Line 23:
'''Getting caught by children'''
 
If theychildren 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. They don't get any visible memories from this aside from any meetings, but effectively act like a Sim who has been cheated on. They'll either cry or get angry at the parent. 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.
 
===Jealousy===
Line 29:
Whenever a [[Sim]], who has a crush on or is in love with another Sim watches the latter partake in some romantic [[Interactions|interaction]] with another, jealousy occurs. In ''The Sims 2'', if ''[[Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, jealousy also triggers [[fury]]. This doesn't take into account whether or not the feelings are one-sided, which may be messy for unrequited crushes. 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.
 
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 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]].{{vgversion|TS2}}. This relationship drop enables breaking up, assuming the Sims were going steady, engaged, or married.
 
The cheated-on Sim may reject the cheater should they try to interact with them romantically.
 
==Repairing relationships==
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 Crushcrush/Lovelove markers, and even trigger Furyfury to make things that much harder).
 
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{{Vgversion|TS2:NL}} or "Betrayed" moodlet{{Vgversion|TS3}} has ended; if not, the betrayed simSim will not accept the apology. It is easier to repair relationships if the Sims are ''BFF's'', if the Sim uses the "[[aspiration benefit#Romance|Smooth Talk]]" interaction,{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} or "Repair relationship with..." interaction after studying "[[life skills|Couples Counseling]]".{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}
 
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.
 
As well as repairing jealousy, there is also a way to prevent it. In ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', a new [[Lifetimelifetime Rewardreward]] is added; No Jealousy. This reward costs 10,000 lifetime happiness points. Purchasing the lifetime reward eliminates jealousy altogether. The No Jealousy reward also makes it possible to create a polyamorist Sim, with multiple lovers living under one roof.
 
==Effects of affairs==
Line 52:
When affairs/cheating occurs, the Sim will be jealous and some relationship is lost. No points are lost if the No Jealousy is chosen.
 
With ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'', when cheating occurs [[Reputation#The Sims 3: Generations|Romanticromantic reputation]] may change, and after sometime the spouse/lover may get the "Betrayed" moodlet and will autonomously accuse the Sim of being a cheater and their relationship will decline.
 
===The Sims 4===
If an affair/cheating is noticed by the betrayed spouse, they will become [[angry]] and relationships points will be lost.
 
Sims involved in an affair can be convinced to leave their spouse, which immediately divorces the Sim from their spouse. The Sim that was cheated on will not get the divorced moodlet. The spouse that the cheating Sim cheated on will automatically become upset (if seen having an affair) and will cry.
