Romance Lock (New Version)
Many people asked me about this mod, so here we are. This is a new version, integrated with Maxis new romantic system.
This mod requires the Core Library

Long Description:
Before the Sims have 10 points in the romance bar, they can't really move forward in their relationship. Sims that already have a lot of romance, like premades or your own Sims, will not be impacted. To start a relationship, all new Sims will have to do the following:
If the romance between two Sims who are already together drops below 10 points, the development will be locked again. They will have to restart their relationship in order to keep it alive:
Interactions can fail, and other Sims can start a relationship autonomously with a played Sim (autonomy is tied to the enamoured sentiment).

will this affect NPC townies as well, since i also want other sim that i don't play to develope relationship as well, but have more control to mine
Only played Sims.
THANK YOU! I don't like how even a compliment can give me a pink bar. I mainly play an aromantic, asexual sim, and I don't want her constantly starting romance just because she thanks a guy for putting out a fire.
I'd like a mod that let Sims flirt, woohoo, whatever but not have to fall in love with one or the other. Flirting is fun, its kind of sick that they have to be romantic and in love every time! That's not realistic at all. It should be a simple thing to just not be romantic, or especially adult or murdering Sims as some mods take it a bit too far.
This lets Sims flirt without building a relationship. Both MCCC and wicked whims should have options for no strings woohoo.
