The Emotions system would be considerably strengthened if Sims' emotions had a lot more impact on each other. Right now, Emotions are mostly contained within one Sim, having little effect on the other...
Can I add, depending on relationship, depends on how the sim you're asking responds.
if your not really friends, Like good friends or better... perhaps the Sim should respond "Why do you care?" and if you have negative relationships it should be: "Go away, It's none of your concern."
