Adults Get Crushes

In the base game, only teen Sims can develop crushes—thanks to a leftover code limitation. This mod fixes that oversight, allowing Young Adults, Adults, and Elder Sims to experience crushes as well, though at a lower chance (about half as likely as teens to develop them).

Key Mechanics
  • Enables older Sims (YA, Adult, Elder) to form crushes autonomously, restoring the intended logic of the High School Years expansion.
  • The crush chance is automatically adjusted, reducing the default likelihood by 50% for older age groups.
  • Compatible with the Crush Overhaul mod, which introduces more nuanced emotion and relationship mechanics for crush formation.
  • Conflicts with any other mod that modifies similar crush conditions—so only one crush-related mod should be active at a time.

Benefits & Gameplay Impact
Players quickly noticed that this mod adds emotional depth to teenage-free households and allows for romantic dynamics across all life stages. It enriches storytelling by enabling adult Sims to experience teenage-style infatuation.

Edito's Note:
This mod restores a more inclusive romantic mechanic by allowing Sims of all adult ages to develop crushes—adding spontaneity and emotional variety across your gameplay. It’s a small tweak with big impact—especially for legacy stories or mature relationship-focused gameplay.
