More info about Road to Romance Mod (Patreon)

Hi all, I am still on track to get Road to Romance out to you by Tuesday at the latest. I am now calibrating how easy / difficult, or rather, how slow / fast it is to earn Romance skill. This is quite difficult to judge, so I am doing a lot of trials. And - shockingly - I still do not have a logo ready for this mod!
In the meantime - here is the full info on the mod as it is now (if you want a specific social interaction to be present, you may still offer a suggestion!):

SKILL INFO

Gain Romance skill by performing any of the game’s Romantic interactions that grant positive relationship points, and using the interactions this mod adds.

SKILL LEVELS - DESCRIPTION

At first, Sims will be a little bad at romance. It impacts how quickly romance develops between them and others. It also impacts the quality of moodlets they can obtain from WooHoo. As they grow their skill, these things improve. There are 10 levels and 5 thresholds, 2 levels in each threshold.

    First Threshold: 80% chance of WooHoo results being an Uncomfortable or Embarrassed moodlet, WooHoo cannot grant great moodlets (such as “Seeing Stars” or “Completely Satisfied”). Romance relationship points are gained 60% less fast than in the un-modded game (romance is so easy to get! even for a beginner Sim! I want to make it more difficult.)

Level 1 – “Confess Never Having WooHoo’d” (if it is the case) / “Admit Having Little Experience” / “Research Romance Tips and Tricks”, “Create Online Dating Profile” and subsequently, “Go on Online Date” and “Browse through Dating Profiles”, "Talk about Love Life" (with friends)

Level 2 – “Ask about Exes”; “Talk about Exes”;  (in the early stages of relationships), “Research WooHoo Technique”

    Second Threshold: 45% chances of very positive WooHoo moodlets being replaced by negative ones. All other WooHoo moodlets remain free to occur as in the unmodded game. Romance relationship points are gained 50% less fast than in the un-modded game.

Level 3 – “Discuss Relationship Ideals” and “Discuss WooHoo Preferences” (in early stages of relationships)

Level 4 - “Discuss Living Together”, “Express Interest"

     Third Threshold: Romance relationship points are gained 40% less fast than in the un-modded game. wooHoo moodlets work like in the un-modded game.

Level 5 – “Reaffirm Devotion” (if high relationship score); “Compliment Personality”; “Reminisce about Early Days” (if high relationship score)

Level 6 – “Enthuse about Relationship”

    Fourth Threshold: Romance relationship points are gained 30% less fast than in the un-modded game.

Level 7 – “Show Off about High Romance Skill”; “Write Love Advice Blog”, 

Level 8 – “Give Love Advice”

     Fifth Threshold: Romance relationship points are gained normally.

Level 9 – “Magic Pick-Up Line”

Level 10 – “Beguiling Kiss” + “Charm the Room” (interaction that will make all Sims around interested in the active Sim.)

There are a few more little things, and a few more interactions will be added to the skill by the time the mod is out - and of course lots of moodlets  coming with all this - but other than that, this is it for now and for this Version 1.0
I do plan to add to the mod with updates later on, so this will not be the very end for this mod!

So, what do you think? Don't hesitate to make requests or comment about how easy or difficult you'd like it to be for your Sims to gain skill.

Thanks for sticking around!
Best, Lumpinou
