  • Ok thanks @EgonVM . Good to be reminded that traditional social menu is always an option when I can't find something!

    This is so useful! I love the menu redesign but there are a few interactions I've had trouble locating.

    I think that I have to play the Sims for an entire year to get used 100% with these new categories in the menu.
  • Does anyone know where I can find the "convince to leave spouse" interaction. Is it gone? I can't find it anywhere

    Just a shot in the dark but maybe Mean or Gossip? Or maybe even Romance? I haven't had that interaction too often over the years but maybe it has something to do with the relationship levels as well?

    Where is "help fix bad relationship"?


    It is a totally uncategorized interactions, meaning it should show up with other recommended interactions when you first click on a sim. If you can't find it, try going to gameplay settings and turning on the traditional social menu. That way this interaction should appear alongside the main categories (and other totally uncategorized interactions).
