Hi, I have a little problem with the new sentiments, they are wrong. I relly think sentiments is a good idea but I need a cheat to add and remove them. Just a few minutes ago i was happily playing The Sims when my Sim got a new sentiment. I was exited but when i read the sentiment i got both annoyed and confused. My Sim had just broken up and she got some kind of love sentiment for/with her ex. I obviously wanted to remove this sentiment but I can literally find no site that tells me how to do. Can some kind soul tell me what to do and if cheats surrounding sentiments relly doesn't exist i think that it should be added a few. RELLY thankful for help!

I agree with sentiments not disappearing over night, but the problem is not that. The problem is that the game sometimes assigns them stupidly and often without context. Like my sim after a perfect date got a festering grudge and I have no clue why. Another time I got festering grudge because they didn’t like a gift. Really? A bit extreme for unwanted gift and deep-seated grudge from that. Maybe they might be disappointed but festering grudge? When you make such a big issue from a small interactions it makes the more impactful interactions diminished in value. Which is a big issue with this game among many other issues. It lacks proper connection to events, traits, relationships and now sentiments are no different. It did not take under consideration any facts before assigning sentiments either. That makes it look glitchy. For small interactions there should have been a smaller sounding sentiment, like slighted. Festering Grudge ? That sound like they stole your wife not gave you the wrong flower. It’s just badly done and when sentiments take effect a notification with an explanation would be nice. How is not knowing what is going on good for story tellers? I don’t think context is too much to ask in a game that supposedly simulates life. And then the sentiments are assigned without any connection to traits or animation presented and so on. For example during neighborhood brawl game scheduled event my sim gets into a fight with his BFF. After they are all happy and hug it out. The game assigned a furious sentiment to the sim who is hot headed, and should love to fight in a game created event. He even has a loves this tradition assignment. The sim even got a confident emotion after the fight and was by all accounts happy about it. So why the furious sentiment? Once again a feature designed without any regard for traits, situation, relationship, whims or anything at all. Just puff here is a sentiment that we just gave your sim without any logical explanation. If I wouldn’t have initiated the event and it would happen spontaneously there is no notification that explains what just happened and why is the sim harboring a negative sentiment. Once again no one bothered to connect game elements from previous packs and incorporate traits, reputations that would warrant a sentiment on a specific sim. So it is based regardless of things that should matter and assigned on a situational random basis. That seems very superficial and simply sloppy.

Hi all! Unchecking the box only disables the Lifestyles not the Sentiments. I too find the sentiments annoying and also find that even though Deeply In Love is long term, it fades fast and they are just smitten again. I have to take them on dates often to get the deeply in love sentiment back. I've also had to move out my sim's son in law as she is thinking about him all the time, even when woohooing with her husband! I can imagine all sorts of scenarios kicking off, esp. with these new sentiments! So far The son in law hasn't even noticed he's been moved out on his own and he has the "family" trait! So messed up! Anyway, I'm ranting... just to confirm the checkbox is for removing lifestyles only.

@Trismagistos Turning off another feature because it wasn’t designed correctly. Sounds like a sims 4 solution. I like some of the sentiments. I think the player is asking for a cheat that would remove a sentiment that in her opinion was assigned incorrectly. I think it is a fair request. Give me a cheat with which I can remove a sentiment that was added without any visible reason to have happened. I’d like that as well

Oh my gosh. I really hope eventually there is a cheat or something that can get rid of sentiments. It’s my first day actually playing since the update. I have a mom and a TODDLER. That’s all. Her sentiment towards her daughter was adoring, which is cute right. But then I was teaching the daughter how to say please and thank you and the daughter was throwing a fit about it so they got the - friendship thing. AND NOW THIS MOTHER HAS AN INFURIATING RAGE TOWARDS HER DAUGHTER LIKE ????? Help

Just like in real life sentiments you have about others doesn't just vanish overnight. It takes time. When your Sim have no more romantic interactions with the ex it will fade away. To build sentiments to others start doing the things together that will build the wanted sentiment. I do think that some sentiments are too hard to build.

@qessaw When you don't want to play with this new feature that was brought into the game with the patchupdate of the 10th of November and is an integral part of Snowy Escape you can turn it of fairly easy!
Start the game you are playing (this option is available per game) and press the three buttons in the top right corner. Now the options menu opens. Go to gameplay and untick the box I marked in purple!. Now Lifestyles and the sentiments will not be played in that game!
Have fun playing. 😉

Ok, you have a point. Pretty writing. I still want a cheat but maybe i don't need one in this case.

@qessaw The Sims will still have romantic feelings, sadness, joy etc. But these won't be so annoying in relation to other sims for a longer period than 48 hours.

Hmm... I don't seem to have this option? I'm looking under the Gameplay tab, beneath the "Build Mode Items Grant Gameplay Effects" checkbox, but the option to turn Sentiments on/off isn't there. My game is patched to the latest version (1.68.156.1020 64-bit), including the latest bug/stability fix.
Do I need to buy Snowy Escape to get the option? I ran the game without any mods or CC included and I still don't have the check-box.

@hannahjobe Please read the comment I made earlier in this thread. You don't need a cheat. Just untick the box lifestyles in the gameplay options of the game you are playing.

Have fun playing. 😉

@GreaseBones96 The lifestyle option only comes with the new EP 'Snowy Escape'. You probably won't have problems with irrational emotions between your Sims.

Thanks for the reply, @Trismagistos!
That's kinda lame that I need the EP itself just to disable sentiments/lifestyle. 😕 I'm not that worried about irrational emotions/sentiments among my Sims. My gripe is that I don't want sentiments in my game, period. My newly-married Sims getting Flirty/Very Flirty every time they're simply in the same room together is as annoying as making them take cold showers, and apparently the only way I can make the romantic/Enamored sentiment go away is if I separate the couple for a few days.
If any devs happen to read this: Why couldn't disabling sentiments be an option in the Base Game if you were gonna implement a feature best used with the Snowy Escape EP? Seems kinda corny, honestly. I didn't really want the Snowy Escape EP, but it seems like I don't have much choice if I wanna get rid of silly Lifestyles & Sentiments that I never asked for and didn't want. 🤨
