Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.105.345.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco Lifestyle, Seasons, City Living, Get Together, Paranormal, Tiny Living, Laundry Day, Bowling Night, Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Perform mischief social interaction.
What happens when the bug occurs? Mischief interactions always end up negatively despite sims having maximum mischief skill, maximum charisma skill, liking mischief, having a high relationship with each other, and both feeling playful.
What do you expect to see? Mischief interaction succeeding per the sims' mischief level, charisma level, traits, likes and dislikes, moodlets, and relationship.
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
This might be currently an unnoticed bug (not caused by the Crystal Creations patch but others suggest it occurred since the infant update) since most players don't use mischief interactions quite often or others think it always ends up negative by default. I played a mischievous sim a while ago and I knew mischief interactions could end positively, especially following their mischief level, charisma level, traits, likes and dislikes, and relationships.
To be fully sure of this bug, I created a fresh UNMODDED save (download link attached) with 2 sims in a household, both having the Goofball trait, both liking mischief, both having high mischief and charisma levels (since I've read charisma determines social interaction success rate), both having the maximum friendship level with each other, and both feeling playful. Even with all that, all mischief interactions fail. All mischief interaction under Deception fails, some Pranks rarely work, specifically the "Trick with Hand Buzzer" interaction but still end up reducing friendship.

If more saves are needed, I'll gladly create and provide more. @TheSimsDirect
So it has been nearly 6 months since I submitted an unmodded save file and decided to revisit this thread and I am glad some action is taking place since it has been a while and I can't find this issue being fixed looking through the recent laundry lists. Also, I decided to reply to this thread to remind the Sims team that this issue still persists upon testing on the latest update (version 1.109.185.1030). Hopefully, this bug is not forgotten and solved in the near future.
Also to provide more insight, old comments in this thread suggest that the issue goes away if you own the Get Famous Expansion Pack, so I tried it on a friend's account who owns the pack and the mischief interactions succeeded with no issue. Although I am not 100% sure of this factor but it can be a thing to look into if this issue is too difficult to fix. Best of luck in resolving this!
