How do you create drama in The Sims 4?
So..... I had been making families for ages now and after one genaration I get bored with playing them until I realized that there is not much happening. They always live in a "happily ever after life...

I usualy don't have much real drama in my game, my married Sims don't cheat, nobody running around impregnating anything that walks, etc. The most drama I've ever had is when I play the Asylum challenge. But even that can get a bit stale. Watching Sims pee themselves, talk to objects, kick over the trash can, get in fights, pass out, etc. over and over can get a bit tedious. The most entertaining drama in an Asylum challenge is when they start fires from low cooking skills. But that only happened once. So last night/early morning I decided to spice things up a bit.
I had my controlled inmate get romantically involved with another inmate and then she cheated on him with yet another inmate. I felt awful about it though after the first guy ended up very sad, crying in his bed, etc. So she's 'just friends' with him and is engaged to the other guy now.
Anyway, there's no double beds in the Asylum, all singles, so they were running off for a bit of woohoo in those bushes that came with Get Together, I call them 'Woopee' bushes. lol The Asylum is on the island in Windenburg so there's a lot of them around, but some distance from their lot. I decided to put in a closet for them to use instead. It's a hoot watching all the other inmates (including her former lover) stand around and cheer when they're in there. lol
Another thing I did was have my controlled inmate beat up another inmate because he was beating the stuffings out of Blarfy for hours and hours every day. Lorraine is childish and Blarfy is her friend, I just couldn't take it anymore watching the guy punch and shove the poor defenseless bear.
She was just going to 'practice fighting' at first with him, but he kept winning and then laughing at her losing! Which caused some more drama on my part. Made me angry since she's Level 10 in Fitness and this Dude is overweight and lazy. How'd he win? So she provoked him until the fight option came up and they fought. That time she won! Yay! \o/ lol
When she was flirty, I had her make a couple batches of flirty cookies for all the inmates to enjoy. I was hoping to cause a couple inmates to hook up. Alas, it didn't happen. They got flirty alright, but didn't act on it with each other, just themselves in the mirror. lol
I know it's against the rules, but Lorraine has the hot-headed trait and frequently gets angry. She has the painter aspiration now so I was thinking about having her paint an angry painting when she's in the mood and hang it up in the asylum just for kicks. ;)
