This list will definitely expand in the future.
  • Does anyone know where "Ask to Be Just Friends" is? I didn't see it on the list above, which is very possible I overlooked it. I would assume in Friendly but I didn't see it in game.

    It appeared in the very first conversation group for me, before Friendly and all that.


    Thank you!
  • To add to this thoughtful list, when you take your Sims on a date to a restaurant, the interaction to socialize about food is also found under Friendly>Interests. I had to search and search, and it nearly frustrated me to the point where I almost quit the game for the day. I do have to say, with time, this reorganization will prove helpful, but until we all get used to it, it's a bit of a nightmare. I knew I had to click Friendly so many times to find the Deep conversation that is also required during dates.
  • Ok thanks @EgonVM . Good to be reminded that traditional social menu is always an option when I can't find something!

    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?
