    How often does the bug occur?  Sometimes when I attempt Use Power of Forced Friendship and/ or Transcendent Charm
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Cats & Dogs,City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Realm of Magic, Vampires, My First Pet
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? After drinking Power of Forced Friendship and/ or Transcendent Charm potions, look at the notification wall. Sometimes negative sentiments are gained instead(Ie.g my Psychiatrist said I should stay away from people like you! / that was the worst display of romance I've ever seen, I think it's better for us to remain friends. ) and relationship bars (friendship/ romance) deplete instead of reaching the max (the potions ' correct effects)
    What happens when the bug occurs? relationship bars (friendship/ romance) deplete instead of reaching the max (the potions ' correct effects)

    Hi @HayesKerr , all spells and potions have a chance of failure. Each spell and potion has a different failure effect. The more experienced your spellcaster gets, the better the chance of success. You can also get spellcaster perks that increase the chance of success.

    I see. It is brewed by my most experienced spellcaster who has mastered every perk though HAHHAHHA
    Even experts fail sometimes, I guess.
