Better sim reactions

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

    Well, I thought that I was the only one annoyed with it...
    Yesterday I told my Sims to argue during the meal.. The first thing they did was saved to each others with smiled and then started arguing..
    It just really sad, cause 4 years after game release it hasn't been fixed. We can clearly say that it's never going to be changed.
    Whole game has a strange system. Sims talk before actions. Parents sits to talk to toddler, and then picks the kid up and give them a bath. Asks then plays.. Really annoying.
    They also sit everywhere they can. Every conversation finishes with sim going to sit.. Why can't they talk while standing?

    Instead of that we're getting ghosts walking all over the world, inviting us for a party or a meal..

    I have an issue with this, too. Sims don't really notice what's going on around them. My sim and his kid were at work/school when grandma died. They came home, didn’t even realize it. I made him mourn for her and he was sad for 4 hours. He had a really good relationship with her, but since he wasn’t there to witness the death, it didn’t affect him as much.

    And everyone has already pointed out the romantic issues with sims being cheated on and getting over it quickly. I don’t want to have to make sims have reactions, they should be based on traits and relationships, right?

    For example, bladder failure. Other sims could laugh or be shocked like in the ts3, parents could scold kids too. Witness a fight? Maybe console the one who lost or laugh at them or scold both sims involved for fighting? Maybe these interactions are in the game and I haven’t seen them yet, but there’s only Share Big News for pregnancies…is there nothing for engagement, marriages, talk about new family member kinda stuff? Congratulate on promotion? Do sims not care when they see someone with an illness?

    Sorry, I guess I kinda went into ‘interaction’ instead of ‘reaction’, haha…! They kinda go hand in hand, don’t they?


    yes i agree that not only should the reactions be updated but there should also be more interactions like the things you mentioned and give condolences for a family member that passed away also someone mentioned in another thread that reading obituaries should return from ts3 so you can keep up with the dead sims just romance and death NEED to be updatedto make this game feel more alive the sims 4 was supposed to be about the sims themself but the sims 2 sims are WAY more in depth than these

    This is what SIMGURUGRAHAM said before The Sims 4 was released "We can pretend that Sims are sad"

    Some players don't really care about anything, they just admire new recolours. Why should they change anything @AlwaysTheSun where did he say this because i don't want to pretend i want it to be really happening and see it on my sims that's a life simulator
