Relationship: Difference between revisions

Once two Sims had any kind of relationship, the lifetime relationship between them would build as they spent time together on the same lot, even if they didn't interact. However, this increase in lifetime relationship would come at the expense of their daily relationship. Every so often, the daily relationship would drop by two points, and the lifetime relationship would increase by one point. In addition, some interactions between Sims, such as giving gifts, would affect the lifetime relationship. Lifetime relationships tended to be highly stable over time. Even if two Sims went a long time without interacting with one another, the lifetime relationship would barely be affected.

 

 

''[[The Sims 2]]'' retains the daily relationship score and lifetime relationship score that were introduced in ''The Sims: Hot Date''. However, Sims' relationships with one another no longer change simply because they spend time with, or around, one another. In ''The Sims 2'', the lifetime relationship score gradually approaches the daily relationship score, so over time, two Sims' lifetime relationships will build up as long as they continue to interact enough to keep their daily relationships high. Sim relationships can also be raised or lowered with the use of cheats.
