The game is meant to be played as you want them to react. Of course, leaving the Sims to automously react is not going to give the response you may want. When I play, telling the story, I direct the reactions I think should occur. I do this by using my own imagination.
Imagination is only great in this game (and it is, it’s the main reason I play the game in the first place) when it gets tickled, challenged, provoked, triggered. When you have to start imagining things that aren’t there, there’s someting wrong. It’s a game, not a piece of white paper to write a story on. ‘Use your imagination’ can never be an excuse for a poor job.
Edit:
If I wanted to use nothing but my imagination, I'd spend much less money and buy some Barbies. At least, they wouldn't fight me every step of the way. If I think Barbie is angry at Ken, she's angry at Ken. If I think a Sim is upset with another Sim, they take a selfie, start up a conversation, then hug each other
