Sims should radiate social...
EsotericPolarBear:
Is this possible? I know the Social Bunny does it.
It makes sense, realistically speaking. I don't have to interact with someone to enjoy their company, just having someone else around makes a person less lonely.
Pets, too.

Having a person around and ignoring you makes you more lonely, at least it does with me.

There's a difference between ignoring and simply not doing things together.
I'm just sayin, Sims should get a boost in social when they pass one another in the hall and such.

I'm pretty sure they do boost social while sitting quietly near each other on a couch or something...because I believe it happens with Macro - Power Idle. I believe that one's known as the Sit Down and Shut Up function or something. Meanwhile, they're gaining social.
EsotericPolarBear:
actually, with power idle on, they don't get the social boost...unless it's changed in the last couple versions...
IMO, there should be idle chatter between sims if the relationship is high, independent of other actions. e.g. one sim painting and one sim on the computer in the same room, they're friends...idle chatter should occur and result in social boost.
That's the one thing that's always seemed so odd to me is that sims in the same room are oblivious to each other unless they're doing the same activity AND it's a group activity.
