🚧 [PACK_ID] Create-A-Date is a bloody mess! I should not be able to gain Romance Score with a sim who is actively rejecting my advances. This feels wrong.

I'm troubleshooting my broken Discovery Quests in my Live Event save before releasing anything new, in case I need to update one of my SGFX overrides. F.Y.I. I don't think it's me and it seems to be an unrelated game "bug".

I've spoken about the half-arsed nature of Create-A-Date before, I've just not gotten around to poking at it yet, but this new thing is ridiculous.

Nancy asks to Stayover. I oblige.

• I attempt to romance. She rejects all advances. She is married, after all.

• I get the 7 Wild Dates call and I Create-A-Date.

• Nancy accepts but continues to reject my advances.

• The date ends on Silver.

• Nancy now has Romance Score with me but is still rejecting my advances.

Let's go again! Another Create-A-Date!

• Nancy rejects all attempts to romance and even to extend the date (on both occasions she declined to extend), but because I have more socializing goals this time, the date ends in Gold.

• Nancy immediately asks to become Romantic Partners.

• All subsequent Romance actions succeed from this point forward.

WHAT THE ACTUAL !@#$ DID I JUST WITNESS?!

Not only does this feel very icky, but I would assume it's only possible because of how half-arsed Create-A-Date was done and therefore not intended. "Not intended" the same way sims with the "Hates Children" trait could - once upon a time before it was fixed - be convinced to "Try for Baby" when Dazed. This was not intended and really !@#$in' creepy.

TBC...
