Sim is not noncommittal and accepts some interactions but not all specific ask a risqué question is rejected almost every time.

Ask risque question is a hard interaction for me they only except with a 3 quarter full romance bar anything under that it's always rejected.

Also forgot to mention it's easier to use romance options when the Sims are in a flirty mood let also does the sim in question have the unflirty trait because if they do it's 10 times harder to build romance with Sims with that trait I'm not saying it's impossible but it is harder to romance them.

Romance actions are scored from the Romance bar. And it's not just as simple as that - there's a whole conversation context score too. High score actions like "Ask a Risque Question" will succeed if you have a good romance bar, or other things like a Steamy Conversation context, or a flirty emotional mood, or trait boosts like Alluring trait.

What you're describing is a totally unromantic situation where two friends just walk up to each other on the street and without even saying hello someone asks "Hey I'm not wearing any underpants today!" and expecting a romantic reaction. It's more likely they'd say "back off creep!".

What you need is a romantic setup like, taking them on a date, giving them a romantic gift of flowers, showing some romantic intentions with some simple flirts and compliments, both getting in a flirty mood and THEN you pop the risque question.

I get that but they are rejecting everything. Even flirting and asking to be single. They are best friends and in good moods.

@TheSpaark Is it just that couple you have issues with ? Have you tried flirting with another Sim ? Or tried another couple ?

@simvasion this is such a good explanation of how things work in game and in life and the underpants -comment made me actually giggle. +1 Thanks for the laughs /OT

@TheSpaark Are you still having issues with this ?

I’m having this issue. Two roommates started as wohoo partners then became boyfriends. Their romantic and sexual interests are inclusive of men. And their romance bar is about 75% and yet they both reject woohoo inquiries from each other.

@nickinbigd Do you only have issues with Sims that were woohoo partners before ? This thread is older and there's an active thread for ex-woohoo partners here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WooHoo-Partners-become-romantically-involved-and-stop-WooHooin...

Could you test if it works on another couple that hasn't been partners ?
