Sims with the Romantic trait receive 2 unique moodlets. Charmed by Nature gives a Flirty moodlet with a weight of 2 for 4 hours. Lovelorn gives a Tense moodlet with a weight of 1 for 2 hours.

This trait also replaces several usual moodlets with milder versions. For example, the Engaged and Just Married replacements drop from a weight of 3 to 1 and last 4 hours. It also turns Tense moodlets like Neglecting Myself into a Fine moodlet called To Love or Not to Love.

The game checks for the Romantic trait during 2 interactions: Argue about Romance and Offer Rose. The trait does not add hidden multipliers or career pay bonuses.
