Disadvantages

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.
