Sims Breaking Up

As long as I've played Sims (which is a long time) I've always kinda let my Sims determine how their own relationships go. They give little clues in the Wants panel. I usually follow that. What's interesting, is if you pay attention, they tell you who they want to be with. They also tell you when they're done. Over time, I've figured out that the "meet someone new" want means they're ready to move on. It pops up during breakups too. I also recently had two Sims break up and they both got so upset they vomited. Both of their wants during the breakup were "be friends with X" and funny enough, one of them wanted to cast a good luck spell on the other one. I mean, come on. They want to break up, but still be friends. LOL.

If you follow the wants panel, it's really fascinating to watch them determine the course of their own little lives. Even almost 20 years later, The Sims keeps it interesting. Does anyone else do this? I love to let them pick their own mates. Sometimes it works, sometimes it ends in heartbreak. Sometimes Sims is too real.
