Anyone else noticing sim behavior changes?

Hey CK, the biggest change I've noticed is when I have a sim with the loner trait, it doesn't seem to matter anymore. I like the loner trait but my "loners" are talky, talky with the "stranger danger" tense mood gets overwhelmed with all the positive ones. Don't get me wrong, this is the best of both worlds in my book. Likes to be alone, but not all the time...I can work with this. B)

I remember feeling that way with Yuki Behr.
I noticed it, but still felt like she was still a loner, yet not annoyingly so.

I have pictures of what I experienced from a thread in the feedback forum.
Perhaps it's because I had a large break from January to July.

My sim had a love triangle a couple of Uni terms back, but now it's only Zane and Meadow Thayer.
But while at the study table one day, Cassandra Goth flirted with Zane in front of Meadow.

Meadow instantly became sad at this.

And I thought I had better put an end to this once and for all.
So I had Zane ask Cassandra if they could just be friends.

And Cassandra was like:
"Okay, Zane. I understand, friends it is."
Very calmly, no drama. Which I was happy about.

And then Meadow gets up and is like:

"I really don't appreciate the two of you flirting when I am sitting...right...here.
It's so... disrespectful!"

And then she walks off.

Afterwards, I felt like there was more to this that you could read into.
"You know, you should really stop pushing her buttons like that."
"Yeah, I know, Zane, but I can't help it. It's so much fun."

It's like they gave me enough evidence to further read into things.
Or maybe that was just luck.
I thought Meadow needed to work off that frustration. A few rounds on the punching bag should help as well.

On a side note, there was something else I noticed at Uni.
I know the dormies have much more of a life than past games. They have love interests and their own group of friends.
But things seem more dynamic lately. I've notice more of them walking around heart broken, public displays of affection, and even arguments.
