The Sims 4 is not just a simulation of real life, it is also a parodic simulation of real life. So the actions and reactions are supposed to be unrealistic, mayne even unsettling. If we're looking for totally realistic human behaviour, maybe we're looking for a different game.
That said, I would love to have more romantic animations where different kinds of gender and sexual identities can be expressed, even if the touch of silliness remains.
This is not true. Not true at all.
All of TS games look into real human behaviour, it is a lifesimulator after all. If you deviate too much it will stop being one. The exaggeration of real life "mannerisms" and gestures doesn't have to be, shouldn't be, so over the top that it doesn't even look like flirting or kissing anymore. Your argument almost makes it seem like the woohoo fist bump is fine, which is not. Or when two sims become boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever, they make the weirdest animation where they curl up and wave their hands as if something cute just happened....that's weird, they should instead look passionately at each other instead.
TS2 is an astounding example of what I'm trying to say. If you've ever seen sims make out in the game or smooch up the arm or suck each other's faces, it's both realistic and funny. And I loved how sims would get hot and wave their hands to make themselves chill, when they were flirting. It was really funny yet, realistic. Not like the fist bump. It was also really funny the way sims in TS2 grabbed the partner like when they were sucking their face, it was hilarious.
