How to Change Romantic Boundaries in The Sims 4

As a long-time gamer of The Sims series, I’ve seen my fair share of virtual relationships that either thrived or crumbled due to lack of communication and respect for boundaries. With the latest update in The Sims 4, I’m thrilled about the introduction of romantic boundary settings. These new features add depth to the gameplay experience and make relationships feel more authentic and dynamic.

Prior to the arrival of The Sims 4’s Lovestruck expansion, players received a complimentary upgrade for the base game. This update brought about numerous enhancements. Among these new features were fresh cosmetics, adjustments to specific settings to foster inclusivity, and various other user-friendly refinements.

Some features in The Sims 4 were adjusted not just for the Lovestruck expansion, but also to enhance the authenticity of romantic relationships within the game. This article will delve into the aspect of romantic boundaries, a new setting added with the free update on July 23, 2021.

In The Sims 4, users have the ability to modify their Sims’ romantic preferences by accessing the “Romantic Boundaries” tab in the advanced settings under the Identity Panel using the three dots button. This adjustment will influence which behaviors will provoke jealousy and emotional distress for the Sims.

Here are the romantic boundary options available in The Sims 4:

  • This Sim feels jealous if any romantic partner engages in non-physical romance with other Sims
  • This Sim feels jealous if any romantic partner engages in physical romance with other Sims (excluding WooHoo)

In The Sims 4 game, players can define how specific behaviors trigger jealousy when configuring their Sim’s romantic boundaries. This feature provides more control over the intricacies of Sims’ relationships.

In The Sims game, establishing romantic boundaries allows for the possibility of polyamorous relationships. If both Sims in a partnership consent to their partner engaging in romantic involvement with other Sims, this can prevent jealousy from arising, provided that everyone involved respects each other’s boundaries.

If a Sim’s feelings towards their romantic relationship aren’t honored, they may experience pain, develop the Jealous trait, and ultimately end things with their significant other.
