Hi, is there any news on this issue?

Sorry for the impatience, but It's killing my game.
All I spend time on is reintroducing the sims that I want to know each other. I can never have a large family gathering, or a club that just pick up, with all the members as they keep forgetting each other.

Would it be possible to have a button on all the known sims relations, that you could "switch on" on the sims you don't want your sim to lose knowledge of, no matter how high or low their relationsship is?
(Similar to the heart in the un/played households)

This way you could have a solid group that's fixed your sim won't forget, and still room for casual relations coming and going.

Like if you play a doctor and have to introduce your sim to new patients daily, you would have to have at least a few brackets of "free" relationships, that you can loose, instead of loosing the once that matters to your gameplay. I dont want those patients to take over club friends, old friends and distant family members.
But of course it happens to anyone, no matter what their profession is. Even "classmates" keep disappearing...

Thank you for looking in to this!

    Unfortunately I don't have any news to share on this.  The team is still looking into it.

    What is worrisome is that I have now noticed this in my game, which should be impossible since I use MCCC to disable relationship culling! There seems to be no pattern to discern why some of them disappear, but since it's happening even in a game that's rigged to circumvent the 35-max-relationship culling, perhaps that is an indication that something else broke and is causing it.

    Okay, thanks for the reply. Im glad they are still working on it. Hopefully a solution will come soon.

    @DMDragonCT
    I don't think it's related to culling, as I will come back to a sim and it will have fare less than 35 relationships left. Maybe half the number, most of them new (irrelevant) sims not living in my world.

    It's in every aspect of the game. Definitely causing a lot of trouble. You even see it with other sims, like with the interaction; "Ask about...X" where they pretty much always comes up with the answer; "Sorry I haven't met X yet"
    - Even if you where playing the asked sim, a few (sim) days prior, and working on a romantic/friendly relationship between the asked sim and X.

    This continues to be a problem.  Every time I switch households, I find my sims have forgotten their cousins, their old playmates, sometimes even their own spouses.  Not only does it 'ruin mah immersion,' it wastes my time (over and over and over!), destroys my fun, and adds to my physical pain with unnecessary repetitive keystrokes as I once again reintroduce my sims to each other, pause the game, mouse through long dialog trees to hit 'get to know' once, then again through the tree to hit 'get to know' again, then 'ask career', then the long dialog tree to 'get to know' for the third time.  And then the other bug where your queued actions all disappear when some npc human or pet interrupts hits me and I have to wait for the dialog options to return and then try to do that all again.

    Please.  Just give us a CHEAT to get all possible info on another sim.  I know you can do it; it's basically the vampire perk or the 'observant' reward (which only works if you're playing the sim and go through a formal introduction, which does not account for all relationships.)

    Please.  You're obviously not going to fix the bug; clearly it's too tricky or not worth the operational cost to you.  So give us the cheat to reduce our suffering.

    It's only fair.  Don't make me keep having to do this tedious, painful chore over and over and over and over ad infinitum.

    (eta:  I see I posted this at the exact wrong time, while Crin's away and just before a major game patch.  Pity!  Giving us a quick cheat that'd repair the damage done by this bug would really help.)
