But see this is the thing. The developers almost can't win. Let's say, in the case of the OP's situation, Mort was upset and divorced Bella. Many simmers would complain that they can't tell their own stories, and that situations are being forced on them.
But then you get other players who want the game itself to put its own consequences in. Not judgement to other simmers, but I never understood the "I want to tell my own stories" argument. Like the OP, it feels forced and contrived. It's what I loved about the cats and dogs ep. The pets are totally surprising. You don't know what they're going to do. I still don't think I've seen every pet animation, in fact I know I haven't as I haven't started training dogs yet.
So which is it? Player controlled drama, or uncontrolled drama from the game?
I agree with that, but I think the OP's issue is that Mortimer didn't mind at all. It's not quite clear to me however if Mortimer could possibly know, because in Sims 3 I really don't like the fact sims are psychic, being able to tell their spouse cheated on them even when nobody witnessed it. If there was no way for Mortimer to know that kid wasn't his, it's totally realistic he'll accept the kid as his own. Until Bella tells him otherwise (or a DNA test reveals it).
