Conversation

A conversation is an event in The Sims series, that happens when Sims interact with each other through social interactions.

While having conversations, Sims can gain and lose "relationship points" and have new friends, lovers and enemies. Conversations can be friendly, flirty, or mean, causing different events to happen and possibly give Sims memories related to those events, such as becoming best friends.

The Sims 4
Conversations in The Sims 4 work similarly as in previous games, but this time emotions have a big part on how different conversations can go. Playful Sims can easily turn a conversation into a funny one, embarrassed Sims can turn it into awkward one etc.

When starting a conversation with an another Sim, a tab will appear on the screen. The tab shows the opposing Sims emotions and mood of the discussion. Usually at the start of a conversation the tab says "Casual Discussion" and will develop into other types of discussion such as "Pleasant Conversation", "Suggestive Conversation", or an "Offensive Conversation". For example, if a Sim uses the same social interaction over and over again on the other Sims in the discussion, it will turn into a "Boring Conversation", or if a Sims jokes fail many times, the conversation can become tedious and makes the Sim with the failing jokes embarrassed. Sims who also flirt with a Sim who is not interested, makes the discussion an "Awkward Conversation" or a "Very Awkward Conversation". Greeting strangers with a funny introduction, can start the conversation as a funny one or having a rude introduction can start it as an unpleasant one. Other introductions such as a flirty greet or a charming introduction can be gained when leveling up the charisma skill.
