Because I have NO weird experiences with Sentiments at all. Admittedly I only play a childless couple (for now) but all they do is feel happy and comfy because they're in love and close to eachother. I don't even notice that it's "on" most of the time, they're just happier than they used to be.

Of course they have matching (2 out of 3) traits, which with Sentiments provide a happy boost, plus Best Friends (also happy boost), plus Soulmates (happy boost)...

Yes I use mods, but I've never had issues with sentiments between adults though, and not even toddlers until...Alissa lmao

They haven't been in the game that long though, so might at least be worth checking if the mods are at all to blame? But it's also possible there's still some general disregulation with sentiments. So far in my game they haven't been weird or overpowering but that doesn't mean they can't be (or won't be under certain conditions).

That's true, I'll definitely test them out :) thank you all. It's been causing me a lot of prolonged problems with her in particular. Her sister has the fussy trait and doesn't react the way she does. Her dad somehow managed to make her mad as well, so she spent her entire birthday party switching between crying fits and fits of rage. She's been like that throughout her entire toddler stage so far and I'm at my wits end lol

@spend4zen I can see it now...

“Alex, what’s wrong?”

“Well...” :'( “Three days ago, my brother brought his friend home from school... and they played Don’t Wake the Llama... and he lost!” ?

“Oh, no! I’m so sorry! That’s the worst thing that could possibly happen to a Sim!” ?

My young couple sims went to a festival and she had spicy food and felt uncomfortable - he felt sad because she was uncomfortable and his sadness lasted wayyy longer than her uncomfortableness!!!!

I have a couple where the husband put on a horror movie, his wife joined him, got angry for hating the movie and then he was sad for her. I think that’s actually happened to me IRL. ?

No mods at all for me, and it was happening with my 'independent' toddler. However, there did not seem to be any trigger to it - she practically woke up with it one morning. And I agree that it started after this week's patch. I wouldn't mind it if there is a real reason for it, such as her mother helping her with something instead of letting her do it herself, but if that's the case, the sentiment should be better-described.

So far I have only had good Sentiments: Either "You are so fun to be around" or "You make my day so much better". I'll try to make an enemy just to see how that works.

Ok that's way too dramatic. A toddler that has this strong feelings towards her mother for probably something so normal to occur in day to day life. I think for certain relationships these sentiments should have a different or less strong effect. This toddler is already rejecting her own mother :D Come on..

Haha, but it actually sounds normal. :D Toddlers are super dramatic and get mad at their parents for silly things on the regular.

The direction this seems take for me, is that the toddler is seen as any other life stage which is a problem as they are clearly not.

Just for jokes, I imagine her eventually pack her bags and move out of the house, cause she is tired of her mom :D

Hey, just so you know, toddlers have feelings, too. I don't know about you, but I remember incidents from my own toddler stage of life. Yeah, I also see the image of what my world looked like when staring through the slats in my crib. As people, we just don't change that much from birth onward. I did eventually outgrow much of my clumsiness, but yeah. I'm still me. All of this to say, I don't resent EA for making the Toddlers basically a life stage and I wholly disagree with you that they aren't in many ways like other life stages. Of course, they don't have all the reasoning an adult would, but getting feelings hurt is almost part and parcel of being a person or a Sim, in this instance. Would they fully analyze the why of it? No, not really. But would they have such feelings. Absolutely.

Not trying to get off topic but I remember pretty much just doing things autonomously as a baby/toddler. I didn't think, I'd just do something. When I was around...2 or 3? I used have a habit of purposefully dropping some of my toys into an aquarium full of goldfish (no fish were harmed). I was just tall enough to reach the top of the tank, and I'd do it so that I could watch the toys sink to the bottom, as it seemed really interesting at the time. I remember my parents arguing about how to discipline me and I knew what they meant/was aware and upset that I was clearly about to get in trouble. The upset feeling from being disciplined lasted me like 30 seconds, never mind over a week :(

Adding to my previous post. I started playing an off-the-grid game with new Sims, and this time, I gave my toddler the 'angelic' trait. So far, she hasn't had the 'hurt feelings' sentiment. It does seem to be related to the 'independent' trait, given everyone's posts.

Glad you're not having this issue with the new toddler. Although I wonder if it's really that because so far, my independent toddler hasn't received the hurt sentiment. But then I've been very engrossed in Animal Crossing so maybe I just didn't play him long enough :sweat_smile: Keep us posted about the angelic toddler (I do know that my charming / angelic toddlers definitely didn't have any hurt sentiments yet).
