Mean (social type): Difference between revisions

'''Mean''' is one of the 3three social types that first appeared in ''The Sims'' along with [[Friendly (social type)|Friendly]] and [[Romantic (social type)|Romantic]]. In most games such as ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims Medieval'', Mean socials always takes away relationship but in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', some Act Mean socials such as Throw Signs and Firecracker Dance increase relationship. As of ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims Medieval'', it is one of the 6six social types, the others are [[Friendly (social type)|Friendly]], [[Romantic (social type)|Romantic]], Funny, Fight and Special.

Mean socials always take away relationship points and some Sims will most likely use Mean socials. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', Sims would use Mean or Fight socials if they had a negative relationship level and [[free will]] was on. In ''The Sims 3'' games, traits such as [[Mean Spirited]] and [[Dislikes Children]] can cause Sims to use Mean or Fight socials on any Sim, including the player. In ''The Sims 3'' and The Sims 3 for Console, Mean socials can cause the Sims to be kicked out for inappropriate behavior even if the socials were used on a [[Mean Spirited]] Sim.

The Mean Social type was introduced in ''The Sims'' although Mean socials were not categorized in the [[The Sims|first]] [[The Sims (console)|3three]] [[The Sims Bustin' Out|games]] while ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City|The Urbz]]'' did. Most mean socials in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out (console)|The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' did not have any side effects other than lowering [[relationship]] or Rep{{vgversion|TU:SITC}}. However, some socials in ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'' increase relationship such as Firecracker Dance.

[[Fighting|Attack]]{{vgversion|TS}}{{vgversion|TSC}}{{vgversion|TS:BO}}/Fight{{vgversion|TU:SITC}} and Slap were Mean socials in these games but were changed to [[Fight (social type)|Fight]] socials starting with the [[The Sims 2|Windows version of ''The Sims 2'']].

Note: ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims Medieval'''s socials do not have the same social type. Socials with a {{Vgversion|TS3}} means that the social is Mean in ''The Sims 3 ''but not in ''The Sims Medieval''. Socials with a {{Vgversion|TSM}} means that the social is Mean in ''Medieval'' but not in ''The Sims 3''.
