"Hi, Sim. Nice to meet you. You're my good friend!"
I just experienced an interaction that made my daughter and me laugh, with amusement and surprise.
We have a Sim in our world who's just a nice guy. He's not exceptional in any way. He is a fun Sim to have in the background of our saves, often becoming a friend of our "main character." Today Z and I decided to let him take a star turn.
He headed out to the Spice Festival, and after he'd bought a drink, he spotted a Sim we hadn't seen in one of our games before. I remember Z and me creating her, because Z gave her very short, dark hair.
Our Sim has 4 Charisma, so he's far from "overpowered" in that skill. He has a Great Reputation, but again, he's not maxed out in that trait, either. He greeted the dark-haired Sim with a Cheerful Introduction. He's used that greeting before...but not with this effect!
As soon as they exchanged "Sul suls," their green relationship bar blew up. They were immediately Good Friends. They also have the Closer From Happy Memories sentiment for each other. Their connection is completely platonic so far. We turned off autonomy for played Sims, but she would have full autonomy. She hasn't tried a Romantic interaction, and he hasn't rolled any as possible choices, either.
What could be happening here? Was this the result of hitting the right random number, or do their traits have anything to do with it? She is Good, and he is Cheerful, but they don't share a common trait.
What do you think? Have you seen this kind of instant connection?
