"It's Very Awkward"

This relationship status has had me confused for years. What exactly is that description hinting at?!

Am I to take this as the sims are uncomfortable/awkward around each other but are still into each other romantically? That can't be it because the romantic bar is in the red, with a little bit of green for friendship.

Please help a fellow simmer to understand lol.

    I never saw that one before, mostly because I am too stuck in my ways of Sim Utopia...

    Anyways, I had to look it up, and according to Carl's Sims Guide. "It's Very Awkward" is related to the red romance bar AND the slightly green friendship bar! Scroll down to see all the different status options: https://carls-sims-4-guide.com/relationships/romance.php

    Thank you for asking this question because I always forget about these and I bet they will be included with the new Sediments system.


    Happy Simming!
  • Sounds like they're only in the relationship for one reason and one reason alone
  • I got that relationship status after my sim turned down advances from another sim during the free love NAP. Basically the other sim just started serenading and then kissing my sim out of the blue then asked her on a date and was turned down.
  • It's very awkward happens when two Sims had a very serious break up. Basically they are on friendly terms but their romance is -100%. Usually happens after a divorce. There is also opposite of this - wicked romance or something like that - when two Sims HATE each other but have very high romance score. "I hate you but I must have you", basically.

    I was under the impression that a red romance bar means the sims want nothing to do with each other romantically. Though in my sim's contextual socials there was an option to kiss the other sim.

    Perhaps I'm thinking too much in black and white. :lol:
    Red = "Ew, you're yucky"
