Mod Romantic Boundaries: assign in Live Mode + (Optional) Auto-Assign Settings - Sims 4- Trad FR
Romance in The Sims 4 can get messy fast. One Sim wants an open relationship, another expects total exclusivity, and a third is happily polyamorous. Vanilla boundaries are limited, which is exactly why Lumpinou's Romantic Boundaries mod became a staple for storytellers. The Mod Romantic Boundaries: assign in Live Mode + (Optional) Auto-Assign Settings - Sims 4- Trad FR package brings the entire system to French-speaking players, so you can manage every romantic limit without leaving your native language.
This add-on is a translation file, not a standalone mod. It works alongside the original Romantic Boundaries mod and changes the on-screen text to French. That means menus, interaction labels, and auto-assign options all read naturally while you play. If you have ever paused mid-story to translate a boundary setting in your head, this package removes that friction completely.
What the Mod Actually Does
Romantic Boundaries lets you decide, per Sim, what counts as cheating and what does not. You can assign these limits manually in Live Mode or let the optional Auto-Assign Settings handle it for you. The core features include:
- Manual boundary assignment for any Sim through a dedicated menu in Live Mode
- Optional auto-assign rules that apply boundaries based on traits, relationship type, or household setup
- Support for monogamous, open, and polyamorous relationship styles
- Jealousy and reaction tuning so Sims respond according to their personal boundaries
- Compatibility with other relationship and romance mods that use the same framework
Because boundaries are stored per Sim, two partners can hold completely different expectations. That single detail transforms how drama unfolds in your saves, whether you run a quiet legacy family or a chaotic rotational playthrough.
Supported Game Versions and Compatibility
The translation targets current The Sims 4 patches and the Lovestruck era of relationship features, where romantic boundaries became a headline mechanic. It also fits saves that use Growing Together and High School Years content, since those packs add relationship dynamics that interact with boundary logic.
Compatibility notes worth remembering:
- The translation package must sit in the same folder as the original mod file
- Keep both files updated after major game patches, since menu strings can change
- Other Lumpinou mods that share the same translation structure can coexist without conflict
- Script mods must stay enabled in Game Options for the boundary menu to appear
On Mac, some players report the mod reverting to English even with the translation installed. The fix is importing the translation through Sims 4 Studio, which forces the game to read the French strings correctly. It takes a few minutes and solves the problem permanently.

Assigning Boundaries in Live Mode

Using the Auto-Assign Settings
