So since I'm brand new to Sims 4 I'm still trying to figure things out. My latest inquiry revolves around the relationship panel for a sim. Is there any rhyme or reason for the order of the sims listed. In the past they were sorted by strength of relationship, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Sims 4. I can't figure out how they are listed. It seems random...but I really hope it isn't. Help?

I think it's by who you last spoke to?

I think it goes in order of last the last time you've had an interaction with them. Like the last person on the list is the sim that you haven't spoken to in a while.

I'm more than sure it's on what you last interacted with someone - or whom ever you last spoke to etc

I also needed some time to figure this out. I still think it's confusing. I miss the way they were ordered in sims 2. The sims you are with at the moment should be first, followed by the rest sorted with highest relationships first.

It does make some sense to have it that way.. but at the same time it's kinda like a phone - hear me out - like the last person you called or text being the top and those you've not spoke to in a while being after that... in the order that you last spoke to them :#

it should be alphabetical. Otherwise it's impossible to find anyone. Also, why isn't there a damn "family members" sub tab?

I think the relationship panel needs to be improved. If one of my Sims attend a party and meet a lot of new Sims, he could forget his best friend as a child just because he hasn't talked to him in a while. He could also forget his worst enemy or his former girlfriend. Their should be protected slots in the memory list for the Sims he should not forget

Relationship culling is absolutely awful. An option to save those relationships we want to keep would be awesome.

I always took it to be age-related.

It's ordered by who you last talked to.
