Please use this thread going forward: Sims forget already existing relationships | EA Forums - 11894834
I've just found this issue in my game. It's actually the first time I notice it. I was planning to marry those two sims, and now, I will have to start over.
Now for the questions:
- They are completely removed from the friendship panel.
- Less than one sim day passed when I found the issue.
- They were friends, as long as I remember.
- I use no mods at all.
I mainly play with one family. However, I usually take one sim night for playing with the other families, when I make 1 or up to 4 families pregnant, and then go back to the main family. I usually go back around 7 am, sim time. However, this time I got issues with a family (Tried to make a house on a hill, had to make some improvements so that the sims could walk home), and had to go back at around 8:30 am. I noticed this around 10 am, when I tried to call the other sim to hang out, and was just not there. Since I was told about the family tree bug, I've been backing up my game in a second save, however, when I checked the backup, this issue was also present there.
Both sims were in saved households (no townies or unfavorited sims involved).
If it turns useful, I could send the saves.
Talk to you later!
@SouthernPuchuuSame. I play rotationally and will be in another household for 1-3 sims days. When I go back, they've lost like half of their relationships.
Also, anyone with romantic relationships usually goes from very satisfied to dissatisfied or very dissatisfied (even with a wholesome or steamy dynamic). Don't know if these are related, but it's making my style of gameplay very annoying - I basically have to spend that time repairing and re-establishing relationships instead of continuing their storyline.

@jsophiakGuys, this is a limitation of the game. Sims gradually forget relationships. I have removed this limitation with a mod, maybe that's why my save is now overloaded and broken and I can't add any new lots.
Not at this rate. I've been playing Sims 4 since it came out; relationships (particularly STRONG relationships) don't cull that quickly. As I said: less than 3 sim days and pretty much every relationship aside from their household and a handful of others (again, not even the strong relationships, the sims they barely know) is gone. Just gone. I've seen it with a few content creators that also play rotationally.
Culling isn't the issue. Its the RATE at which the culling occurs and the specific relationships that it chooses do not match up with the intended culling (where it's supposed to cull weakest relationships first).
Community ManagerHello all,
If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?
If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420
