Re: [BY DESIGN] Household Members Aren't Maintaining Friendships (from library)

I wonder if it has something to do with CAS. Every household has to be saved through CAS in order to play them in other saves, so maybe it's a bug with that? I made a template save file with only my Sims and builds, so to keep time from passing in it but to allow the relationships, skills, and careers to be what I want, I would cheat those things in another save file I have for builds. So after I cheated all of the relationships, skills, and careers, I would save the established household to my Library through CAS. Then I would move them into the template save. I may start all over with the file and see if it's just corrupted or something. 

I tried the Gallery today. I downloaded a random roommates household, cheated the friendships, and saved the household to my Library. Then I put that household in the world, and it still happened. Every time, I've gone through CAS. When I downloaded that household their friendships were at the default acquaintance level. This was all in a new save, as well. Also, I downloaded them from the Gallery into CAS because (as you know) when you start a new save, it takes you straight to CAS. 

The premade family I uploaded to my gallery wasn't reset completly but maybe they have some base-friendship ? It was def. not the same as when I uploaded them.

The family I tried had everything intact (just downloaded from my gallery)

Tried two of my room mates who had no relationship but I coulnd't say what they had when I uploaded them (they are from the game)

Tried brother and sister, they seem at 50% as you say.

So it looks like the ones I downloaded and tested were probably all couples (they had both bars intact though) ? I can't remember it was all a bit much the past two weeks.

Tagging as needs input to get more voices for this.

The couples I've tried usually end up losing 50% of their friendship but the romance bar usually seems intact. Correct me if I'm wrong, most non-familial relationships start out as acquaintances with about 5-10% of friendship. I think that's the default. With romantic relationships, when cheating romance, they have to have at least 50% friendship in order to be able to cheat their romance past 50%. ETA: Another thing I've noticed (which I think is by design), is in order to cheat the romance bar to the red, you have to first have it in the pink. For example, if you take two random sims and make them divorced, you first have to have their romance in the pink before you can send it into the red. Once again, I think that's by design because it's always been that way. 

New save with your Vatore household. This one was through CAS. Here's what I have for Vera's relationships:

This pic (below), is straight from the Gallery into the new Save file:

I need to call it a night and re-test tomorrow.

I think I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but that's probably a lost in translation thing on top of being tired.

I'm going to re-read everything tomorrow and re-try. I think I just tested different stuff than you did.

(I've forwarded this a while ago so don't worry. My tests have nothing to do with how QA opperates)

Anways, good night

Sorry, got all caught up in RL today. Didn't get a chance to do further testing.

Maybe someone else also sees this ? 

I do believe there's an issue I just didn't get to test all the cases.

I completely understand, life can be a bit too much sometimes. I just read the part of your last reply about forwarding it to QA, and maybe they'll see it and test it. After testing your household, I don't think it's a CAS issue. I think it has something to do with the Library or Gallery. I may do one more test myself to see if there's anything new. 

Edit: I checked to see if I put a household in the world by using CAS, and there was no change. 

Thanks for your help, @crinrict 🙂

Had a busy week and there's a lot of other stuff piling up.

I'm adding this as needs input to see if others can give some more input what's happening for them.
