[FIXED] [ECO] Random Romance Interactions w/wo active NAP

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to a community lot with your household, and wait for Sims around the lot to start interacting with each other.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims will autonomously do romantic socials with another random Sim regardless of relationship status. Townies will also come up to my sim and use blow a kiss or caress cheek for example, and my sim will accept it but no romantic points are awarded. Sims basically all making out with each other in public.
What do you expect to see? Sims being respectful and not using romantic socials on everyone on the lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This only started happening after installing the June 3 patch, the hot-fix, and then Eco Lifestyle.

‌

I will add that I only went to other lots in Evergreen Harbour before I stopped playing for the night. I repaired my game and am about to try some more gameplay after repairing everything.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

I will mark this as fixed as I believe all NAP problems are solved now and only occur when the NAP is actually active.

Please create a new thread if you still have issues with this

Perhaps the "Free Love" neighborhood action plan is active?

@Meegatron16I have had this happen too, and I disabled the 'allow NPCs to vote' (in the game settings), just so that there was no disrespectful stuff in my game. I am also seeing (once very happy/ faithful/ loving) couples now cheating, and a lot of sad sims. Really not impressed with this.

@Meegatron16 I had the same issue today and I don't even have Eco Lifestyle yet. A friend of my female Sim came to my lot, I looked away for a second and caught her flirting with the husband. They weren't even in a flirty mood.

@crinrict It was a family of 4 Sims, the parents and their kids. The mother got a call from her female friend asking if she could hang out, I said yes then she just let herself in without being invited in, I looked away for a second just to catch her flirting with the husband.

@ashleena123 Does it happen often in your game ?

@crinrict It was the first time ever it happened without Sims being flirty. One was confident and the other was energized. I suspect it might be a bug that came with the new update.

@ashleena123 Would be good to know if you're the only one without Eco and what it's related to.

@crinrict I kinda hope I'm not the only one, haha!
I don't use any mods or cc by the way.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Talk to the Harris household in Eco Lifestyle.
What happens when the bug occurs? Normal conversations with Sims from Harris household without any romantic interactions end with Sims romantically kissing each other before leaving.
What do you expect to see? Sims who are not romantically involved, not kissing each other goodbye.

Please describe the patch or change you made. Updated to most recent patch 6th June and downloaded Eco Lifestyle.

‌

Just downloaded the new EcoLifestyle pack yesterday.

My Sim visited the Harris household and was talking to some of the household members. She took it upon herself to go do something else and just before leaving my Sim and Faye kissed goodbye. The proper romantic partner kiss. They'd had no romantic social interactions at all. In fact this kiss didn't even show up as a romantic interaction.

On returning to the house a few moments later the MIL Francine comes out of the house and her and Faye (her daughter in law) have a romantic kiss too. This confused me as I know they live in the same house but I thought Faye was married to Francine's son, which she is. Faye blows my Sim a kiss and now the romantic interaction comes up. Faye goes inside and my Sim is left talking to Francine. When my Sim leaves Francine gives my Sim a romantic kiss as well. After there have been no romantic interactions between them.

Is this something to do with this family in particular, part of the gameplay perhaps? Or is this a bug? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

It seemed really odd, because even if this is something unique to this family, and they're really overly friendly, I wouldn't expect my Sim to just kiss all of them romantically like that with no previous romantic interactions.
