Buy them a mood-let solver before you divorce the other half. As soon as the blue icon hits get the sim to drink it and the sad mood-let goes away. It cost 500 points from the aspiration panel.

You can use the journal to slowly reduce negative moodlets. When done for teens and kids it raises their emotional control
@HooverphonicAddictedАй бұрын
Good idea! Playing an instrument also helps with emotional control 🎶 And volounteering increases empathy
@HooverphonicAddictedАй бұрын
Also, listening to classical music is great to unwind and reduce negative/tense moodlets

To help with Dustin's character traits, you can "Encourage" his behavior when he's good. For example, after he washes the dishes, Toni can "Encourage Washing Dishes," and he'll gain some extra manners. (He has to have done the thing first before the "Encourage" option will show up. It's found in the same section as the "Discipline" interactions.) Sooo excited that you'll be picking this back up! I love this little family. Toni's doing a great job, and I can't wait to see how Dustin does as a teenager!

I love this LP. Definitely my favourite that you’ve done. I really hope it comes back! I want to see Tony become a world famous author and be able to send Dustin to college 🥹 I feel like Dustin would have a super wild college experience at first and struggle to keep up for the first few terms cause he’s partying and drinking too much cause of his unhealed trauma with his dad. He’d be a little bit of a f-boy at first cause he didn’t grow up seeing a healthy relationship. But then he would pull it together cause he wants to do his mom proud and realises he doesn’t want to follow in his dad’s footsteps!

I find you very relaxing and hilarious to listen to and love your style of gameplay. I think your voice and very pleasing English accent would suit it very well. Thanks for getting me back into the Sims again. Haven't played for years then discovered you on KZbin and downloaded the base game and building my EP slowly. Cottage Living was the first one I purchased. Thanks for the videos. Love ya. ❤

Toni divorced an absolutely god awful man. Wouldn't you be happy over that? I know I was happy to divorce my toxic ex husband so I totally understand how Toni is feeling. It's a very liberating feeling!
@TheLionPearАй бұрын
I haven't experienced that personally so obviously your firsthand experience is more valuable here, but I would think there's some sadness over what could have been (if the relationship had worked or if a better relationship had existed in its place).
@Azmina_the_warlockАй бұрын
I feel like there should be Sad moodlet for the "what could have been" but "happy" moodlet should override it, especially if the relationship dynamic is strained or difficult. But then again this is sims 4 lol that's asking too much
@SevenEllenАй бұрын
I think the decision to give the option of divorce as a positive outcome was a good idea. It can be the right thing for many people. We all just need to bare in mind when someone tells us their divorced to not say "I'm sorry", but instead ask "How do you feel about that?".
