Social interaction

Social interactions are any actions between two or more Sims in The Sims series. They will either raise or lower relationship scores between the active Sims and this can result in unlocking more interactions to choose from.
In The Sims 2: Nightlife and later, interactions marked with lightning bolts are ones that appear earlier in the relationship than they normally would, as a result of chemistry between the two Sims. While good chemistry between two Sims will make it easier for all interactions to pass, interactions marked with a lightning bolt may still fail. Conversely, if two Sims are incompatible, they will have negative chemistry, and actions will fail more often.
