I was just wondering if there were any long term effects (them getting mad at me/each other) for flirting with everyone I feel like in game. At the moment I have Piper as far as I can go (gf? in game romanced) and I thought [censored] it might as well flirt with Cait whilst I travel with her cause yuh know why not and it's a game. So I was actually curious if this effects me negatively.

lol would be funny if they wrote jealousy into the game, I get into trouble for doing this, I guess being a flirt is in my nature.

Just like in the real world, there are no real consequences of flirting with everyone you see...

Please don't take this as serious advice in your real world personal relations, this is all in jest.

You can romance all of the companions if you want. However, if you romance Piper, and then choose a 'flirt' dialog option with Cait or someone else in the presence of Piper, she'll dislike it. I believe the same can be said for all of the companions.

If you talk to the singer/"lady of the evening" at the Third Rail in Goodneighbor and choose the 'flirt' option while talking to her, your companion will dislike it.

So as long as you don't let your romantic companions see you romancing your other romantic companions, you'll be fine. I've already romanced Piper and Cait, and now I'm working on romancing Curie. I'm a straight dude, so I'm still debating pursuing the romance options with the male companions. But in the interest of completeness and getting all of the extra perks, I probably will anyway.

When did F4 become the sims 3...

Oh I am too lol. But yeah I was just curious about it. I plan to romance Curie too

I know they are officially labeled "simulations" but as far as I'm concerned The Sims are roleplaying games too. In fact, in some ways I think the Sims games are even better roleplaying games than most of what Bethesda or Bioware churn out these days.

You don't have to romance companions to get their perks, just max out their approval and finish their quest (if they have one).

You can flirt and romance any romanceable companion. I would not, however (my F!SS, on the other hand... (mainly Piper and Cait)).
