Can You Make Sims Not Jealous in The Sims 4?
Yes! With a few simple tweaks using mods and in-game settings, you can easily make your Sims non-monogamous and not get jealous in The Sims 4. This guide will cover all the ways to disable jealousy, the relationship configurations that prevent it, and managing non-jealous polyamorous Sims.
What Causes Jealousy in The Sims Games
Before diving into the solutions, let‘s quickly summarize what triggers jealousy in The Sims:
- Romantic rejection – Getting rejected when making a flirtatious advance
- Cheating – Catching a romantic partner flirting/WooHooing with someone else
- Insecurity – Low self-confidence levels or specific traits like Jealous
- Possessiveness – Strong romantic attachment to partner who interacts with others
These emotional reactions vary by game, but the core triggers remain similar. Now let‘s see how we can prevent them!
Completely Disabling Jealousy in The Sims 4
If you just want to turn off jealousy entirely, using mods is the simplest approach. Here are the best options:
Using WickedWhims
This NSFW mod has a built-in jealousy disable setting:
- Access WickedWhims > Settings > Relationship > Cheats
- Toggle Disable Jealousy System to True
All Sims will now have jealousy disabled!
With MC Command Center
Another powerful customization mod with a jealousy toggle:
- Go to MC Tuner > MC Pregnancy
- Set Enable Jealousy System to False
Removing Specific Sims‘ Jealous Trait
You can also disable just certain Sims feeling jealousy by removing this trait in Create-a-Sim or with cheats after game start.
Allowing Non-Monogamy Without Jealousy
If you want Sims in open relationships without turning jealousy off completely, there are a few solid strategies:
Use the Club System
Create a club with activities like "Be Romantic" and "WooHoo" set to target club members. Then add the Sims you want included to enable polyamory without anyone getting jealous!
Avoid Actual Marriages
While married Sims can still feel jealous, unmarried boyfriend/girlfriends don‘t. So have your Sims date around in open relationships without ever getting married.
Designate Specific WooHoo Partners
WooHoo Partners can have physical intimacy without romantic strings attached. So jealousy shouldn‘t be triggered by their interactions.
Adopt the Player Trait
Sims with this trait don‘t feel jealous themselves, though they can still trigger it in others. Useful for guilt-free Sims sleeping around!
Recommended Mods for Open Relationships
Along with disabling jealousy specifically, these mods are great for managing polyamory and non-monogamy:
Mod | Features |
---|---|
WonderfulWhims | More realistic attraction/relationship system |
UI Cheats Extension | Allows manipulating romantic relationships with cheats |
SimDa Dating App | Online dating features for finding partners |
WonderfulWhims combined with MC Command Center gives a powerful combo for creating customized relationship rulesets. The dating app also streamlines meeting love interests.
Comparing Jealousy Across Sims Franchise Games
The jealousy mechanics and triggers have changed over time throughout the series:
Game | Jealousy Triggers | Disable Options |
---|---|---|
The Sims | Infidelity, divorce | None |
The Sims 2 | Romantic rejection, cheating | Mods only |
The Sims 3 | Insecurity, romantic rivalry | Mods only |
The Sims 4 | Catching cheating, mean interactions | Built-in mods |
As we can see, The Sims 4 actually provides official options for controlling jealousy that have improved over time. Earlier games relied solely on mods to tweak these systems.
