Talk:Social interaction

What do you think, should I put buy potion under special interactions for sims 2? I wasn't sure since no change in relationship occurs when you buy potions. Userafw 08:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, buying potions is not a social interaction and is thus off-topic. Makiah 01:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

congratulate?
How do a sim congratulate somebodyelse?Defending Star 09:18, June 3, 2012 (UTC)Lesya Zirka


 * In The Sims 2 for Consoles, it is a friendly interaction. In The Sims 2, I believe it is an autonomous interaction. Depends on which game you are talking about. Andronikos sig.png 08:55, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Flirting problem
Why won't my Sims flirt anymore? Whenever I get them to "Sim1 thinks Sim2 is being friendly" is when I start with simple flirting, and Sim1 ALWAYS holds back, but it never changes their relationship and Sim1 never thinks Sim2 is being awkward. What does it mean?? XXxCrazyThingXxX (talk) 19:35, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * How high is your relationship? If you just meet that person, they won't accept your flirts, but not in the way of "rejection". Or it's like your relationship isn't high enough, that Sim B doesn't want to accept any further flirts until your relationship is higher.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:07, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Their relationship is high. But it turns out if I don't do friendly interactions and just do romantic interactions, it works, for some reason. Weird. XXxCrazyThingXxX (talk) 13:25, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't slip in any "Friendly" or "Funny" interactions while you're doing "Flirty" interactions. As a side note, don't choose "Confess to Watching You while You're asleep," "Ask if Single," and "Ask Sign," which will make them think you're okay, not flirty.

 * Oh okay. But where does the "confess to watching you while you're asleep" come from? XXxCrazyThingXxX (talk) 13:22, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Supernatural. It's more of a creepy interaction, not flirty.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  13:52, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Making Out, a non romantic social?
I had to remove the reference suggesting that making out is not a romantic social, because I've had Sims make out - with and without expansion packs - and be accused of cheating before.

If that bug has indeed occurred in some people's games, it certainly hasn't occurred in mine! --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 05:12, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Even if in your case it didn't happen, it does occur in other people's case, so the note should remain. Also, I'm a bit skeptical about this. Are you sure you actually didn't have any mods that altered this, or maybe you've done anything to your game? Because I'm also questioning about the kids-growing-up-to-teens-not-having-Grow-Up-aspiration issue with you. This bug really is still in the game btw. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:39, July 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I can confirm that it isn't nonromantic in my game as well. Before I made the switch to TS3, my TS2 game was unupdated, and had absolutely no mods at all, because the old laptop had no internet. I hadn't used cheats either. I have had two sims use make out, and it had all the romantic effects, such as falling in love with each other. This is difficult to explain properly, so I'll word it this way; I was trying to create a love triangle, where Sim 1 was dating Sim 2, but Sim 3 had their sights on Sim 1. Sim 3 had done all the flirting. Sim 2 walked into the room. Sim 1 used make out on Sim 3, both fell in love with each other. Sim 2 ran over to Sim 1 and slapped him. She was furious with both of them. If it was non-romantic, that wouldn't have happened. WayfinderOwl (talk) 19:03, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

No mods, no nothing, and yes it has always counted as a romantic social in my game.

Due to the disagreements as to whether or not make out is not a romantic social, I've edited the information on the page, saying that in some releases of the Sims 2, make out is not a romantic social. So hopefully this shall compromise between people on both sides. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 21:19, July 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Do you think it could be that there may be a difference between the PAL and NTSC versions in terms of the game glitches? All my Sims games are the PAL versions, but I think most people are familiar with the NTSC versions.


 * I was wondering if that might be a reason why the making out is treated as a romantic social in some people's games and not in others. The only sorts of romantic interactions that don't pass off as such in my game is - pecking (light kissing), proposing engagement, and cheer up (not considered a romantic interaction but can trigger romantic feelings between Sims). --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:45, July 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure if different versions of the game will have different results. I thought any game versions would end up the same anyway. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  10:59, July 21, 2014 (UTC)
