✮ // ⋆ TOTES "SIMPLE" BUGFIX DESCRIPTION:

For some odd reason, the Tuning resource that defines who can gain romance with who is missing the age tag that prevents TEENS from gaining romance with ADULTS.

There are layers upon layers, upon layers, upon more layers of code to restrict things like this from happening, but I have seen reports over the years of sims gaining romance with each other when they're not supposed to, so I don't really understand why this still hasn't been fixed.

This age tag has been missing since as far back as 2022. I don't have Tuning resources from before that to verify, but I assume this age tag has been missing for much longer.

This is a simple Tuning override.
