[ARCHIVED] (Group) Conversation leads to inappropriate love interest

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.68.154.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all DLC except Eco, Knitting, Star Wars
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure. Parent was in a flirty mood and after an autonomous conversation suddenly sees daughter as romantic interest. I've not seen any romantic socials in the pie menu when the two talk to each other.
What happens when the bug occurs? Romantic relationship bar (with a few pixels filled) appears on the relationship status for both sims - parent towards child / child towards parent. See attached image
What do you expect to see? I expects parents and their children to not fall in love with each other.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I've never seen this happen before. It MAY be a display glitch with the new profile thingie, but since it doesn't give me any romantic interactions I can't test how broken it is.

Can still alter their relationship with cheat codes, but that's not really the point.

    I kinda wish we had more control over group conversations. Sometimes I wish we didn't have group conversations lol

    @Bearpal64 Agreed. The fact that there's no individual sim context within group conversations has long been an annoyance in this game, and as with the situations in this thread...sometimes worse than an annoyance 😬

    Sims having inappropriate romantic bars. I had one adult sibling set, when he flirted with someone it also gained a bar with his sister. Now I have an an uncle and a child that have an empty romance bar, it says they're love birds and the child was not around him when he was flirting with anyone.

    The same thing happens in my game. A teen sim joined her grandparents' romantic conversation and romance options appeared for the teen and the elder grandpa.
    I couldn't cancel it even by cheating.
    I hate it with passion.

  • I think I may have also experienced something similar, but it happened so quickly that I wasn't too sure.

    Basically, I made a male adult and a female adult and gave them a teenage daughter, but I made the romantic relationship between the two adults "Strained" and the family dynamic "Difficult", I also made the family dynamic between the father and daughter "Difficult". Immediately upon spawning the family, the father was in a flirty mood and had some sort of romantic action happening, but while the action was displayed as a 'group conversation' between both the mother and the daughter, he was completely facing the daughter when it happened and the action resulted in a Friendship relationship decrease between the two, with the mother seeming not to care too much. Not sure what happened there.

    Not sure if attaching my save file would be much help as this happened quite some time ago (and hasn't happened since), but thought I'd share anyway since this seems to still be an issue for some.
