Reputation

Reputation is a feature that was introduced in The Urbz: Sims in the City and return in The Sims 2 Apartment Life and The Sims 3: Generations expansion packs.

The Urbz: Sims in the City
Rep is determined by your relationship with Urbz, Urbz can go from Level 0 to Level 100. The maxium Rep an Urb can have is 999. Rep is on the HUD and when it gets to the big Star, the Rep level will go up. Socializing with Urbz to build relationship will increase your Reputation. Rep is needed to get in VIP Rooms, Go to new areas and get new items (Such as a new Skill Builder machine), and as well as seeing your Urb on posters.

The Sims 2 Apartment Life
Each Sim has their own individual reputation. Reputation is determined by how well Sim interacts with others in the society, whether it's good or bad interaction. Reputation simology can be found in the personality panel. When clicking it, the reputation meter will be shown in a bar. The reputation point is measured in the meter from the thresholds and as monikers, and it ranges from -100 to 100 (Although there is no written number in the game, each line represents 20 points). Each threshold has different reputation level. The middle threshold is the Average Cabbage reputation. All Sims except the premade Belladonna Cove Sims start from this level. Below is the levels of reputation:

Sims can only gain or lose reputation by socializing in community lot. Other unplayables, such as townies or visiting Sims on community lot also gain reputation. To increase reputation, Sim must do good interactions to other Sims, such as admiring Sims, telling jokes, giving friendly hug, or tickling. On the other hand, doing bad interactions will worsen reputation, such as gossiping, arguing, fighting, and so on. Being rejected for a socialization (such as rejected for a kiss) will also be considered as bad interaction.

Having a good reputation will give benefits to Sims, while bad reputation will give penalties. This is known as Secret Networking. Nearby Sims will react good or bad depending on Sim's reputation. Other benefits and penalties include as follows:

The Sims 3: Generations
Sims in the Generations expansion pack can attain a romantic reputation. Romantic reputations are given based on what other neighbors think of the romantic interactions that the Sim performs. They'll notice when the Sims have dates, displays affection towards other Sims, or performs other romantic interactions. This is tracked in a scrapbook and may change the Sim's reputation. Once gained, romantic reputations are hardly lost.

The factors tracked in the Scrapbook that determine which romantic reputation the Sim will have are: the number of romantic relationships developed in the Sim's lifetime, the number of times the Sim has cheated on romantic partners and the longest romance the Sim has had. The possible reputations are as follows: Monogamous Options: Non Monogamous Options:
 * None - Sim currently has no relationships.
 * Faithful - Sim has only had one relationship in their life, which has lasted for 12 days or more.
 * Eternally Faithful - Sim has only had one relationship in their life, which has lasted for 20 days or more.
 * Exploring their Options - Sim has had 3 or more relationships in their life, none at the same time.
 * Player - Sim has had 9 or more relationships in their life, none at the same time.
 * Don Juan (males) - Sim has 15 or more relationships in their life, none at the same time.
 * Man Eater (females) - Sim has 15 or more relationships in their life, none at the same time.
 * Naughty - Sim has 2 or more relationships at the same time and has not been caught by their partners.
 * Manipulator – Sim has 4 or more relationships at the same time and has not been caught by their partners.
 * Natasha (females) – Sim has 7 or more relationships and has not been caught by their partners.
 * Casanova (males) – Sim has 7 or more relationships and has not been caught by their partners.
 * Cheater – Sim has one or more betrayals.
 * Dirtbag – Sim has 4 or more betrayals.
 * Slimeball – Sim has 7 or more betrayals.

Notes:
 * In order to obtain any of the listed reputations. Your actions have to get noticed by the community. For example, a Sim will not obtain "Faithful" until they have been seen, in public, with their partner for 12 days. To get "Naughty," the Sim has to be seen commiting a Betrayal, but will not become a "Cheater" unless the person who sees them knows the Sim's current partner.
 * Casual romance options, serenading, and singing does not count toward forming a relationship or toward a Betrayal. Conversly, a Sim does not actually have to start dating another Sim to be in a relationship. Kissing and WooHoo-ing with a Sim count as forming a relationship and as Betrayal.
 * A Sim's death does not end their relationship. Beginning a new relationship after a Sim's partner has died is still considered a Betrayal.


 * Sims who have the "Cheater," "Dirtbag," or "Slimeball" reputation have a harder time when trying to seduce others, based on whether the Sim they are trying to seduce knows that they have Betrayed or not.
 * "Faithful" and "Eternally Faithful" both provide a permenant moodlet (until either Sim in the relationship commits a Betrayal).


 * WooHoo-ing with a Sim who is a "Don Juan," "Man Eater," "Cassanova," or "Natasha" will give a sim the moodlet "Incredible Time".
 * The Lifetime Reward "Clean Slate" removes a Sim's reputation (and resets their relationship length). Likewise, The Lifetime Reward "Above Reproach" reduces the chance that a Sim's actions will effect their reputation.
