    Hello.

    My understanding is that this is by design.  Saving to library resets relationship levels (although it does save family relationships: father, mother, brother, daughter, etc.).  It's similar to how relationship levels are not maintained (they gradually decay in this case) when Sims exist in world but are not actively played for a while.

The couples I've tried usually end up losing 50% of their friendship but the romance bar usually seems intact. Correct me if I'm wrong, most non-familial relationships start out as acquaintances with about 5-10% of friendship. I think that's the default. With romantic relationships, when cheating romance, they have to have at least 50% friendship in order to be able to cheat their romance past 50%. ETA: Another thing I've noticed (which I think is by design), is in order to cheat the romance bar to the red, you have to first have it in the pink. For example, if you take two random sims and make them divorced, you first have to have their romance in the pink before you can send it into the red. Once again, I think that's by design because it's always been that way.

You know. I hardly ever pay attention to that kind of stuff.

Can you downlaod my Vatore family with the twins from the gallery ? They're not full at friendship but its' more than 50% for me and the relationship to the twins also is pretty high.

Is that different for you ?

    New save with your Vatore household. This one was through CAS. Here's what I have for Vera's relationships:

     

    This pic (below), is straight from the Gallery into the new Save file:

    I need to call it a night and re-test tomorrow.

    I think I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but that's probably a lost in translation thing on top of being tired.

    I'm going to re-read everything tomorrow and re-try. I think I just tested different stuff than you did.

    (I've forwarded this a while ago so don't worry. My tests have nothing to do with how QA opperates)

    Anways, good night

    Sorry, got all caught up in RL today. Didn't get a chance to do further testing.

    Maybe someone else also sees this ? 

    I do believe there's an issue I just didn't get to test all the cases.

    I completely understand, life can be a bit too much sometimes. I just read the part of your last reply about forwarding it to QA, and maybe they'll see it and test it. After testing your household, I don't think it's a CAS issue. I think it has something to do with the Library or Gallery. I may do one more test myself to see if there's anything new. 

    Edit: I checked to see if I put a household in the world by using CAS, and there was no change. 

    Thanks for your help, @crinrict 🙂

    Had a busy week and there's a lot of other stuff piling up.

    I'm adding this as needs input to see if others can give some more input what's happening for them.

    O.K. that works for me. I asked on the official forums before posting here, and most of the people who replied seemed to think it was by design. That makes me think it's not as widespread as other bugs.
    Thanks!
