'''Giving gifts''' is a feature introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. In order to give a gift, a Sim must have something in their [[Inventories|inventory]], such as a [[Souvenirs|souvenir]] or cell phone. The Sim that is receiving the gift may reject it, and that counts as a negative in the relationship. Most of the time, a Sim will accept the gift, which will boost the relationship. Sims are more likely to [[want]] to give a gift during [[winter]].

In order to give a gift from ''Hot Date'' onwards, a Sim must have an object in their [[Inventories|inventory]] that can be given to another sim, such as a diamond ring or flowers. The recipient will either accept the gift, boosting the relationship, or smash it, causing a big drop in the relationship, and destroying the item.


''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' reintroduces this feature, but allows Sims to gift almost every object in the game.

Giving gifts was possible in ''[[The Sims]]'', but it worked differently. The Sim being given the gift would either accept it, boosting the relationship, or smash it, which would cause a big drop in the relationship, and mean that the giver had lost that item for nothing.

Giving gifts is a feature introduced in The Sims, but was expanded on in Hot Date. In order to give a gift from Hot Date onwards, a Sim must have an object in their inventory that can be given to another sim, such as a diamond ring or flowers. The recipient will either accept the gift, boosting the relationship, or smash it, causing a big drop in the relationship, and destroying the item.

The Sims 2: Seasons reintroduces this feature, but allows Sims to gift almost every object in the game. The recipient will accept or reject the gift based on the value of the item, and their relationship with the gift giver. Sims with lower relationship will only accept high-value gifts, while extremely high relationship scores will guarantee even the most worthless object will be happily received. Sims are more likely to want to give a gift during winter.
