[FIXED] 'I found a ring' call from my sim's own partner

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.72.28.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? No Snowy Escape, no Star Wars, no Bowling, no Fitness, no Moschino, no Paranormal, no Tiny Living, no Toddler, no Kits, all others yes.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your sim date a townie. Wait for the townie partner to call your sim, and the "so I found a ring" card to appear.
What happens when the bug occurs? The partner who is calling me asks about their relationship as if they aren't dating the person they're calling. Eg. Sim A is my sim. Sim B is a townie that is not in my household. Sim A is dating Sim B. Sim A gets a call from Sim B. Sim B says "I found a ring in Sim A's bag! I think they're going to propose, should I say yes?" Sim A is asked to choose yes, no, or "what do you want?" Saying yes made my sim automatically engaged to them without anybody proposing.
What do you expect to see? The "so I found a ring" card to not appear for my own sim's relationship, or for the dialogue to be changed to reflect their relationship. Eg. "So, I found a ring in YOUR bag. Were you going to propose to me?"
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? Neutral/Not Sure

    In the spirit of love and not breaking relationships apart… too much, Sims will no longer get a call from their romantic partner asking for advice on what to do with a possible pending engagement proposal from that same Sim. Can you imagine? Awkward…

  • @eloquentmydear I had this today, totally didn't realise if I said "yes you should" that it would cause immediate engagement of my sims. I didn't want that yet, and it ruined the ability to set up a lovely date etc for the proposal. This is on Xbox One, therefore with no mods. However I have no idea how to share game files etc because I'm technologically useless sorry!

    I submitted a save for the "I found a ring" call bug as well as a second save that shows a different variation of this bug where NPC sims (like the Goths) seem to forget they know each other & one of them will ask if he/she should hang out with their spouse, or kid, or get to know their kid or spouse that's living in the same house.      In the first save the call about the ring in the bag will happen about 1 hour in game from the time the save was made.  In the 2nd save Mortimer Goth will call my sim to ask if he should spend more time with Bella Goth or may ask the question if he should hang out with Bella Goth.  This will happen about 45 minutes in game after loading that save at 10:38am.   

    If anyone wants to replicate this bug just create a new sim, get a girlfriend or boyfriend after cheating up high friendship and romance levels (I used 80 friendship and 90 romance), fast forward while periodically saving, then when the message comes in (it may take a few days in game though or maybe just a day or two) note down the time it showed in game.   Reload the previous save and fast forward to that time again to see if it happens again at the same time.  If it does, which almost certainly will, then that previous save you just loaded will be a nice bug example save to submit if they need any more saves on this.

    The family member one may be even quicker to replicate since the phone call probably will happen within a day in game.  Start a new save, go to the Goth house or any family house, cheat up the friendship with them all to about 80, make sure you're introduced, then go back to your lot and wait.  You'll probably get a call within a day like Mortimer asking if he should hang out with Bella or asking if he should get to know Bella.  

    I hope these saves will help fix the lack of checks that are being done for these calls, because right now it looks like it's only check is on friendship level between the player's sim and the one doing the calling and romance level when it's going to be a question about the caller's romantic interest (which likely is the player's sim that they're calling and shouldn't happen).  Added some screenshots showing the 3 messages I got from these 2 saves.

    > The wife's friend (man's fiance) also had a baby with him (she kissed him on the cheek and she was pregnant).

    AFAIK, the "kiss on cheek" greeting is coded no different than the standard waving and saying "sul sul" greeting, except that it's only done between romantic partners. It does not trigger a jealousy reaction from other nearby romantic partners.

  • I've came across to this one but I am not sure if this is a bug haha. I did not actually propose to this guy, our friendships level and romance level is nearly max. So this guy called me to get my opinion and I got engaged immediately after I responded 'Yes' to the phone call. Is this consider as proposal? XD

    I just had an instance where one of my sims was on a community lot (The Realm of Magic Headquarters) and his wife back home had called asking about a career change. They are in the same active household, and this was not the first time I've experienced this myself (experienced them in different saves, first time in this save). I've noticed it when I leave the home lot and at least one other sim in the household is on the home lot. I wish I would have taken a screenshot of it.
