But with socials like flirting and kissing, the Sim being cheated on must be in the room to know (children should be kept out to, as the Sim being cheated on can know from them). Also, if the 2nd lover leaves the Sim a bouquet of flowers and the Sim who was cheated on reads it, they will also know.

* The length of the Child life stage in ''The Sims 3''. Beyond just children being cute, it's actually a pretty significant life stage, as it provides a good opportunity to practice skills that will be more useful in the Teen and Young Adult stages, as well as having a fair number of unique options -- even more once Generations comes out. The problem being that on any lifespan setting other than "Epic", it's so short as to render this effectively meaningless.

* This, ''so, so much''. Also, the fans that previously whined that Sims wasn't realistic enough, then complain that The Sims 3 is too advanced. Ugh.
** There's a pretty big difference between "realistic" and "advanced," either of which can be applied to multiple types of elements in the game (graphics, style, personalities, reactions to social situations, etc). Further, it's not hypocritical unless ''the exact same Simmers'' are making both complaints (assuming each one is as equivalent as you presume): the amorphous horde on a forum making one statement is not necessarily the same amorphous horde making a different one. Coincidentally, this distinction (or rather, the frequent lack thereof) is my own fandom-based IJBM.
