Something i have noticed while playing the game is that sims don't react logical to one another for example two of my sims were arguing and started to really dislike each other but then right after the mean interaction they just started telling jokes like everything was fine. Same goes for cheating if your sim cheats on another sim they will be sad for a couple of seconds and then it's back to romance it's way to easy and doesn't make sense at all. This really takes the immersion from the game for me. I wish it would be like the sims 3 but improved back in ts3 if your sims was arguing with another sim they didn talk normally to eachother and if they saw them on a community lot they would immediatly get mad bc they saw that sim. And for cheating if your sim had an affair and the partner found out they instantly hated eachother and it took a while to get that relationship back on track as it should be and if the parnter of the other sim found out they also immediatly hated without even knowing who you are. This adds needed challenge without making it boring. How i would like to see it is if your sim is arguing with another sim they can be friends again but it does take a while and they don't immediatly start chit chatting again. If your sim is on the same community lot as them they will get angry and maybe start arguing with them. And on the cheating part i just want it to be like in ts3 logical reactions.If you have any other ideas please let me know and also comment on what you think about this

Many have complained about this over the years. Still waiting for a substantive fix.

@Cynna @Chazzzy yess i really hope they will consider fixing this it would make the game 100% more enjoyable

For me this has been a very basic problem from the very beginning. And the reason I can’t understand why people claim Sims 4 is ‘about the sims themselves again’. It’s not, not for me that is, quite the contrary.

If my sim catches their spouse cheating on them they reject the romantic advances for days. It’s hard to actually get them to fall for them again, haven’t seen a sim start acting like it was fine after catching them. They get a angry moodlet for days as well, doesn’t just change quickly

Really i have only had that in the sims 3

Have you guys actually had a sim cheat and get caught? The romantic options aren’t even clickable because the sim would be to angry to be romantic with them. This happens on all occasions they get caught. Also the only way to get their spouse to not get jealous to complete a LTW to get the trait no jealousy. I’ll take TS4 reactions to cheating over TS3.

I have. He slapped his fiancée , then rolled whims to make out with her and marry her. He then autonomously kissed her. The whims continued like that for the next day. No mods.
In short he didn’t give a toss.

Yes i had my sim cheat multiple times it would be better if there was nice balance between the sims 4 and sims 3 reactions sims 3 might have been to heavy but sims 4 reactions are non excistent i really hope consider adjsuting this so they at least have a normal reaction instead of being constantly happy all the time

My sim cheated on her boyfriend in Sims 4 and got a message immediately after where he cheerfully congratulated her with her choice of friends, he was very happy for her. Such a free spirit. In Sims 3 it’s hard to repair the damage done but I like that. I wouldn't be so broad-minded irl myself either.

My Sims don't care about cheating partners either, they just walk around with that stupid smile on their faces.

What everyone has been talking about brings me back to the Sims 2 E3 demo and how it handled cheating and relationships. I don't recall if it all happened this way (it has been such a long time) but I assume this is what people would have loved to see. It's a little over 8 minutes, but it's hilarious and really good.

He is such an understanding sim! ;) Sounds just like my sim wanting to marry his girlfriend seconds after he slapped her for cheating on him. Maybe it was the sight of seeing his love woohooing another that prompted him to realise she was the one?

I would rather have a bit of trash can knocking over or refusing to be in the same room and maintain a civil discussion. Makes my sims feel more alive and realistic.

This. Is. Gold. On so many different levels. It’s based on personalities, it’s based on reactions (even indirectly, the sister), it’s based on completely relatable emotions ánd it’s based on the player really manipulating but with room for surprises and different outcomes.

Yes you still make your own choices but the game sends you in multiple directions and imo that is exactly what we need

Oh, by the way, regarding that marriage (lol!), I made a sim flirt with another woman on his wedding day in TS3, then sent him to the arch with his bride and this happened:

She refused to marry him. I seriously don’t understand why they managed to get things like this right in the past and not anymore.
