Thought Bubbles:
@ejoslin I think they are just random. The way I think they work is there are probably just icons associated with a list of topics (i.e. Soccer, Cooking, Self, Tree, Book, Car, Job), and then all Sims randomly have a thought bubble about those topics. If there is a topic, like a recent trip to space or a new promotion, then those subject icons are accessed locally by that particular Sim, so they are restricted topics for a defined time period, by that particular Sim. The thought bubbles logic is another behavior that wouldn't be inaugural to the game engine from my experience.
@bekkasan I agree that it is great to tell stories or imagine that your Sims are in fact having a conversation about whatever is in their thought bubble.
So there's hope that they could make them better and far less shallow. That's good news.
