Re: How to stop my Sim from doing autonomous mean interactions?

I have had this problem for quite a long time.  I noticed it several months ago and stopped playing for a while until recently. Then I remembered this bug and it seems worse now than it was before. I think it has to do with hidden/stuck negative sentiments. I tried everything and nothing worked. In one household the other sim was Evil but it happened in a separate save where nobody was mean or evil. It was because Father Winter flirted with my sim and was accused of cheating by their spouse. The sentiment went away but days later the autonomous mean behavior started between them and these are sims that are never mean to each other, and almost nothing bad ever happens in this household. Then I did a tester save with two new sims, had them go steady, had one cheat on the other and after the negative sentiment wore off,the mean behavior started again. So I think it is related to a lingering/stuck sentiment that we can't get rid of by typing in cheat commands (I tried!). If you're not opposed to mods I found a mod over at MTS called Easy Sentiments Cheats and it works for base game sentiments. As a last resort I tried this the other day and it worked. It got rid of the "invisible" grudges and now everything is back to normal. I don't think I can link it here but that's the name of the mod and where it can be found. Good Luck!

  • Thanks for the suggestion, Kittybass! I figured I might have to do with lingering Sentiments... I will definitely check that mod out, sounds like a perfect solution.

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn thank you as well for the heads up! I know this might sound odd, but I am completely fine with her BF being mean/evil, hence I gave him those traits. He is an arrogant vampire snob, precisely how I wanted him, haha. It just rubs me the wrong way that his GF acts nearly the same way when she is with him, when I gave her no traits to justify it. By banning the "be mean" activities I suppose that my evil Sim will no longer be evil, which would defeat the purpose of the evil/non-evil couple dynamic I am aiming for. Still, I appreciate the help!

  • @Kittybass So, I downloaded the "Easy Sentiments Cheats" mod and removed the "festering grudge" and "furious" sentiments she had with him. Ever since, she is a total sweetheart; not a single mean or mischievous interaction has been used in the past hour! FINALLY. I can autonomously let them talk while sitting back and enjoying it... What a relief. You helped me out a ton today, thanks!

  • @Kittybass I have searched Mod The Sims and for the life of me cannot find the Easy Sentiments mod. I know you can't post the link, but could you tell me if I'm looking in the right place? Mod The Sims dot info.... searching in the bar for Easy Sentiments... keep getting No Results. I'm going nuts because my game is getting worse with these autonomous mean interactions! Thanks so much for any help you could give.

    Yes it's  on Mod The Sims. The name of the mod is Easy Sentiment Cheats v0.8 and the modder's name is Lazurusinashes. I hope that helps.
