Guys, I don't think this is a bug. I think it's just a poor feature. I found a pattern when reading through all the replies here and decided to test it in my game.
Your relationships are decaying in the household if someone in the apartment is being loud and ignores the door when a neighbor comes banging on it. If you answer the door and listen to the neighbor's complaint the relationships in the household do not drop.
I think because if you're being loud and don't answer the door to an angry neighbor everyone gets mad and there's a hit in the relationships. I do believe it's too large of a drop. Dropping a third of the way each time is a pain, especially when you have more than two sims in the household. I feel like a negative moodlet is more appropriate. An embarrassed moodlet would be perfect. If someone I lived with was being loud and didn't answer the door to an angry neighbor I would be embarrassed. Or maybe I would be mad at the person I lived with, so even an angry moodlet would be good. But a drop in relationship seems over the top, especially a drop that big.
If this isn't happening the same for you as it is for me feel free to say so, but definitely test this for yourself first to see if this is a consistent pattern among everyone's games.
Yes! This is exactly what happened between my Sims! I always have my one guy answer the neighbors complaint because he's Mischievous and kinda mean, but my chick is always the one singing, or practicing music pretty late. (there should be a "Quiet Hours" notification). And they despise each other right now with very little influence from me, intentionally. Though, the relationship between the mischievous guy and my other sim (his best friend) also goes down too and he doesn't contribute to the noise. That really sucks, I thought it was from just not really talking to each other. But next thing you know one night when they're all sleep I get a notification saying "my Sims now despise each other". and I'm like WHAT??
I stopped playing cause i didn't want to continue damage their relationships until they fixed, what I thought was a bug...😕☹️
