Description of V3 of Realistic Reactions
The Realistic Reactions Mod for The Sims 4 is designed to overhaul how sims react to situations in the game. It is split into modules so you can pick and choose which features you want in your game. Due to the intensity of moodlets/buffs, you may wish to use with mods that disable emotional deaths (I tested these mods without other mods and did not experience emotional deaths, but wanted to provide a disclaimer). Future updates will provide buff intensity options and autonomy controls.
The current modules are the Cheating Overhaul and the Children Witnessing Their Parents Fighting Overhaul
MODULE 1: Cheating Overhaul V3
In the current version of the game, when a married/dating/engaged sim gets caught cheating by their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée, their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée gets jealous for a period of time (they receive a +3 angry Flirty Spouse buff that lasts for up to 23 hours) and that's it. The cheating spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée and the person they cheated with are happy from their romance and if the married/dating/engaged couple has children, there is no effect on the children at all. This fits with the cartoony nature of The Sims 4, but doesn't necessarily fit a more realistic play-style.
With the Cheating Overhaul module, if a sim cheats and is caught by their spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend or fiancée, the following will happen:
- The married/dating/engaged sim will receive a random buff (for example, they may become embarrassed, sad, or stressed, receiving a +50 embarrassed, sad, or stressed moodlet "Caught Cheating" that lasts for 24 hours).
- Their spouse will get a new +50 angry buff/moodlet "You're A Cheater" (in addition to the angry +3 Jealous Spouse buff the unmodded game already gives them). This +5 angry buff/moodlet "You're A Cheater" lasts for 2 days (it lasts for up to 8 days if you have roburky's Meaningful Stories installed). The intensity of the buff will be changed to give different options in an update).
- The sim that cheated with the married/dating/engaged sim will become embarrassed, receiving a +50 embarrassed moodlet "Caught Cheating With Married Sim" (for married sims) and "Caught Cheating with Taken Sim" (for dating and engaged sims) that lasts for 4 hours ( it lasts for up to 16 hours if you have roburky's Meaningful Stories installed).
- If the married/dating/engaged sims have children and they are present, the children will receive a +50 sad moodlet "Cheating in Household" if they are in the child/kid life stage. Teens-Elders that witness their parents cheating will receive a +50 angry version of the "Cheating in Household" moodlet. For both the kid and teen-elder versions, the buffs last until a special interaction is used.
This moodlet last until on of their parents use the "Console About Witnessing Cheating" interaction. After the interaction is used, their children (of any age) will no longer have the +5 sad/angry "Cheating in Household" moodlet/buff.
New interactions will unlock for the Household. Some can change or remove the buffs/moodlets they have received.
For the married/dating/engaged sim that cheated:
- Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Apologize for Cheating" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée that you cheated on
- Under the Mean interactions menu, the new interaction "Convince That Your Cheating Is Their Fault" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée that you cheated on. This will remove their +5 embarrassed moodlet "Caught Cheating".
For the sim that was cheated on:
- Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Forgive for Cheating" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée. This will remove the sim's angry moodlets and replace it them with a +5 sad moodlet "Forgave Spouse For Cheating" that lasts for 4 hours for married sims and a +5 sad moodlet "Forgave For Cheating" that lasts for 4 hours for dating and engaged sims.
Their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée will no longer have the embarrassed moodlet. It will be replaced with a +5 sad moodlet "Forgiven For Cheating" that lasts for 4 hours.
- Under the Mean interactions menu, two new interactions "Confront About Cheating" and "Fight For Cheating" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée.
