Please use this thread going forward: Romantic Relationships decay/become negative fast with no interaction | EA Forums - 4947168
There is a bug that is making romantic relationships decay extremely fast , sometimes it won’t allow the love meter to even rise no matter how many love interactions you do. Sometimes it goes completely down then turns red . It happens when they are on the same lot together PLEASE FIX. Until then it makes me not want to play . Super annoying
Yes, I am having this same problem too! I even turned off relationship decay in MCCC and it still went down in a matter of seconds before my eyes. So damn frustrating for storytelling purposes!!
The only workaround I've found when this bug happens is to add the 'beloved' trait to both of them using cheats and then to cheat their romance bar back up. Before I thought of this I had spend lots of time in game carefully nurturing their relationship back up from full red romance back to neutral then half pink and then it would just drain back to full red without even a single negative interaction.
And when I say drain back I mean really really fast. I would queue up interactions to increase their romance and they'd have just go the woohoo interaction back but before I could use it they had already lost all the romance they had gained back.
Having this issue as well. I only noticed it this last week or so playing. My sims have a close relationship, their married, soulmates and have a steamy relationship as well and I can use mccc to cheat their relationship in in less than on sim work day they are at -292 from 100 at the beginning of the day. At this point I am close to disabling lovestruck if that is the issue. One of my households this was happening to, yes their had a strained and difficult relationship and in one sitting of putting a puzzle together they started yelling at each other then the wife divorced him. All in the span of 3 sim hours or so. And yes I can keep using mccc to cheat the relationship but the negative moodlets and their actions make it a minute point.
