Jealousy issue with Reputation

Now I'm not sure if this is a bug or Sims is working in mysterious ways again, but jealousy in the game will always result in a minor reputation loss, which in some cases doesn't make sense. Sim A and Sim B are in a relationship, Sim B has the jealous trait, Sim A interacts with anyone and jealousy gets triggered. Sim B naturally has the Jealous Pangs moodlet where it even states that it's unreasonable for them to be jealous, yet Sim A loses reputation for speaking with their little sister for example. 
Just something I noticed, not sure if it's supposed to be this way since it doesn't make sense to have a worse reputation for just speaking to a family member or anyone for that matter, since they haven't cheated or even flirted.

  • @Vociferating This is excellent feedback for the fame aspect of the game! I absolutely agree. (First, I just have to say imho, I only played once with a jealous sim then banned him to my library. He drove me nuts! :eahigh_file🙂 As far as fame, I agree that a sim with fame should not loose fame points for any type of associations/interactions with a family member! That just doesn't seem right. ☹️

  • Yeah, technically I could always change their trait but it really hinders playing with more unique personalities. Who would look at a celebrity and say „I can‘t believe he just talked to his little sister while he‘s in a relationship! Cancelled!“ 🤨

    @Vociferating Excellent point, and I forgot to mention that part (about the jealous sim). But interacting with others, including non-romantic interactions, I suppose could conceivably trigger jealousy in a very jealous person. It just seems most logical in the game that the jealousy be triggered by potentially romantic interactions, or at least that family interactions are immured. I got a good laugh reading a thread about the trait, though. One person says they just can't wait until Grim comes and takes this sim off their hands. :eahigh_file: 🙂 I play with aging off, so the library is my only relief - or 'unplaying' then deleting them. I don't 'kill off' sims in my game. 😉