If the sims is married, the interactions "Confront For Cheating With Your Spouse" and "Fight For Cheating" will appear when clicking on the sim your spouse cheated with. If the sims is a boyfriend, girlfriend, or fiancée, the interactions "Confront For Cheating With Your Romantic Interest" and "Fight For Cheating" will appear when clicking on the sim your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée cheated with.
For both of the married/dating/engaged sims if they have children:
- Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Console About Witnessing Cheating" will appear when clicking on your children. Doing so will remove that child's +5 (sad moodlet for kids and angry moodlet for teen-elder) "Cheating in Household". If used with roburky's Meaningful Stories mod, there may be lingering sadness buff that appears (in my testing, the time varied from 1-2 hours).
For the sim that the married/dating/engaged sim cheated with (if in the active household):
- For Married Sims: Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Apologize for Cheating With Their Spouse" will appear when clicking on the spouse of the person you cheated with.
For Dating/Engaged Sims: Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Apologize for Cheating With Their Significant Other" will appear when clicking on the boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée of the person you cheated with.
- For Married Sims: Under the Mean interactions menu, the new interaction "Taunt About Cheating With Their Spouse" will appear when clicking on the spouse of the person you cheated with. This will remove their embarrassed moodlet and give them the new interaction "Brag About Cheating With Married Sim" (this will not appear on the sim they cheated with,the spouse they taunted, or children that witnessed the cheating occur).
For Dating/Engaged Sims: Under the Mean interactions menu, the new interaction "Taunt About Cheating With Their Significant Other" will appear when clicking on the boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée of the person you cheated with. This will remove their embarrassed moodlet and give them the new interaction "Brag About Cheating With Taken Sim" (this will not appear on the sim they cheated with, the boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée they taunted, or children that witnessed the cheating occur).
Those moodlets and interactions all happen when a sim is caught cheating, but what happens if an active sim cheats and isn't caught?
If a married/dating/engaged sim cheats but is not caught, both they and the person they cheat with are given hidden traits and buffs.
Both sims will receive a hidden "Cheating Confession" trait. This will give the married/dating/engaged sim a hidden "Cheating Confession" buff that lasts indefinitely and allows them to confess their cheating to their partner. The person cheating can confess to their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée using the new interaction "Confess To Cheating" which will remove the hidden "Cheating Confession" trait and buff.
MODULE 2: Kids-Elders Witnessing Their Parents Fighting Overhaul V3
In the unmodded game, sims react to their parents fighting with each other as if they would to seeing anyone fight (the buffs the game gives them to show them to be either happy or embarrassed about their "friend" winning/losing the fight). This mod overhauls the sims' reaction to make them realistically react with sadness or anger after witnessing their parents fighting.
After seeing their parents fighting, kids will receive +5 sad moodlet "Witnessed Parents Fighting" that lasts for two hours. Teens-elders will receive +5 embarrassed moodlet "Witnessed Parents Fighting" that lasts for two hours after witnessing their parents fighting(this buff may last for up to 4 hours if roburky's Meaningful Stories mod is installed).
- Disabled Autonomous "Confess to Cheating" interaction. Also, after confessing once, the interaction is removed (until cheating occurs again).
- Confronting or Fighting Cheating Partner (or the person they are cheating with) will result in major changes to their friendship/relationship.
- Removed some of the actions were causing sims to be labeled as cheaters incorrectly.
- Traits now factor into how cheating affects everyone involved: they may get angry, sad, or feel fine (for example, evil sims will fell fine after being caught cheating).

