Hello! :) I was just wondering if someone could answer my question? Basically, I started off with a male and female Sim in a household, who eventually got married! Anyhow, out of interest, I started increasing friendship and then the romantic relationship with a DIFFERENT male Sim (to get to know how the game works, I was just testing a lot of different features, really). Anyhow, I managed to get their relationship bar full and they ended up dating each other! So my Sim was married to one Sim whilst having a relationship with the other? And neither Sim accused my Sim of cheating or anything... I remember in TS3 how angry the romantic interest would get if you so much as did the Kiss action with another Sim! I was wondering if it's a glitch or something? Thanks for your time :)

To get jealousy they practically have to be in the same room. Although I've heard sometimes there has been no jealousy at all for some reason.

Ooooh, I didn't know this was possible. This brings up a whole new possibility for my sims plans. I had wanted to do something like this, but thought it wasn't possible, thanks for letting me know it was! Sims plots ahoy!

Well, I have a bit of a drama going on in my simworld. And I had the hubbie get another girl preggars and had her visit and give them both the news. The wife didn't get upset. And when I had her ask the other woman if she was single, her reply was she is "seeing someone". Usually they say who they are seeing if there is no intertwined relationship. I've been experimenting with different gameplays.

It seems that old days when two fell in love, moved together, had a couple of children and lived together until they died are considered so boring nowadays. The sad thing is that a lot of people actually do so and the game just mirrors their lifestyle. Or it's just me going pessimistic?

It is kinda weird how they don't react at all! I remember how crazy the Sims would be if you cheated on them in TS3 haha! Kind of a bonus though, it used to take me hours to get TS3 Sims to forgive me. Lol!

Also married sims can ask other sims to be their girl/boyfriend so your sim can be married and also have a boy/girlfriend. The prima guide confirms this.

There are still people who remain faithful to their spouse and never cheat.

Same with sims. My couples won't cheat because I don't plan on switching households.

I really think it's great to have options for polygamy in the game.

You're reading way too much into a game. That's like saying the people who play shooters really wish they could be out killing people.

Some people find juggling multiple relationships in the game to be fun and/or a challenge. There's not really any more to it than that. And, for what it's worth, infidelity has been around probably since the dawn of humanity -- it's certainly not anything modern.
