Relationship bar goes down then freezes

The last couple weeks I've noticed that when my 2nd gen sim moves out and asks his/her partner to move in, after a bit the relationship bar goes down and freezes where it is. The bar going down in it...

    @Hls2323  I've played with evil sims on occasion and haven't seen this issue at all.  There's a relationship dip from the Emperor of Evil aura, sometimes, but it's a one-time hit, on part with a negative social interaction, not an inability to gain relationships past a certain level.

    If you do want to test this theory anyway, you could remove the Evil trait from the sim without mods.  Open the cheats console (ctrl-shift-C) and enter testingcheatsenabled true .  Then shift-click the sim and select "Modify in Create a Sim."  (Please note that this doesn't work on pregnant sims.)  Replace Evil with something else, then go to Edit Town and evict the sims from their house and put them back.  This will remove promised wishes and opportunities, but that doesn't matter for the purposes of this test.

    I still think the Long Distance Friend LTR might be the culprit, if the sim is being added to new saves with it still applied.  But there's no way to remove it from an existing sim without mods.  If you don't want to use mods, I'd be willing to look at your save or your sims.  Let me know if you're interested in uploading either the save or the Library copy of the sims you place in new saves.

@puzzlezaddict Apologies, I'll clear that up...By the the '3 separate saves each in a different world', basically I deleted that save file/world, and start a new one 3 times.

Something else I'm wondering as to why is happening is that each time, I chose this sim to be evil and found a partner to be evil too (wanted to try the criminal career), I'm still not too sure, .but I tested this by getting her to have a child, and I've noticed that she can't gain anything with the kid. Again, not sure but I know that evil sims take a larger reputation dip than most (just confused since both have this trait)

    @puzzlezaddict thank you! What I ended up doing was uninstalling and reinstalling the game, because I went through files on my desktop for the game and noticed that the the previous saves were still there, and there might've been an error in overiding (if that's not the case, it's error nontheless). I ended up installing a couple of the mods you recommended too, so far so good. I know it's a bit of an intense ish reaction, but hey if it works it works.

    I am having an issue with making my game go fullscreen on my pc, but I'll make a seperate post since that's kind of a minor issue.

    Thank you for the help!!
