Purpose
-------
The purpose of this guide is to give a detailed account of all possible sim
interactions in the game. An interaction is any action that appears on the pie
menus when you click on another sim. In The Sims Hot Date and The Sims
Vacation these interactions are grouped under categories such as "hug or kiss".
Each category contains the individual actions like "Peck or Passionate". The
reason this guide is not a complete record of ALL actions is that actions vary
depending on your sim's mood and the other sim's mood, that means that it is
very hard to make sure that you account for all actions. That's why I would
appreciate it if you would send in any new interactions that you find.
===============================================================================
Your Job
--------
Send in any information that you have that belongs in this FAQ. Including
corrections, additions, and observations. I know I can not possibly have
accounted for every interaction and I'm counting on you to help make this
guide complete. Once again thanks for all the submissions I have received, it
is only through you guys that this guide continues to grow more complete and
helpful for everyone.

Technical Support and Serial Numbers
------------------------------------
I would like to state that I am NOT a technical support person. All of my
sim games run fine and I likely do not know how to fix your problem. If you
have any problems with a sim game you should read the manuals and documentation
that came with your name, visit the official web site, or find a support board.
Secondly I will NEVER EVER give ANYONE ANY serial number for ANY reason. I am
tired of telling people this and will no longer be sending them a politely
worded email to this effect, any additional requests for serial numbers will
be forwarded to Maxis' piracy department! I don't care why you say you need a
serial number, if you have a genuine reason technical support should be able to
help you. If you have a pirated copy and that's why you have no serial number
I am not about to help you by giving you mine!
