All Sentiments And What They Mean

With the Snowy Escape expansion for The Sims 4, we were also given a free update to improve relationships between our sims. This update allows sims to have more personal connections, as well as unique profiles.

Along with sim profiles, we have sentiments. In this guide, we are going to go over everything you need to know about sentiments, as well as each one available in the base game and as part of an expansion. First, let's look at what sentiment is.

What Are Sentiments?

Sentiments are essentially unique feelings that sims have for each other. They can be influenced by actions or relationships and can be positive or negative. Sentiments can work like memories as well. For example, if a couple experiences a romantic date or conversation, a new sentiment could form between the two sims. Sentiments can be long-term like this, but they can also be short-term.

There are tons of sentiments available, but a sim can only have four sentiments at a time. If new sentiments form, then the weakest will be replaced to make room for the new one.

Additionally, each sim experiences life differently, so their sentiments may vary. For example, one sim could experience positive sentiments about a moment, while another sim could experience a negative sentiment. Overall, it comes down to their own interests and relationship with the other sims involved.

Where To Find Sentiments

To find sentiments between two sims, head to the relationship panel on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Here, you will see all the sims that your sim has relationships with. Clicking on a sim will display several options, with "Open Sim Profile" being one of them. Click on this, and the Sim Profile for the selected sim will open.

This profile shows everything that you know about the sim, with the sentiments displayed at the very bottom. If you haven't had any meaningful moments between this sim, then this section will be empty. Along with the sim's sentiment toward the second sim, you will also be able to see the second sim's sentiments toward your sim. This is helpful if the second sim is not in your household.

If your sim is currently talking to another, you can see any present sentiments in the conversation panel in the top middle portion of the screen. Below the relationship levels and conversational tone, you can find an icon that looks like a book. Clicking on this will display all current sentiments that your sim has with the other.

How To Create Sentiments

To create sentiments, sims need to spend time together! Meaningful conversations, fun outings, and romantic dates can create several different sentiments.

Some sentiments involve where you are. For example, let's say you have a sim alone in a room. When their romantic partner walks into the room, certain love-related sentiments may appear. These sentiments do not last forever, but they will stick around if the two sims remain together and in love.

All Sentiments And What They Mean

As mentioned before, there are tons of sentiments available. First, let's take a look at all positive sentiments and what they mean. Some of these sentiments are only accessible with certain expansion packs, but we will go over that as well. For all of these sentiments, Sim 1 is the sim that you are currently playing.
