As a child, exchange a friendship bracelet with another child Sim.What happens when the bug occurs? The bracelet becomes permanently stuck on the Sim; it never automatically falls off and remains on them for their entire lives, even if their original bracelet is demanded back or if their inventory is cleared. It cannot be removed in CAS.What do you expect to see? The friendship bracelet should either automatically fall off at some point or should be removed after demanding for the bracelet back.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No All of the mods I play with are up-to-date. I've seen one other post about this issue, but it hasn't been replied to in over a month and nobody seems to have found a fix for it yet. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title

I have the same problem ☹️ My teen is having this bracelet since forever already, and it sticks on her wrist without an option to remove. The bracelet was broken in her inventory, and i was able to remove it there, but on the wrist it kept staying. I'm also playing with aging off.My work-around to get rid of it: I used MCCC, clicked on my Sim with the stuck bracelet, MC CAS - Manage Traits - Remove trait - then search for the one that has bracelet in the name, and remove that one. Once i confirmed the bracelet was finally gone. I feel like it must have something to do with aging off, or potentially with the fact that I play rotationally?

@plxnisphere That other thread is related to cc so do you have this issue without mods/cc installed ? The bug forum is for vanilla game issues only. It's possible that they keep being stick when you remove your cc so it needs to be tested of happening without cc.

When are they supposed to wear out? My twins exchanged friendship bracelets soon after becoming children and are still wearing them as teens... starting to feel a bit long but not out of the realm of possibility. No mods in this save.

Hello All, If anyone of you are still encountering this (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions here: http://x.ea.com/74420 Thanks!

I run into a similar issue where one of my sims had the friendship bracelet stuck in his inventory and wouldn't go away. The only silver lining is that it didn't actually show up on the sim. Anyway, I got rid of it using the recycler from eco-lifestyle. I don't know if it'll work with sims that have it stuck to their wrist because mine didn't, but it's worth a shot if you have the pack and run into this issue of it never going away

I removed my entire Mods folder and deleted all the cache files. I reloaded my CC family and the bracelet was still stuck to my Sim (still despite her inventory not having a bracelet in it). In the same save file, I made a brand new CC-free household and had a child with a friendship bracelet repeatedly age up. The bracelet never fell off autonomously, and the option to destroy the bracelet never appeared in her inventory.
One thing that I think is noteworthy is that for the CC-free Sim, the bracelet was visually removed after she immediately aged up into a young adult and only re-appeared after I entered and exited CAS.

@TheSimsDirect Do you need saves started after the most recent updates? My twins have reached young adult and I believe still have their friendship bracelets on. But I started this save back in April.

I have an issue 99% similar to this but slightly different. If my Sim demands the friendship bracelet back from the person they gave it to, both bracelets get removed from both Sims as I imagine is supposed to happen. However, if I don't take the bracelet back, the bracelet never falls off on its own. I have aging off in my save and my teen Sim has had this friendship bracelet for probably the equivalent of an entire lifespan if I were playing on Normal lifespan. I have a friend who also plays with aging off and had two teens with friendship bracelets but she aged them into young adults and they still have their friendship bracelets from when they were teens.

Similar problem. Bracelets become broken, removed, but game thinks bracelets are still worn; shown on model, and cannot be demanded back, though the option for it is there. Option to give new bracelets is greyed out. Playing on PS4, so no mods or cc.

I'm also having this problem, but I play with aging off. Maybe that is the cause?
