I love you, my Despised Enemy

I miss the interpersonal conflict that ts2 contained.

Though... I have no problem with the concept of enemies who should have the occasional 'angry woohoo' interaction. This should be a thing. So much anger, so much rage, so much woohoo-tension?
Heck, even a rage filled snog session.
Wait... just a proper snog session in general. You know, like what was in ts2.

Yes, this is a thing. I have a ghost and vampire I'm trying to work on getting the Enemies with Benefits status - where they have a very negative friendship and a very high romantic relationship - (easier said than done with ghosts, cause she just floats off if Vlad gets too enthusiastic with mean stuff and not enough into the romance stuff - bit of a balancing act. Plus, so frustrating that we can't just call or summon ghosts, so they have to do all their wooing at public lots - oooh, just thought, maybe I can put them in a club together, that way they can meet at his castle...will try that this arvo.)

Romance and friendship take place on two separate bars so can either be compatible or incompatible. The incompatible relationship tags are things like: Total Opposites, Terrible Match, Hot and Cold, It's Awkward, It's Complicated.

Negative friendships - with no romance bar - get tags like Disliked, Despised and at the players prompting, Declared Enemies. It's this Declared Enemies relationship that has seemed to be completely abandoned. I have a few sims with this relationship, and so far it hasn't opened any new gameplay. On the oppositie end, when you declare Best Friends (BFF) , I notice they often call you and invite you over to their house, to events etc, and their relationship doesn't get culled. Maybe the Declared Enemy just means their relationship won't get culled.

It's the negative relationship (friendship bar) using positive friendly socials that could use a bit of re-tuning.
