As near as I can tell, they only like gifts worth more than $200 simoleons. :P
Maybe I should edit all my holidays. I really hate to do that, but.... it's infuriating. I did go looking at my favorite modders' sites for "Less Toddler-like Tantrums from Presents" and didn't see anything like that...
As for this couple, I felt like my options were to wait for the Team to release My Divorce Stories 😉 or to whip out UI Cheats. I chose cheating. 😉
Edit: Seriously, guys, "Hurt" because someone gave you a rose is an overreaction akin to the scene in Addams Family Values where Debbie talks about how her parents gave her Malibu Barbie instead of Ballerina Barbie. 😉
I agree that sims' negative reactions to gifts are really over the top. As far as I can tell, there's not even anything that will guarantee a sim will like your gift (e.g. something related to their likes; something they have a whim to buy; something handmade or from their spouse or child). I have thought about editing all of my holidays for the same reason.
