How It Works
- Mainly, the player needs to have his or her Sim to be neighbor of someone.
- At first the Sim will be a total stranger, but by greeting him or her will make both Sims acquaintances with each other.
- By either being friendly or mean to the Sim the player will get new relationship status, which may need confirmation (the other player is free to accept or deny it), each relationship status will unlock special interactions between the two Sims.
- When the player's Sim does not visit other Sims for awhile, the relationship bar will decrease.
- The player may then choose the type of relationship he or she wants for the two Sims, if it is either friends, lovers, enemies, etc.
Interactions
Relationships are built (or destroyed) by interactions, similar to other games in the Sims series. There are three kinds of interactions: Friendly, Romantic, Mean, Personality Exclusive, or Quest Related. Quest Related can fall into any of the other three categories of interactions, such as the "Bah Humbug!" interaction being Mean or the "Give Holiday Gift" interaction being Friendly. Depending on the relationship status, Romantic interactions could improve your relationship with your neighbor or cause it to decrease. Personality Exclusive interactions are selected for availability based on what personality you chose for your sim upon creation or what you changed it to at a later time.
