Day of the Dead Celebrators won't consistently offer sugar skulls
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Leave a sugar skull offering and talk to the Day of the Dead Celebrator summoned.
What happens when the bug occurs? When a Day of the Dead Celebrator is summoned and befriended, they will frequently refuse to offer a sugar skull, unless Good Friends status is achieved. It is particularly prone to occurring when a Celebrator you have already befriended is summoned for a second or third time.
What do you expect to see? Sugar Skulls being offered at "Friends" level all the time, instead of only sometimes.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I'm trying to get the whole Sugar Skull collection, and have been summoning Day of the Dead Celebrators as often as possible.
I've found that somewhere around 75% of the time, perhaps a little more often, they will refuse to offer you a sugar skull even if you are friends with them, and you have to invite them to hang out and then push the relationship all the way up to good friends before they'll offer a skull.
This doesn't happen all the time, though, so presumably it's not an intended feature. I've also found that if you've summoned somebody as a Celebrator before and have an established relationship with them, they sometimes still won't offer a skull to you on the first request, even if your friendship is at a higher level than where it was when you first received a skull from them.
For example, my sim summoned a NPC named Atharv Srivastava and had him at "friends" status when she received a skull for the first time. She then invited him to a house party and built further friendship with him, to just below "Good Friends" level. He later spawned as a Day of the Dead Celebrator, and I requested a skull straight away - thinking that he'd give it with no problems. He didn't. I had to have her build their friendship up to Good Friends before he'd offer the skull.
However, the next Celebrator spawned just required a Friendly Introduction (with the Incredibly Friendly trait) and two friendly interactions to offer a skull when asked.
