Saint's Row 4 techincally meets all of her requirements: romances with straightforward, open-world gameplay, although it has no co-op. Beyond that, Bioware's catalog, and some of Obsidian's RPGs, you're either gonna have to go down the Sims road of full sandbox storytelling; or to cinematic adventure games, like TellTale's newer titles, for more story-driven stuff (romances are not very common though).

Although... You know what features a giant open world, endless romances to explore, and expansive co-op? Crusader Kings 2. (It's a bit more complicated than these other games, though.)

I think some of the Fable games can be played co-op and you can flirt and get married and have babies and fart.

edit, yeah 2 and 3 are backwards compatible on the xbox one and can be played co-op.
They're quite simple games too.

Oh yeah co-op isn't a biggie. She just means that she likes to play along with a friend and they can pass the controller back and forth. Real co-op could be cool, but its omission isn't a deal breaker.

Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions! Lots of great stuff to consider.

Mass Effect, but the side missions are terrible until you get to the second game.

Mass Effect
FFXII (no romancing but has that mmo and gambit system)
The Witcher 2&3 on easy mode

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Yeah, she'll love the Mass Effect series.
