Compatibility needs a simple fix

There is a detail in the relationship panel - I just don't understand how the developers were thinking. I'm talking about the compatibility that was introduced with Growing Together pack. We see small jigsaw pieces icons indicating whether a relation is good or bad.

When pointing at the icon, we get to know that there are 4 versions; Amazing, Good, Bad and Awful. But we need to point at each sim in the relations panel to get this information . The icons only shows good or bad - or nothing. So, the icon where two jigsaw pieces makes a perfect match, can mean the relation is either good or amazing. Why on earth must I point on each and every sim face to find out whether their relation is amazing or just good? In a game like TS4 I'd expect as much visual info as possible, easy access. Pointing is not easy access, especially not when you need to scroll to see all relations. The amazing and awful should be much easier to see.

In my head it would be very easy to add some green color to the Amazing jigsaw pieces, and some red to the Awful. Or something else that makes it stand out. Few weeks ago the icons were upgraded and I thought - yay, finally! But no, Amazing and Awful is still hidden unless you point.

If developers made it this hard (and useless) for us intentionally, I'd appreciate if someone would explain the motifs. Because I really don't understand how needing to point would be a good solution.
