what if I LIKE the “depressing” painting. I have a painting at home that I love to death I find it elegant and pretty, but my husband finds it creepy. So thanks sims for not realizing that two people could considered the same object two different things. I feel like this will just limit my ability to decorate.

But there is no way to keep Sims from “cheating” is there? (without a mod, that it)…

You know you can control that with the “No Jealousy” lifetime reward, right?

Uhhhg, I hate it when I finally want to settle my Sims down and then they go and flirt with someone else while I’m not looking. I’m fine with flirty Sims, but they should be flirty when I want them to be.
I seriously hope there’s a way to make more faithful Sims…there should always be more options.

Everytime I play with a certain one of my Sims I’m just like, “Okay, now go call your girlfriend…NO! Don’t kiss that girl! UUUUGGGHHH! What have you done? Your girlfriend is mad at you now…Oh, oh, she broke up with you. Just great.”

I agree, While things like that happen in real life, and it IS a life simulation, there are couples that stay together, faithfully, 80 years or more. That should be reflected as well.

I understand wanting to play a specific way, but sometimes it’s interesting to tell a story with drama and conflict. I play multiple towns, and some of my families are picture perfect, but others have all kinds of crazy relationship drama going on!

I myself HATE soap operas, with ONE exception: I used to be slightly addicted to “Port Charles”. Mainly because it was a supernatural/vampire story. When it dragged so much I would skip days. I would come back to see I missed the good stuff. Then it ended, in one heck of a messed-up way! O.o

One thing I am NOT liking about Sims4 so far is the “promiscuity”.
I wanted more faithful partners or what was the point in exclusive dating or the marriages?
I didn’t want my game to mimic real-life idiots that much. Hard to play a game the way “I” want, when this was an issue.
There needs to be a “faithful” trait…

Nah, I prefer to have my own personal science fiction story.
