* Even in the first game there were hints of this. If free will is on and a parent is left doing nothing while their child is asleep, they will sometimes go [[ComfortingComforter tuck them in]] and kiss them goodnight. Awww! They do in the second game too (where the awww factor is upped even further, as grandparents and older siblings aged teen and above can now perform the action as well).

* When a kid or a teenager get an A+ at school they get excited and run to their parents to shere the news while shouting happily and jumping in excitement. And the parent then claps and cheers. So wholesome.

** Maybe it's just me, but even adults interacting with toddlers is cute to me. Like when an adult puts a toddler on the floor, and they give him/her a kiss.



* In The Sims 3, when you have the pets expansion installed, and (as far as this troper has seen) have a single adult male or female and a pet, in the pets' relationships panel the owner will be shown as mother/father.

* With Cottage Living, if you have a high relationship score with Agnes Crumplebottom, you can have a Henford-Heart-to-Heart with her about her issues with romantic love. Turns out, [[TheLostLenore while losing both Erik and Robert hurt her deeply]], she's not actually been broken by it. She's actually a bit ''grateful'' because not having a lover or family to distract her has let her experience things in her life that made it richer, with the implication that those experiences are why she doesn't like romance. [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome She wants her fellow sims to experience the world for more than the person in front of them.]]

It emphasizes we (and, well, Sims) don't just need pets, but they need ''us'' as well.

* If you max out every skill on a toddler sim, they will occasionally get a happy moodlet when they grow older, just because of how much they were cared for.



* Many of the quests in Medieval are very, very silly... but I defy you not to go "Aaaaaw" should you decide to send your Peteran Priest off to soothe/convert the resident rabid chinchillas (as opposed to the "Kill their furry bahookies" approach). At the end of the quest, you get a cute graphic of some enlightened and reverent chinchillas along with this final line:

* Various patches for Sims 3 occasionally add some pretty significant things beyond just fixes and minor feature changes/additions (stairs over gaps? Yay but unlikely to change your world). For example, one patch added in new animations... including a whole set of child/toddler animations thus allowing them to hug, have the child feed the toddler, and play peek-a-boo. D'awww...

--> The docile chinchillas roamed out into the sunlight, calm and serene. Prior (Whatever-his-name-is) smiled at them and they - like old friends - smiled back.
** You may melt now.
** Any of the quests where the intent is to get the monarch married could count as well.
** As well as any quest where there is a threat to the kingdom that allows you to peacefully remove the threat rather than outright kill it. Not to mention most of these "threats" had no intention of harming anyone in the first place.

* Generally any interaction between a child and their parent or a child and their toddler sibling.
* In the Pets expansions, if a Sim's pet loves them enough, they have a chance to save them from the Grim Reaper.
* Reviving Erik Darling in The Sims 3 could be ruled as this.
* The Generations expansion pack for The Sims 3 allows teens and older to read bedtime stories to sleepy children. After the child falls asleep, the older Sim will tuck the child in and give him or her a goodnight kiss.
* The beginning of the intro cutscene in Sims 3 where a father is flipping pancakes and the daughter feels her pregnant mother's belly, then they hug.

* Both the reveal and launch trailers for The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs are heartwarming:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFWb3lgRpcE The reveal trailer]] has two moments in particular. One sequence has a Sim grow up with a family dog, only for him to get sick and implicitly die. While also a TearJerker, it's shown that her experience with him inspired her to love animals and become a vet. The other moment comes when we see a cat [[CatsAreMean looking irritable throughout the video]], but eventually becoming friends with his owner's date's dog. The next shot immediately after shows the owners' wedding... and both pets are there. For bonus points: both owners are male.
