TIL: ACR 2.0 was totally super broken.
So, after a rousing discussion on my Discord about ACR, Romantic Standards, various mods, conflicts, you name it, we discovered that ACR's jealousy was completely and utterly broken. Romantic Standards in, or out. Just like, broken 😂
Don't believe me? Check out this otherwise vanilla folder test, in which using the "casual" interactions menu, Don Lothario can waltz up to Nina Caliente and kiss, hit on, goose, whatever he likes in front of his fiance Cassandra Goth and she does not care AT ALL, until I accidentally click the vanilla Maxis "make out" interaction at the end and she finally gets mad:
This was Cassandra's jealousy setting for this test:
So, erm, that's not great 😂 Should probably fix that hey...
(Today I also learned that I can't upload more than 1 video per post lol, but I did film a second video using the same "casual.../romantic kiss" interaction which this time resulted in immediate jealousy).
So. Yeah.
Basically, there were 2 "casual / kiss" interactions that actually worked and triggered jealousy where appropriate, which were Casual / Kiss / Suck Face and Casual / Kiss / Dance Kiss.
The rest, ZERO response. All flirts, hugs and other kisses, broken.
So, I worked out what the differences were, and I fixed them.

** IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE ACR REPLACEMENT**
I have only included the socials that needed to be fixed. You still need the original ACR Controller Main files from either here or SimGiggleGirl's Romantic Standards compatible version here. But if you already have ACR, you will want to replace all of the socials with these versions.
And if anyone is curious, yes this totally works as intended alongside Midge's version of Romantic Standards. This mod is heavy and you've gotta read through the documentation, but here's a screenshot of my Romantic Standards files that work perfectly with ACR:
Thank you to @meltingmagnetz for opening my eyes to the issue, and to @guessimate and @katatty for contributing to the discussion and helping with testing.
*Edit: oh yeah, I forgot to say, part of the fix involved removing a weird BHAV that checked for "Game Engine Version" so, if you're not playing with Ultimate Collection or similar (full packs), I can't 100% guarantee this will work for you.
But if you're not playing with Ultimate Collection (or similar), it's 2026 babe. Talk to me on Discord, we'll get you sorted 😂💗
