A major new feature in The Sims 4 now, feelings. They allow your Sims to behave differently with every other character, depending on what happened between them in the past. A simple example: if your Sim cheated on his or her partner, there will be a kind of nagging resentment, and all your conversations will start with an unpleasant mood. On the other hand, if you've had a crazy experience, such as climbing the Mount KomorebiYou will be able to evoke your past memories with nostalgia.
All these feelings are defined for each relationship. You can see them by clicking on the head of a sim in the Relationships tab.
On the window that appears, called Profile, you will find all the basic information about the sim (traits, career, relationship) but also the feelings of one towards the other.
As you go over the feelings you see what they are due to and what they provoke.
These feelings will change the behavior of the Sims when you interact with them but also their autonomy. Some behaviors will be more advanced if sims are jealous for example.
There are almost sixty feelings. The list will be updated as we discover them, but here are some of them.

| Furious about an infidelity | Furious | X can't BELIEVE that Y would do this to their relationship! All he has to do is see Y to rethink the fact that Y has betrayed his trust and cheated on him. |
| Furious | Furious | Seeing Y is enough to make X angry these days. Honestly, how dare he be there in front of him? |
