Lovesick sounds pretty good, actually! Dropping Yandere could turn out badly, but for now... Lovesick has my vote!

Fact is, not alot out there with "yandere" in the title period, so brand recognition post-change can more or less rely on keeping that word. You also want to avoid "simulator" due to the continuing prevalence of that branding. So, I bring you Google Translated ideas of a non-Japanese speaker, perhaps refinable by someone who does: "Lovesick: Yandere Nigaoe" (似顔絵) "Lovesick: Yandere Mane" (まね) "Lovesick: Yandere Furi" (ふり)

I'll chime in with my agreement. "Lovesick: Yandere Simulator" keeps the name recognition that's been built up while helping to get away from the negative connotations you mentioned. Kinda like how Yandere-chan will be named Ayano-chan so she can still be called Yan-chan :)

I like the sound of Lovesick: Yandere Simulator!

I agree with the others, "Lovesick: Yandere Simulator" sounds good! I understand wanting to change the name because of the negative connotations against games that generally have the "simulator" title, but keeping the 'YS' part is a good idea simply because that is what it has been referred so far. It would make it much easier to find and recognize the final version of game.
