Default romantic boundaries
By default, any Sims created before the update will be monogamous, meaning they’ll want to stick with one partner (which was the norm before this update). However, they’ll be open to changing these preferences depending on their conversations with other Sims.
In the game’s official terms, this means that they’ll:
– Feel jealous if any romantic partner engages in non-physical romance with other Sims
– Feel jealous if any romantic partner engages in physical romance (excluding WooHoo) with other Sims
– Feel jealous if any romantic partner engages in WooHoo with other Sims
– Be able to change their jealousy triggers by talking about them with other Sims
If you create a new Sim after the update, these settings will also default to monogamy unless you change them. For townie Sims generated by the game, however, these default boundaries will be randomly generated, meaning you’ll need to learn these things about them yourself or sneak into CAS to check this tab to make sure their preferences are tailored to your liking—unless you love a good surprise!
It’s also worth noting that setting a Sim’s boundary setting to no (for example, saying they won’t feel jealous if a romantic partner WooHoos with another Sim) might still cause them to have a minor reaction depending on their selected Personality Traits such as the “Jealous” trait.
