I am noticing surprising interactions that are making me question my memory.
Mostly while playing my sims in University. More dormies with heartbreak, displays of affection, and public arguments.
It's like I'm being given opportunities for drama with social set ups.
I also had a nice and realistic reaction to flirting.
It was so perfect that I thought it might be a fluke.

I remember feeling that way with Yuki Behr.
I noticed it, but still felt like she was still a loner, yet not annoyingly so.
I have pictures of what I experienced from a thread in the feedback forum.
Perhaps it's because I had a large break from January to July.
My sim had a love triangle a couple of Uni terms back, but now it's only Zane and Meadow Thayer.
But while at the study table one day, Cassandra Goth flirted with Zane in front of Meadow.
Meadow instantly became sad at this.
And I thought I had better put an end to this once and for all.
So I had Zane ask Cassandra if they could just be friends.
And Cassandra was like:
"Okay, Zane. I understand, friends it is."
Very calmly, no drama. Which I was happy about.
And then Meadow gets up and is like:
"I really don't appreciate the two of you flirting when I am sitting...right...here.
It's so... disrespectful!"
And then she walks off.
Afterwards, I felt like there was more to this that you could read into.
"You know, you should really stop pushing her buttons like that."
"Yeah, I know, Zane, but I can't help it. It's so much fun."
It's like they gave me enough evidence to further read into things.
Or maybe that was just luck.
I thought Meadow needed to work off that frustration. A few rounds on the punching bag should help as well.
On a side note, there was something else I noticed at Uni.
I know the dormies have much more of a life than past games. They have love interests and their own group of friends.
But things seem more dynamic lately. I've notice more of them walking around heart broken, public displays of affection, and even arguments.
If I was playing someone else, I would steal his girlfriend.
He isn't treating her right. Perfect opportunity for my sim to slip in there.
I feel like they are giving us opportunities for storytelling and drama.
Like here is a setup for you to take advantage of.

One of them is an accomplished singer. I think he's at level 7, and he has a few karaoke contest victories to his credit. He saw an acquaintance from the neighborhood at Planet Honey Pop! the other game-night. I created her, so I know she's a talented musician and singer, too. I thought they would sound good together, so I had him invite her to sing a duet with him.
The request appeared in his queue, and then it was gone. Apparently she didn't agree.

Exie hay, cavero, mabza meeah vendarzo.
Yevsas mairzeemo!
but for example in henford on bagley sims tend to gather to gossip next to my sims house in town as if they know they are being scandalous very scandalous indeed
and i've noticed the sims i am not playing at the moment romancing more autonomously if they have partner
like for example fengs just straight up decided to woohoo to conclude patinas decorating gig and i also notice judith and vlad having some sweet time on the background quite a lot
I think its cute
also i do see lots of epic encounters in the background but i guess thats more just me having added sims 2 premades in my game so I'm always like omg bruh you two making friends? thats unexpected

> @cyncie I've noticed that, too. I've also seen other Sims refuse to play along with my Sim when he asks them to do something, more often than they used to.

Thanks for the welcome. I actually registered here about 8 years ago. I’ve been reading for information, but not participating in discussions. Now that I have more time to play, I’m ready to chat with my fellow Simmers.
Related to your comment about other Sims not engaging with yours, my Sim was trying to get a friend to be best friends today, and the action got cancelled three times before they finally talked about it. One of them wasn’t so sure, apparently.
