Achieving a committed relationship, known as “going steady,” within The Sims 2 requires a series of successful interactions and relationship milestones. A high relationship score between two Sims is essential, alongside consistent positive social interactions such as chatting, flirting, and playful actions. The specific interaction that initiates this relationship stage appears within the interaction menu once sufficient relationship points are achieved and compatibility factors are favorable.
Forming committed relationships is crucial for advancing Sim storylines and unlocking various gameplay benefits. Such relationships allow Sims to move in together, share expenses, and eventually get married and start families. Historically, the ability to form relationships has been a cornerstone of The Sims franchise, reflecting the series’ focus on simulating real-life social dynamics and life events. This particular milestone represents a significant advancement from casual dating and signifies a deeper connection between Sims.
