Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? just play the game with any Sim, have them interact with any other Sim and then allow them to chat autonomously.
What happens when the bug occurs? every interaction between my Sim and another Sim results in my Sim or the other Sim autonomously doing mean interactions like “Insult” and “Yell At” for no reason. this even occurs with Sims they have a full friendship bar with and when there are no traits that spark mean interactions.
What do you expect to see? Sims should not autonomously perform mean interactions with Sims they have a positive relationship with.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. the latest patch, on 9/13/ 2022 Mac: 1.91.205.1220
this bug has made the game nearly unplayable since it takes so much time to build relationships back up (a single Mean interaction causes a full relationship bar to go down by more than half). even after apologizing, they continue to do Mean interactions for no reason.
