Congratulations?

I have a female couple living together and I cant work out why, but one
keeps walking up to the other, patting her on the back and a "Congratulate"
thing comes up in her list of things she is doing (forgot what that's
called). What is she congratulating her for!? She hasn't done anything to
deserve it lol.

It's just a friendly gesture, helps with friendship levels.

Nice Sims love to congratulate others, especially friends and family. I
think perhaps they pick a memory from their time together, but not
necessarily a recent memory. You can see the bubble when they
congratulate has a picture that is typically the same type as in their
memories, not the same type as in when they chat or share interests.

Trying to imagine what they say is half the fun. Sometimes it is pretty
obvious, such as after the breakfast when the husband walks over to his
wife and congratulates her with woohoo (you see the woohoo symbol in his
speech bubble) in front of the kids. Don't try this at home! One
memorable time the teen daughter in the house had just begun going steady
with the neighbor's son, and her father came over and congratulated her.
Not with the recent romantic development, though. The speech bubble showed
a pacifier. ^_^ I think that must have been an awkward moment...

Nice Sims? Oh.. the one being congratulated never does it back, maybe she
isn't as nice then lol.
As for the woohoo bubble (that's the purple heart isn't it?) in front of the
kids... that is a worry lol.
I haven't gone as far as kids yet, just had a couple get married and that's
where I am at. There is so much more in this than in Sims1, its great.
Ok, off to play again lol.

Not that this has to do with congratulating each other, but in my game,
Daniel and Mary Sue Pleasant had another child, named Deborah. When Deb was
a toddler, she and Daniel were playing together with the rabbit head, and
his speech bubbles had the woohoo heart and the symbol for domestic help. I
guess he was bragging about his affair with the maid. I couldn't believe
it! This game keeps surprising me.

Sims say the darnedest things, it is fun watching their speech bubbles and
try to guess what they are saying. I once saw two grade school girls
playing chess, while talking about school books and toys and such.
Suddenly the visiting one talks about First Woohoo (there's a special
symbol for it) and I'm like "I hope that was purely theoretical" and then
they go back to discussing toys again. Of course, real kids are like this
too. You never know what they'll say next.

These Sims are a worry with their Woohoo's lol.
I like to watch their conversations too but I don't know what all the
symbols are. I don't suppose there is a website that explains their
meanings?

You can find most of them in the game. For instance, when they usually
chat, they tend to talk about their interests. In live mode, click on
"Simology" (the small white head near the bottom of the screen) then on
interests (the speech bubble). It has a list of all interests and the
symbols that belong to each type, as well as how much your Sim likes each
of them. Sims with shared interests can have long conversations. Sims can
also talk about topics in their memories, and possibly even topics they
have heard from others. (That's the only way I can explain the kids
talking about woohoo. It is very rare though.) Congratulations are always
based on the memory type icons, not the interest type. "Share interests"
is always based on the interest type, not memories.

*feels stupid* When I saw a symbol in Sims 1 that I wasn't sure of, I did
what you just told me to do. Sorry for asking that, I already knew (but
forgot or something.. lol)
