The No Jealousy reward also makes it possible to create a polyamorist Sim, with multiple lovers living under one roof.Įffects of affairs The Sims, The Sims Bustin' Out and The Urbz: Sims in the City Purchasing the lifetime reward eliminates jealousy altogether. This reward costs 10,000 lifetime happiness points. In The Sims 3: World Adventures, a new lifetime reward is added No Jealousy. If a couple somehow manages to get tarnished by an accidental affair, it may be best to use cheats or hacks, such as InSimenator, to fix the problem, or exit without saving.Īs well as repairing jealousy, there is also a way to prevent it. It is easier to repair relationships if the Sims are BFF's, if the Sim uses the " Smooth Talk" interaction, or "Repair relationship with." interaction after studying " Couples Counseling". To apologize for an affair, select the cheater and click on the spouse cheated on and select "Appreciation/Apologize" from the pie menu, but only after the fury or "Betrayed" moodlet has ended if not, the betrayed Sim will not accept the apology. Getting caught in an affair won't always spell the end of a relationship, but it can make bringing it back up extremely hard, especially if the scorned Sim is more interested in fighting with the other one (this could cause the other to lose their own crush/love markers, and even trigger fury to make things that much harder). The cheated-on Sim may reject the cheater should they try to interact with them romantically. This relationship drop enables breaking up, assuming the Sims were going steady, engaged, or married. If he or she doesn't know the other person, a "Met Sim" memory is added along with the affair and possible "Fell Out of Love" memories. The witnessing Sim often loses the crush or love marker, and his or her relationship with the cheater and the one he or she is cheating with plummets into the negative. If Nightlife or later is installed, and a Sim catches another Sim flirting with their partner, they will also be furious at their partner, regardless whether their partner rejects the flirt. This doesn't take into account whether or not the feelings are one-sided, which may be messy for unrequited crushes. In The Sims 2, if Nightlife or later is installed, jealousy also triggers fury. Whenever a Sim, who has a crush on or is in love with another Sim watches the latter partake in some romantic interaction with another, jealousy occurs. However, if one of their parents had died and they somehow didn't know about it, it could cause needless drama if they consider looking for love again as cheating. They'll either cry or get angry at the parent. They don't get any visible memories from this aside from any meetings, but effectively act like a Sim who has been cheated on. If children catch their parents cheating, they get the same relationship decreases with both their parent and the paramour and, if left to their own devices, may even attack their own parent or who the parent is having an affair with. The ghosts can even become furious with the Sim who cheated on them. Interestingly, Sims can be caught cheating by the ghost of a deceased Sim with whom they had a romantic relationship before that Sim died. When this occurs, the Sim will be slapped and many relationship points will be lost.
However, in The Sims 2, a Sim doing this will not be caught if the other lover is sleeping.
