Cinematic

In The Sims 2, a cinematic is a non-interactive mini-movie that occurs whenever a Sim does something that is a major change to their life and that will most likely show in the memories section. For example, if the cinematic option is enabled in game options, whenever a Sim becomes engaged, becomes married or joined, WooHoos with a Sim for the first time, or has a child, the cinematic will play and show the outcome of the event be it for the better (the Sim's proposal is accepted) or for the worse (the Sim is turned down for marriage).
