IDK if I'm allowed to comment here, but I stumbled upon something weird. I have a Sim with these three traits: Proper, Good, and Loyal. I had another Sim befriend him, and then I got prompted:
"It looks like [Sim] has just befriended an Argumentative Sim! Does this mean [Sim] Likes Argumentative Sims?
I was like, wot? Why is that Sim classified as an ARGUMENTATIVE sim???

Ok, to the main point.
I have a Sim with these three traits: Proper, Good, and Loyal. I had another Sim befriend him, and then I got prompted:
"It looks like [Sim] has just befriended an Argumentative Sim! Does this mean [Sim] Likes Argumentative Sims?
I was like, wot? Why is that Sim classified as an ARGUMENTATIVE sim???Yeah, this is really weird... That sim would have -2 in the Argumentative scale... What the game could have suggested instead was Optimistic sims (Good).
I do ask you though: does your sim like Research and Debate activity?
Because the like suggestion only looks what traits and likes the other sim has and only eliminates those that has no related trait, like or lifestyle (and also preferences your sim already has or has been suggested before).
Thank you for the clarification! Said sim doesn't have the Research & Debate skill at all, never liked or disliked that skill too. But if Likes & Dislikes counts as a classification points then maybe he's got some stuff he likes that caused him to fall into that category 🤔
This Sim has a brother who is Gloomy & have max Debate skill. So if this Sim likes Argumentative Sim like his brother, does the game lumps him into that category too? Cause that's kinda absurd lol
