I dunno maybe this is just me but part of the reason why I LOVED the Sims 2 was because it was so soapy and dramatic.I wish the Sims 4 could elevate this sense of soapiness and drama!- Mothers should be able to interfere in their offsprings love lives i.e “Encourage to Get To Know or Ask so and so on a date.”- Full on waterworks when child sims spot their parents cheating- The option to kick a cheating sim out of the house (Maybe add an animation of a cheating sim packing a suitcase)- After convincing a sim to leave their spouse maybe the sim who has been dumped can despise your sim (this used to happen in the Sims 3)- Child/Teen sims being rude to their homewrecking step parent- Spliting custody of children between divorced or separated Sims - Gossiping meaning ACTUAL gossiping and having actual effects on relationships - The option to “Warn Sim about...” “Advise Sim Not To Date...”I dunno, I’m big on family play and drama so this kind of stuff is right up my alley.

YES!!I miss ts2 drama. You could create a real dramatic soap opera with your sims in that version.

I am supportive of just about anything that adds drama to the game.

I resounding Yes!!
That's one thing that TS2 seemed to get right better than any other sims game and I would love to see that type of gameplay in TS4 as well. :)

If you have Parenthood, mean interactions within the family will have a long-term effect on the Sims' relationship label in the relationship panel. I haven't tried this with step-parents who have adopted a Sim as a dependant though.

I like all the ideas in the OP! I've always wanted Sims to be nosier, so I like the idea of options to interfere more in others' lives. I think the Aspiration for having a successful lineage is great for storytelling but could have a lot more gameplay and side effects in game than it does. It would be fun if a Sim with that Aspiration could get upset if their child went against their recommendations of a good match. You can do this on your own, but I'd love it if the game had more interactions like that built into it to make decisions within the family have repurcussions.

I don't have parenthood, and I want mean interactions that last between non-related sims.
How is your sim supposed to remain in a grudgy, hate-filled relationship with their rival from school? I don't want them to automatically have nice interactions with each other.

I miss the drama in Pleasantview in Sims 2 it was like a Soap opera when you first played with Premade families same thing with Sims 3 they had an interesting back story if you wished to play off of. Sims 4 it has a back story but its not drama filled and entertaining like sims 2 or 3. I also miss burglars robbing your house that was drama the repoman coming to take your stuff, firefighters coming to put out fire police coming to warn you that your party is to loud at night and you get fined when they come back. Teens sneaking with the option of getting caught.
Sims should have a moodlet of going to jail especially if they commit a crime like for instance with Kleptomaniac when they get caught they should have a Sim call the police on them. Also since we have the police station if we arrest a Sim we know and play their household they should have the moodlet like being in jail or something.
