For the past day or two, I've noticed that my sim would get a negative impact towards their relationship with a sim in the area. My sim doesn't even have to be interacting with them to do so. For instance, my sim was eating at the table and my other sim was cooking by the stove. Neither of them was talking to each other but yet my sim sitting, just got a random negative hit towards his relationship while he smiles so happily. The friendship panel wasn't up but I assume, the negative was an impact towards his sister since no one else within the household was around. It's super weird. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a reason at all for this to occur?

I did take my mods out. It's still doing it.

Hi @thecharsims, others have reported this as well. It sounds like a bug/glitch hence I moved it to the bug forum and added to the list. @Phantomlover1717

Hi @crinrict,Thought I would add my own observations for you to solve similar issues. I've notice this since Get Together launched, relationship plus/minus appears whenever a known sim enters your sim's neighborhood (aka spawns from the spawning point). The plus/minus won't impact the relationship bar much (I assume it equivalents to a friendly/mean greeting).I suspect this is caused by some coding changes in sims' interaction when the pack was released (or patch, I'm not sure since I pre-order it). It may have been related to the ability to greet or say goodbye to a known sim from a distance (also, it's not an active action which doesn't queue up your action queue) after I have GT.Hope this helps.

Do you have any CC (custom content) or mods? Try taking that out to test.

There's a different issue going on if you use the UI Mod. With this bug, it only happens on very rare occasions. If you see it all the time, it's probably the mod. It's been updated so please get the newest version

I recently had that same issue. What I did was changed my UI cheats extension to the latest version and all the issues I recently experienced disappeared 😊 hope that helps someone.

Similar things happened to me. As soon as I load a game, it repeatedly shows relationship hits. And if they socialize, the hits match, but it's repeatedly doing it, even if they aren't socializing. It's annoying...
And it fixes its self if i reset the sim, but as soon as they socialize, it reverts back. I have removed mods and it won't change. It happened right after the last update too...

Sounds like your mods are still active. Especially UI mods can cause this kind of behavior.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)

Tray Folder

Screenshots/Videos/Custom music

Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)

Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....

Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

I have noticed negative impact on friendship with some of my SIMS as well. I got all members of the household in one room when the negative impact happened, it did not effect any of my other SIMS in the household (There was no other sim in the household with a negative impact or a disintegrating friendship bar) So I tested it in another household. Under "mean" interactions there is an option to "trash another sim" I did on one Sim, trashing the same Sim to other SIM toons. When i got the two from other households together, they disliked one another.

This is about random signs over the sims head that have nothing to do with what's actually happening. You might be seeing a different issue.

Are you using mods ?
