Sentiments, does anyone know how they are suppose to work?

Hi @Kitilark62 Carl's Sims 4 Guide, has a tutorial and game guides for every TS4 Pack..

Hope this helps..

nb: you may not use mods, however many can be useful in situations such as you describe, to 'tweak' the game.

I'm also finding sentiments kind of annoying when playing with children. When my toddler didn't want to have a bath, she got the Hurt sentiment about her mother, then did the same thing when her father tried to take care of her. So now she gets sad any time either parent goes near her, which of course they do all the time, so she's basically permanently sad now, and has been for days. The sentiments seem to be adding to the gameplay overall, but this aspect maybe needs some tweaking. 

This aspect definitely needs some tweaking, as toddlers and children get hurt and even festering grudges from being mildly disciplined or even being asked to potty without wanting to. I've noticed that the option is there for the adult to apologize to the child, which can make the sentiment go away. Sentiments should be fixed, but the apologizing helped my gameplay a lot! The cool-down time if you don't is just way too long.
