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 pl...

@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. 😉
Thank you, gonna consider to do this but i still want the Sims to FEEL stuff, if you know what i mean. 🙂
- @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.
- @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. 🤨
- @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
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 I unchecked the lifestyles option, removed mods and cc and my toddler still has a festering grudge against her mother because mom tried to play with her. Crazy enough, I don't want my toddler to get irrationally angry when my single mother sim tries to give her dinner.
@jentasticC although you unchecked the lifestyles in game options. The sentiments between your Sims will still exist.
In the situation you desrcibe there could well be a trait incompatibility between the single Sim mother and her toddler or a trait in your toddler that can trigger an angry mode. When your toddler has a mean streak trait or the independend one. I can only advise to let your toddler take their own food. You can fill the inventory of your toddler with left overs so they can take and eat it themselves.
On the other hand this reaction could also be related to one of the mods you have been using. As you stated in your post you deleted the cc and mods. But did you also delete the 'localthumbcache.package' file from the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder. There could be a residu of these mods still active in the save you are using.
Please also check these options.
Have fun playing. 😉
- @Trismagistos How long does it take the sentiment to fade?
- @jentasticC Do you have any other Sims that have festering grudges? Or just the toddler and her mom?
@JoRN1414 toddler (now a child) and mom, and npc neighbor has festering grudge against teen son.
Hi. I realize this is an old thread, however, I have the lifestyles box unchecked in my game, which is up to date even almost a year later, and that box does not change anything about sentiments. I just no longer get an notice that my daily lifestyle cap has been reached. Sentiments are still front and center. I have found no way to turn them off. I find them annoying. Example: I'm working on my painting aspiration using the museum easel. (Yes, yes I could cheat but choose not to) So I spend time working to get very inspired, start painting and my best friend comes in and walks up to me and all that goes out the window because the sentiment turned me playful. ANNOYING. Same situation but this time my boyfriend walk in and up to POOF! Flirty. Sentiments are annoying to me and DO NOT go away by unchecking "Lifestyles". Gladly take any other suggestion on how to turn them off. I do not run MODS so the game is as is. Thanks.
- @Turlovian I've noticed the smitten sentiment is a pain as everytime the smitten sims are near each other they're flirty and couldn't care less about their babies or anything else they're doing! They go to talk to plants when they're flirty, unless I force them to woohoo! It just seems nothing can get done beause of the sentiments as their little simmie brains are not focused on the task at hand. I want to raise my kids well, but these distractions are making it harder than it already was!
@Turlovian Hi! I absolutely despise sentiments! If you don't mind using cheats, then you can use the cheat to add/remove sentiments in the spoiler below. Just type Control+Shift+C to get the command prompt in the upper left. Then copy and paste the cheat into that prompt and hit enter. I actually got these from @Gednaa a while ago when they shared them in another thread. I saved this list to a text document to make it easy to copy/paste. Hope this helps.
SpoilerFor this string, the initial first/last name is the name of the sim who has the sentiment, the first/last name 2 is the target of the sentiment. For example, John Smith is smitten with Jane Smith. To remove the smitten sentiment, the cheat would look like this...
modifyrelationship John Smith Jane Smith -100 sentimentTrack_Enamored_ST_generic
modifyrelationship firstname lastname firstname2 lastname2 100 (Sentiment Tag)
if you want to take away a sentiment put -100 instead of 100sentimentTrack_Adoring_LT_lifesaver

SaddenedEdit: Sorry. I missed the part where you said you don't like to use cheats. However, in my opinion, it is totally justified where sentiments are concerned. It just ruins so many situations! lol
Another thing that I find a bit creepy is kids getting the "impressive person alert" towards their father. I guess the Father must have been mentoring them with something while I was at another household, but it's kinda creepy. Of course a child is impressed at their parents' skills and mentoring, but is this really necessary and does it need to look so creepy in the game?
I don't think they were saying that they didn't want to play with sentiments, I think they were referring to the random placement of them and wishing for it to be fixed and run properly.
This does not appear to still work.
1. sentiments are not listed as being part of the option and
2. even when you turn this feature (which says lifestyles) off, I still have lifestyles & sentiments
So how EXACTLY are we supposed to turn sentiments off? my toddlers keep getting grudges against their parents for hugging them.....it's super annoying.
@MadameNordicaHello! Unfortunately, there is no option to turn off sentiments. Disabling lifestyles from the Snowy Escape pack does not disable sentiments which were added to the base game. Unless we are given an option to disable them (please EA, add this option!), then you can only wait for the sentiments to dissipate on their own or use cheats to remove them.
If you have disabled lifestyles but your sims are still gaining them, there is a somewhat old thread about that here.
- @JonaO703 thank you! Thought I'd gone off my nut!
- @Trismagistos but i don't have that pack
Hey @GoPBJ
Could you please elaborate on the issue you experience?
This thread was first made, directly after the release of Snowy Escape. Players were then for the first time confronted with lifestyles and strong sentiments between Sims. The lifestyles are integral part of the expansion pack. Sentiments were also incorporated in the base game. When you don't own the expansion pack, then you won’t be able to have issues with lifestyles.
Sentiments between Sims are now an integral part of the game and as you can read in this thread there are lots of ways (cheats or mods) to alter sentiments between your Sims.So, if you need assistance or help with sentiments, cheat or mods please ask.
Hello, I have a sentiment-related issue:
TL;DR: I need to know the cheat code for removing negative sentiment called "You interrupted the Wedding Ceremony!" All the listed cheat codes are for base game, and this is clearly from the wedding pack. I have tried googling, and can't find it.
Longer explanation: a couple got married using the new wedding system from My Wedding Stories. They have a toddler. The toddler behaved fine, as far as I could see, but regardless, the groom (toddler's father) is now furious with the toddler for 'You interrupted the Wedding Ceremony!' sentiment reason. I had this happen once before, in a different save, at which point I figured I'd just keep playing until it fades, but the father kept being snarky at the child even when she was a teen, although I admit I now forget if the sentiment kept re-appearing, or maybe it was just the Mean Sims thing, but strangely just with him at her.
So since it popped up again now in a different save, I figured I'd google to see if there's a mod to remove sentiments, or a cheat, or something. I found the cheat and the lists allover the internet, but only the base game sentiments lists, or sometimes Snowy Escape, never this particular one. I also tried to scour through father's info with SimsInfo but couldn't find what the sentiment might be called, nor even where the sentiments info -is- in the SimsInfo. I did find the current moodlet, but since the moodlet is just generic furious-with-someone, I can't use that to remove the sentiment itself.
So... anyone know the code, pretty please?
Edit: I found a mod that managed to remove the sentiment, but when the father talks with the happily babbling toddler, the game says it's 'unpleasant conversation' so obviously something is still off somewhere, so would love to see if hitting the modifyrelationship with the correct code for that sentiment would help.
