More Drama!

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.

    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.

    Isn't the first interaction in Get Together? Or something like that at least. I think you can ask other sims to flirt with or get to know other sims and i don't think that's disabled in a parent-child relationship, unless the kid is too young to date.

    Also, splitting up kids after a separation or having kids be rude to a step parent aren't specific features in the game, but it's easy to do on your own. Just make some of the kids move out with one parent and the rest of them stay in manage households. And while they won't be rude to step parents autonomously, you could easily just make them do mean interactions on them.

    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. :)
