low?

Just because they haven't done it yet doesn't make them less likely. I've had sims give it up for the first time with someone who's barely a friend in sim terms. They were maybe 60/10, and boom, sex. I guess it just depends on the person. :P

Randomness can be fun.....unless you already have 7 sims in the house and twins pop out. D:

Welcome to the League of ACR Addicts. :)

It's a fun mod to play with, and I think most of us that try it never want to go back to playing without it. I know it certainly helps make up my mind on who my sims pair off with. Mostly because they're telling me to sit down and shut up as they're getting it on with who they want to. :)

I love me some ACR. As long as I have InSim and ACR, I am a happy happy simmer. Welcome to the clique!

DUDE, I MUST BE DREAMING! XD

Seriously though, ACR is fun. And you actually won't see as much autonomous interactions unless you put it on the highest level like I did in the asylum. When I have it like that it doesn't really do much for me either- only occasional flirting and makeouts.

Do you play in the megahood, or did you just add clones to Strangetown?

Yay! :D You`ll never play without it again, I assure you. ;)

I use clones. It's easier to control. I wouldn't want that many people from other hoods strolling by all the time.

Ooh, I've been waiting for someone to be a real guinea pig for this.

I'm interested in the nitty gritty. Installation and set up? Pain in the ass? I was a bit intimidated with what appeared to be a "you have to set everyone and the hood and. . .blahblahblah".

But are you using your "real" characters or just clones? Did you get your whole game working or are you still running only base and AL (I think I missed something somewhere).

Well, judging by the comments, everyone else uses it already. Come join us, Madame... Give in to the peeeeer pressure. *offers toke of ACR*

I didn't even have to install it at all. It was automatic. I dropped it in the downloads folder, and then it set itself up when I entered the game. If the tokens don't install, you can just spawn the adjuster and "add token to neighourhood" or something like that. It's easy.

If you want some special setting for a sim (and the menu is easy to understand and comes with instructions), you have to do that individually, but the game decides on settings, based on the sim's personalities anyway, and they seem pretty fitting.

Those are the real sims. I'm just going to go for it. I'm living dangerously.

I have all the EP/SPs added back in now, and so far, so good...

Umm, hello? Wasn't I a guinea pig with your Aggie staining all of the beds in the asylum's sheets? *snicker*

I didn't get into the nitty gritty though- I'll leave it up to Strange to do that. I agree- JOIN US!!!

Wait, what? A next day pill option? In ACR? I've missed it! Where?/??????

I think it's in the "pregnancy" tab. Obviously, your sim must be pregnant and within the first 24 hours of the pregnancy.

I love ACR. I got it for the one sim and setting gender preferences, but it's made me laugh out loud more times than I can count! :D

Not everyone =P I'm still here on the outside looking in & not yet daring. Generation 5 are far too interested in each other's partners for me to dare install ACR. "Oi! Alter is this way. Stop heart farting my cousin & marry me like you supposedly want to."

I love that Ripp really doesn't give a shit. That's just perfect for him isnt it. XD
