This bug appear after the latest June'20 patch and Eco Lifestyle installation This is another bug which I found after the latest patch and installation of Eco Lifestyle. Random negative moodlet appears between two Sims that are near to each other. If both Sims are stranger to one another, then red relationship bar will occur (negative relationship) Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

I have the same - negative relationship is randomly occurring for friendly interactions including Ask About Day, Discuss Interests, Tell Joke, & it happened for Get to Know, which then triggered "Apologise" to show as an option in her conversation menu. Both as icons above the sims heads & in their relationship bar. Sometimes the interactions work as intended, sometimes they don't.First noticed it with a child sim talking to a child she invited over after school - neither of them had conflicting traits like good/evil (my sim was creative & the visitor was a geek). The visiting child grew angry & their relationship bar moved into red, despite being their relationship being green (but not quite friends) when invited over. This was post patch, pre EP.Also, I'm getting relationship & reputation green/red icons for just clicking a nearby sim, not just when they're interacting - but i think that was happening pre-patch too.

Hi @crinrict ,Sorry for the confusion. It may not be called moodlet but rather relationship + or - indicated by green and red colored icon respectively.As an example, after friendly social interaction, you will see + green relationship icon on 2 Sims' heads. If you choose mean interaction, there will be - red relationship icon on 2 Sims' headIn this case, negative (-) relationship red icon appears on both of the Sims' heads even though there is no social interaction between them. This is shown as in the snapshot.This appears very randomly and occur once awhile.Hope this explanation helps.

Things are going fairly smoothly since the last patch. However, I have noticed that my Sims Randomly get the red icons with the minus sign above their heads, even when they haven't been fighting at all. I think this might be a residual effect of the bad update.

So, It started after my sim started talking with her infant and the infant randomly didn't like whatever the sim told them. After that they got a couple positive relationship points. When My sim were sleep next to her partner the positive and negative relationship simbols started to show up, even though both were asleepWhat happens when the bug occurs? nothin, just the annoying symbolsWhat do you expect to see? relationships points (negative or positive) randomly appearing when sims aren't interactingHave 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? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. After Growing together patchSo, I was playing the game and sundenlly my sim was to sleep next to her partner and both asleep positive and negative relationships started to pop up.I was very confused because they don't have social bunny active anymore nor the npc relationship option is active on my game.I took away all my mods folder and its still going on.

The same thing has been happening in my game, but in my case it's been going on ever since Social Bunny was introduced with High School Years. Even adults and elders who have Social Bunny deactivated get random negative friendship symbols popping up over their heads, even if they're by themselves and there are no other sims nearby. When I open my sim's relationship panel, there is no indication that they've suffered any friendship decay. And most of my sims have completed the Friend of the World aspiration, so they have the beloved trait which prevents their relationships from decaying.

@Hamsysincy What's the name of that moodlet ? Your screenshot just shows pictures of several.

If it's multiple moodlets, could you please specify them.

This is shown as in the snapshot.

@Hamsysincy Ah, I remember that vaguely being an issue years back.

I'll tag as needs input to see if others see those again

Are they always negative ?

Also: Moodlets are the squares at the right bottom that influence the emotions. They are also called buffs

EDIT: Does it actually influence the relationship or is it just the icons showing ?

@crinrict Many thanks for the response.
I know a bug which causes random pink (love) relationships between unplayed Sims years ago but it was already been fixed.
To your inquiry "Are they always negative ?" - Yes, the random relationship icon always appear as negative. Technically, it should only appear if i choose a mean or mischief interaction with another Sim and it should not be a random event which occurs without any interaction.
Hope this helps to explain the situation.

@Hamsysincy Does it actually affect the relationship or is it just the icon ?

Hi @crinrict
Yes it does.
I happen to have 2 other Sims coming over visiting my Sim in the household. The random negative relationship icons appear between them and causes their relationships to turn red.
(Good relationship shows green meter and bad relationship shows red meter on the top middle on the screen)

@dragancaor finally someone else is having the same problem. It would be an annoying bug if you are particular on the relationship health between sims.
