===Chat===
This interaction is always available. In this interaction, Sim A chooses an interest to talk about and the reaction is based on Sim Bs level of interest. If they love the chosen topic, they'll respond enthusiasticly and both will gain 5 daily. If they feel neutral, they'll hardly respond but both will gain 2 daily. If they hate the topic, the conversation will end and both lose 1 daily. If the conversation continues, Sim B may either talk about the topic or choose one of his own. 

Alternatively, sims may choose to talk about their memories. Interests in memories depend on Outgoing, mood and lifetime. When the memory gets talked about, Sim B learns about the memory and can choose to talk about it to a third sim. Although this interaction is autonomous, no personality is weighted towards this interaction.
