Re: Sims 4 should have more consequences and drama

@ChakaiB Oddly in my game there is a lot of drama. While it's not quite as specific as one Sim gets angry at the rumor another Sim started, I have relentless drama due to flirting and mischief that my npcs start

For me, the NAPS "infected" my sims and npcs. Rough house.. they fight. Free love and the flirting was out of control. I disabled and repealed my NAPS but my npcs didn't get the message

Clement Frost is a total flirt who likes to hit on my sims during winterfest
ALL of my sims have randomly negative relationships
MOST of my sims have cheated on their spouse while I wasn't adding
I get negative reputations, slaps, jealousy, sadness and plenty of negative sentiments when I'm not the active household. The sort of "glitch" I have works itself into drama via the npcs and played households when I'm not around.

I have received calls that someone despises my Sim and that makes the calling Sim think twice about them. So they are talking trash if the the relationship is bad enough. Diego Lobo nearly destroyed the reputation of my female political Sim after I can back to her household and they hated each other... why? I have no idea it all happens when I'm not active as that household. Then Diego started flirting and they had a hot cold relationship status but she's married which caused a brawl when she kissed her husband at the gym.

Mine is kinda loaded but I totally get that there could be more consequences. I especially think that should be the case for negative traits. My mean, evil, erratic Sim is actually quite enjoyable and just talks to herself most of the time.

  • @ChakaiB it is and it only happened in one load and left the other loads alone (I have 3 loads)

    This load, with the drama, is almost all played in San Myshuno. I have 15 households in the city. Even without the npcs creating excessive drama the city does provide an element of drama with noisy neighbors and the quicker access of festival events being right outside. If you live in the spice district you can go to the festival without a screen load. So this creates a lot of opportunity for sims to "collide" into each other regardless of the household I'm playing as. I play in rotation. I'll say that city living does add an air of drama or activity other worlds don't have. Maybe try a few households there and see if you like it 😉

    They should implement a drama slider.  😉

    On a scale of 1 ("Please keep my perfect happy families perfect at all time") to 5 ("Random infidelity and fistfights are hilarious, BRING IT ON!"), how much drama do you want in your game?  😉
