Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? It was all the time when I came back to play the game after several months' absence. After the SDX and restart of my game, I didn't observe the insulting, but I cheated to set my families' relationships back to full, and they dropped about 10-20% friendship, but I figured it was coded in that Siobhan Fyres was secretly hot-headed or something. Now I added a Sim from the unplayed list to a household - Erratic/Unflirty/Noncommittal - and as soon as all the friendly interactions I had lined up finished, she began insulting her friend every time I didn't catch her on time. It happens every time I don't control her interactions. Seems to be just her, so far.
What is your current game version number? 1.93.146.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, Cats & Dogs, Discover University, Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons, just purchased Snowy Escape a few days before the SDX, in hopes of fixing it right away, City Living, Dine Out, Vampires, Paranormal, Strangerville, Vintage Glamour Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to the Vitore household, queue up some interactions with Lilith and the new girl, wait for the interactions to complete and watch the insults ensue.
What happens when the bug occurs? Insult, double minus on the friendship.
What do you expect to see? Since I have Snowy Escape and the SDX installed, I expect this behavior to stop.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No. Unless there were some things hidden in a lot that I downloaded from gallery that I'm unaware of. I sometimes go to a lot for the first time and see a message that items were removed because I don't own that pack, or something like that, the Geoffrey Landgraab's house for example, but no mods.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Mean interactions started happening after returning to the game after absence of several months. I thought it was seemingly fixed after I added Snowy Escape and the SDX but it just started occurring again today.
I haven't had time to start a new game and test it, but it's definitely happening in my game that I've had since forever. No time to upload a save file now, will try later.
Seems to me that it's only happening in played households. I'm avoiding entering certain of my households just in case that, by entering, it adjusts the family relationships down to zero. Because if you have a family with really full relationship bars, and you switch to each of the children to check on them or have them do something, when you go back to Mom and Dad, in just a few minutes, they are still romance 100 but empty friendship bar. I never get a chance to observe what they must do to cause this, and there is no negative moodlet like "feeling hurt by someone nearby" or anything to indicate what caused this. Seemed to be fixed, now happening in another house.
