I've had some opportunity or something pop up a few times in my game saying something about three is a crowd for romance and i about a Group. I always press the X cause i have no idea what it does.Can anyone answer this for me?

There's a few game glitches like this that display such messages when they really pertain to other random sims around town. In addition to the one this thread was about, I keep getting "The Experiment was a success (or failure)," "Operation Failed because one of the sims is a teenager," I think I even saw "No one came to your party!" once (what party? where? huh?) and other goofy stuff that couldn't possibly pertain to any of the sims I am playing. The group/romance one is a little different because it involves an intervention by way of choosing one of the options to dismiss, so it does feel like it appears more than some of the others. I usually just answer randomly, unless it's clear that it really is pertaining to my active sims. :)

It's an innocent glitch by the way, it has no effect on your game.

I've been playing this game since it came out and I've never gotten this before until today! My sim went to college and starting making lots of friends. Suddenly, I just started getting this message. Later, my sim was flirting with a sim that had a girlfriend, so I wondered if it had anything to do with breaking up a couple? I don't recall her flirting when it first came up, but I guess she may have been.I'm glad to know this is a base game glitch though. I was afraid it was one of my NRAAS mods, like Story Progression. Thanks!

I've no idea but I get it all the time too, driving me bonkers.

My sims are never in a group when this comes up. All mine were in bed sleeping this most recent one. It's always just when the family is at home.

Thank you!
Glitch i guess?

its a glitch, bc it happens to me too. now that you mention it it does always seem to happen when my sims are all asleep. ive tried Xing it out but it just pops back up, so i have to OK it to break up the group. thank you for making this thread bc i have an SP mod and just assumed it was another household i was keeping tabs on.

I don't have any mods, so its a basic game glitch. I'm glad im not the only one this happens to haha

yeh, im happy you made this thread bc now i know its just the game, instead of my mod. but that also means its EA's bug to fix, which makes me sad. bc as i said its EA's bug to fix. EA's bug to fix. haha its almost an oxymoron.
but thank you for helping me figure it out

i believe it has to do with others around town. not absolutely sure about this. When i get that pop up my sims are either sleeping or doing something around the house, so i know its not them. and of course it could be some sort of glitch.

I don't know, just another glitch I guess. It's never happened to me while they were sleeping or something. Although sometimes it does happen when, say, the parents take the kids to the park, and the parents aren't even flirting with each other but for some reason the game thinks they are and asks to break up the group and make it a date between the two. -.-
