Deeply Wounded

Try to get the other sim to apologize to get the timer reduced. Eventually it will go away but it can take some time. Just make sure they don't fight cause I think that'll reset the timer.

Depends what you do. Casual talk is probably the best in the beginning. I recently did the Love after Breakup scenario, and the situation was the same. Both sims were, if my memory serves, Deeply wounded. I tried for days to patch things up between them, but found no matter what I did they worked against me. Romantic interactions were out of the question! Had to settle for new love interests eventually.

You could take them on a vacation, maybe find a place with very few other sims. Less distractions. If they want social contact with anyone, they only have eachother. It could work, or it could go horribly wrong :D

That's so annoying when it happens.. Bob Pancakes flirted with my sim in front of her fiancé AT THEIR WEDDING and the fiancé got the deeply wounded sentiment and was angry during the seremony.. ugh. I made my sim apologize to him and just doing positive chatting, making sure neither would be mean to each other on their own until with time the sentiment went away. Can't remember though how long it lasted, sorry.

Thanks everybody :) It seems time heal all wounds right ? I´ll just keep playing until it solves itself.

This is why I turned off random flirting between sims that have no romantic relationship via MCCC. That way I don't have to worry about existing relationships. I mostly get the hurt sentiment between siblings or between children and adults. Besides apologizing the best thing to do is give it time. It also helps to keep the hurt sim away from the sim that caused the sentiment for a while so he won't keep getting hurt. Once the sentiment is gone everything should be fine again.

Wow. My Patriarch had that. I never saw his wife do anything untoward, either, but he could hardly be around her for his pain. I did try to have her give a smooth apology. But the thing that unnerved me the most was shortly after I noticed she was the source of his hurt, is when we got the Story Progression for the NPCs. One of my Sims called Joseph to report he had been spending time with Louise (Joseph's wife) and that they made plans to spend more time together. He was asking for advice. :open_mouth: Made me wonder if things were going on behind my back that I missed. Oh, boy. Of course, Joseph responded that if it were him he wouldn't do it. No long after that Carina, Drake's wife called Louise asking if she, Carina, should spend more time with Drake. Louise told her yes. I'm thinking two marriages were salvaged when I had no clue they were in trouble. That's when I had Louise do the smooth apology. Message received.

Best of luck. Joseph is no longer in hurt mode. He and his wife are now woohooing more often. I don't often play the other household, so I can only assume since Carina called Louise back to tell her Drake was really cool, that all is well in my Simdom. Drake and Carina are the inlaws of one of Joseph and Louise's sons.

Turning off random flirting was a sanity saver! Honestly. Now only sims who are romantically involved with eachother will flirt. I'm not a home wrecker and neither should my sims be.
