Relationship Panel GAMEPLAY BUG - The Sims 1 Legacy Collection

Hi there,

Here to report another Gameplay glitch with The Sims 1 Legacy Collection.

In the UI Sim panel, my sim should be able to see all Sims they have a relationship with, whether it's romantic, friends, or just acquaintances. 

This re-release has a bug where it will only show me the top 5 friends a Sim has based on relationship points. This is a bug and not intended. This makes it GAME BREAKING as for your Sim to progress the career ladder, they will need to make friends and the UI panel will not show me all the sims relationships.

This needs to be fixed in a patch as it is game breaking for any Sim that wants to get a job.

See screenshots attached.

EDIT: I should mention I can see all my Sims personality interests and an arrow is showing in that part of the UI panel. This is SPECIFICALLY for the Relationship Panel that the "Scroll arrow" is missing.

    I agree. Totally my fear that EA just fixes it so it opens for everyone, but doesn't address glitches added in re-release as this is "Game breaking"  - ESPECIALLY for the fame career.

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately this visual glitch remains with the 4th February 2025 Patch Update. It mentions in the patch notes "The Family friends counter could sometimes not be visible"

    The bug still remains with no arrow allowing you to see the sims full friends list

    The bug still remains with no arrow allowing you to see the sims full friends list. The UI Counter is showing he knows AT LEAST 6 friends, but the relationship panel only shows "top 5" with no Arrow to navigate the list.

    Just for reference, this is The Sims Complete Collection (2005) which displays the arrows fine, and they need to update the panel to display more Sims/Pets depending on the resolution.

    This issue was not addressed at all. The family friends counter is not the relationships panel. The bug they fixed was probably related to family friends counter sometimes being black (which did happen to me) and seeing as it's on a dark background, it would barely be visible.

    So what they fixed was this, left of your family funds:

    I was also disappointed to see this wasn't fixed.  This was the first thing I checked when I opened the game after patching. Hopefully it's fixed soon.  I need 9 family friends and this had made it nearly impossible to manage.  I've had to use a notebook and just rely on people calling me on the phone to tell me relationship was low.  Please EA

    I noticed that this bug only happens in resolutions higher than 1024x768, because in this resolution (1024x768) the game shows all the sim's friends. I hope they fix this in the next patch.
