Sentiments and Rotational Play
Do you think that sentiments will work well for rotational players? I have read that sentiments wear away kind of fast. I'm afraid they become obsolete for rotational players, specially when playin...

I’m a bit sad to hear that the sentiments just fade away. I was rather hoping they would be more like memories and have longer impacts on the Sims lives. I also play rotationally and I’m wondering about this too.
I think it was Graham who said that sentiments last for varying lengths of time and they fade away, but you can also prolong the sentiment by repeating the action that caused it. Frankly I wouldn't want my sims stuck with strong sentiments their whole life, I think it's normal that they fade away after a while. Now we need to see how long certain sentiments last by default, for some sims they may last longer depending maybe on their traits. I imagine it will be possible to mod them if you want certain sentiments to last longer.
I really wish they'd consider traits for things like this. Like melancholic sims should hold on to sentiments longer than cheerful ones, jealous sims should hold a grudge about cheating for the rest of their lives, child-hating sims should develop grudges against children far more quickly and easily than family-oriented sims and they should last longer etc.
I'm sure it doesn't work like that but it would actually be a really nice way to make the traits we pick more impactful as well.
That's actually an awesome idea. I wish they'd have done that.
Me too - if they can't make the traits better, adding in stuff like this still offers them a genuine opportunity to repurpose them in far more meaningful ways. But given that they've said sims don't all have the same sentiments toward the same events, maybe there is at least something like this in place? Really quite curious to find out tomorrow!