OLD VERSION OF MOD:
Thank you to everyone that has downloaded the mod so far! I've been working hard on an update and V2 contains the following changes:

This menu currently only appears when clicking on your active sim, and not when clicking on another sim).
- The Cheating Overhaul has been expanded beyond spouses to work with boyfriend/girlfriends and fiancées.
- If you have the Get Famous Expansion, cheating and using any mean interactions from this mod such as Fighting or Taunting may result in reputation loss if other sims see you doing them.

- The "Fight Spouse for Cheating" option is now autonomous only for Evil and Mean sims. It is now user-directed for everyone else.
- The +4 angry and embarrassed Buffs have been increased to +5 intensity.
- The "Convince Your Cheating Was Their Fault" option was accidentally set for only Evil and Mean sims in the original mod. This has been fixed to be available for everyone.
- The "Children Reacting to Their Parents Fighting" module has been changed so that sims of all ages will react to their parents fighting. Child sims will still get sad, but teens-elders will get embarrassed at witnessing their parents fight with each other.
- A new "Absolve Self Of Guilt" interaction has been added. Sims that cheat can use this interaction with friends.
- The "Confess to Cheating" option was set to appear randomly in the original mod. This has been fixed (if someone cheats, but isn't caught, they will have the interaction until it is used).

Please note, in the screenshot for "Buffs with roburky's Meaningful Stories mod installed", I used roburky's Meaningful Stories Mod which makes emotions last longer. That mod can be downloaded HERE. Also, this mod may be best used with mods that disable emotional deaths, such as MCC Command Center which has this feature (To enable, open the MCCC menu on the computer and click -> MC Tuner -> Change Interaction Behavior -> Allow Emotional Deaths).
New interactions will unlock for the Household.
For the married/dating/engaged sim that cheated:
- Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Apologize for Cheating" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée that you cheated on
- Under the Mean interactions menu, the new interaction "Convince That Your Cheating Is Their Fault" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée that you cheated on. This will remove their +5 embarrassed moodlet "Caught Cheating".
For the sim that was cheated on:
- Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Forgive for Cheating" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée. This will remove the sim's angry moodlets and replace it them with a +5 sad moodlet "Forgave Spouse For Cheating" that lasts for 4 hours for married sims and a +5 sad moodlet "Forgave For Cheating" that lasts for 4 hours for dating and engaged sims.
Their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée will no longer have the embarrassed moodlet. It will be replaced with a +5 sad moodlet "Forgiven For Cheating" that lasts for 4 hours.
- Under the Mean interactions menu, two new interactions "Confront About Cheating" and "Fight For Cheating" will appear when clicking on your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée.
If the sims is married, the interactions "Confront For Cheating With Your Spouse" and "Fight For Cheating" will appear when clicking on the sim your spouse cheated with. If the sims is a boyfriend, girlfriend, or fiancée, the interactions "Confront For Cheating With Your Romantic Interest" and "Fight For Cheating" will appear when clicking on the sim your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée cheated with.
For both of the married/dating/engaged sims if they have children:
- Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Console About Witnessing Cheating" will appear when clicking on your children. Doing so will remove that child's +5 (sad moodlet for kids and angry moodlet for teen-elder) "Cheating in Household". If used with roburky's Meaningful Stories mod, there may be lingering sadness buff that appears (in my testing, the time varied from 1-2 hours).

- For Married Sims: Under the Friendly interactions menu, the new interaction "Apologize for Cheating With Their Spouse" will appear when clicking on the spouse of the person you cheated with.

Those moodlets and interactions all happen when a sim is caught cheating, but what happens if an active sim cheats and isn't caught?
If a married/dating/engaged sim cheats but is not caught, both they and the person they cheat with are given hidden traits and buffs.
Both sims will receive a hidden "Cheating Confession" trait. This will give the married/dating/engaged sim a hidden "Cheating Confession" buff that lasts indefinitely and allows them to confess their cheating to their partner. The person cheating can confess to their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancée using the new interaction "Confess To Cheating" which will remove the hidden "Cheating Confession" trait and buff.

The second module is the Kids-Elders Witnessing Their Parents Fighting Overhaul.
In the unmodded game, sims react to their parents fighting with each other as if they would to seeing anyone fight (the buffs the game gives them to show them to be either happy or embarrassed about their "friend" winning/losing the fight). This mod overhauls the sims' reaction to make them realistically react with sadness or anger after witnessing their parents fighting.
After seeing their parents fighting, kids will receive +5 sad moodlet "Witnessed Parents Fighting" that lasts for two hours. Teens-elders will receive +5 embarrassed moodlet "Witnessed Parents Fighting" that lasts for two hours after witnessing their parents fighting(this buff may last for up to 4 hours if roburky's Meaningful Stories mod is installed).
