Confess to Cheating Option in TS4?

It was in Sims 3 and in Sims especially if they caught you cheating this game says it emotional but the two previous games had more emotions then this one.

Yaaass

This would be a interesting add-on. Both "confess to cheating" and "baby isn't yours".

What would be the consequences of confessing?
An automatic divorce? Would the parent who isn't genetically linked end the relationship? It is fine and dandy to ask for the possibility to say these things ingame but what happens afterwards? Is it more fun if it is up to the player to decide if it ends or not? Should the player let the sim who has been cheated on choose to "ask for divorce" or should this be automatic?

Just musing here. If a divorce is up to the player they can decide to have a serial cheater married to some unlucky sim in a depressing situation, good story. But if confessing only leads to a VERY VERY SAD BUFF for 3 days other players may say that these sims remember nothing and have no idea what happens. When the buff is gone they are lovey-dovey again.

Hmm... I don't know what I prefer yet but it would be interesting to be able to play with these situations.

I NEED more stuff when it comes to affairs like a family drama pack. If my sim is flirting and someone who knows him or one of his family members sees it, a rumor could pop up. He would have to convince his Wife/husband/SO that it's not true, ignore the situation and make her suspicious, or admit. Flirting, kissing, sleeping around, and conceiving a child would have different loss of relationship status. Marriage counseling could be included to help repair a damaged marriage. Cry/talk to friends about affair/being cheated on. the sim who is upset may have an easier time having their own affair if they cry around a friend and get a rebound. Even after a divorce, you should be able to get back together but you can never have a full pink or green bar again with that sim.

Temporary separation could be a thing where a sim leaves the house for a few days, and divorce should affect the entire family as would fighting in front of the kids. If a Baby or Toddler sees their parent cheating, they probably wouldn't have any sort of reaction because they're too young. Children would see it and be sad or confused. Teens would know what's going on and be mad at their parent. Children could ask parent about their cheating parent's "Friend" and create suspicion. Teens could just tell the other parent about the affair. I think the cheater could convince their teen not to tell and it teaches the teen to lie and it could affect their own relationships in the future the way you can boost or drop responsibilities with kids.

Having a baby with another woman/getting pregnant by another man should cause problems in the family. A man may question who the baby's father is and the wife could lie or tell the truth. If a guy has a baby with another woman, perhaps the option to let the newborn move in and the mother have a hard time caring for it. Or maybe they accept and love it anyway. I think it would be interesting if the sim babies born from affairs have some sort of hidden negative trait or something, kinda like how if you have a sim child with father winter it has some extra bonus.

I think if your playable sim sees another friend sim having a fling with someone they should be able to confront them or tell their SO about it as well. You could earn badges like back in TS3 about being faithful, a cheater, someone who is never caught, heart breaker, etc. If they're a known cheater or heart breaker it could make it harder for them to start up a new relationship.

Also there could be suspicion in the game. hmm my girlfriend is pregnant and we've never woohooed. My child looks excacly like the neighbour , or , hey wait a minute why is our baby a different race than us ? Who is that pregnant woman that hangs out with my husband. Why is my husband inviting that child to spend the weekend? (this works with clubs)

Also hire a private detective to follow spouse. In that case the spouse should be able to evade the pd. This would be great if the gold digger trait was brought back.

I am all for adding interpersonal drama. I'd like a few dramatic moral/ethical things in the game play

1. Confess to cheating (regretful)
2. Confess to cheating (Mean)
3. Baby isn't yours
4. Confess to stealing
5. Ask unfaithful/trouble making Spouse to move out for (specified reason)
6. Admitting to parents you cheated
7. Turning in family member/friend for criminal behavior (Criminal career)

Maybe the sim keeps the buff until they divorce or talk it over with their partner.... :smiley:

How will I know if my Sim boyfriend has cheated on my sim?

> I like to spice up my gameplay with drama... However, some of my sims need to have the option to 'confess to cheating', or something along those lines. So, when my sims has an affair with another sim, the husband/boyfriend/wife/girlfriend won't be clueless. This really bugs me, what do you guys think? I think it would be a nice addition to the game.

That would be so good, it would add more depth to the game and also make it more realistic and make more fun gameplay?

Some additional speech options would be nice to flesh out the storyline. One thing I did when I had a cheating sim (husband had an affair with the nannie) he kissed his mistress in front of the wife which she instantly confronted them both, husband received a ‘caught cheating’ note and instant discomfort. To add to the drama, the nannie moved into the home and the husband continued his new relationship and kept his wife. She slowly started to go erratic (without the erratic trait).

Doesn’t help with your want for additional speech options but a way to enjoy the drama in current game.
