Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?

I encountered a bug during group outings in the game involving sims who are romantically involved with sim A. The issue arises when sims B, C, D, and E autonomously attempt to perform romantic interactions with sim A during a group outing. Instead of the relationship impact being correctly assigned to sim A, it is randomly given to another sim within the group. Additionally, there is a strange animation glitch where the arm of the initiating sim stretches to point to the random sim in the group who receives the relationship gain.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Assemble a group consisting of sims A, B, C, D, and E.

2. Ensure that all sims are romantically involved with sim A, and not with any other sim in the group.

3. Initiate a group outing or gathering.

4. Allow sims B, C, D, and E to autonomously attempt romantic interactions with sim A.

Expected Behavior:

The relationship impact from romantic interactions with sim A should be correctly assigned to sim A, as they are the intended target of the interactions. There should be no animation glitch where a sim's arm stretches to point to another sim in the group.

Observed Behavior:

Instead of the relationship impact being assigned to sim A, it is randomly given to another sim within the group. Additionally, there is a noticeable animation glitch where the initiating sim's arm stretches unnaturally to point to the random sim who receives the relationship gain. This bug results in unintended relationship developments between sims within the group and disrupts the gameplay experience.

What happens when the bug occurs?

During a group outing with sims B,C,D and E, the relationship impact from autonomous romantic interactions with sim A should be correctly assigned to sim A, as they are the intended target of the interactions. Instead of the relationship impact being assigned to sim A, it is randomly given to another sim within the group. Additionally, there is a noticeable animation glitch where the initiating sim's arm stretches unnaturally to point to the random sim who receives the relationship gain.

What do you expect to see?

The relationship impact from romantic interactions with sim A should be correctly assigned to sim A, as they are the intended target of the interactions. There should also be no animation glitch where a sim's arm stretches to point to another sim in the group while interacting with sim A
