Hello.
We'd like to collect affected save files (preferably unmodded) for investigation.
If you'd like to share, instructions are here:
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.82.99.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journey to Batuu, Laundry Day Stuff Pack, Spooky Stuff Pack, and the kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Make sure autonomy is on 2. Have two sims that are either dating or married to each other 3. One of the sims must have singing skill level 3 4. Both sims need to be in the same lot
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim with the singing skill level 3 will often queue the serenade interaction whenever their SO is in the same lot. They may even serenade their SO mid-conversation with other sims which may make an awkward conversation.
What do you expect to see? Less serenading. Perhaps let the sim serenade their SO when they are feeling flirty or at least once in a while (every few in-game days).
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? No
Read above.
There is one bug report that seemed to address this issue, but it only implies that female sims are often serenading towards their SO. However, I found that any sim with the singing skill level 3, regardless of gender, will obsessively serenade their SO.
The only workaround to fix this issue is to either remove the singing skill or lower the skill to level 1 or 2.
I ended up using MC Command Center's MC Tuner module to forbid Serenading because, yeah, if both Sims were on the lot at the same time and didn't have anything else queued, they were serenading each other. I blame this behavior for the bug where group conversations result in inappropriate love interests, as I had Sims living in a tiny house with their kids and their children and teens kept developing romance bars with their parents when random group conversations autonomously turned into serenade sessions.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but... How did you use MCCC Turner to disable Serenading? I would like to do the same thing.
Again, I hope it is okay for me to ask this.
I’m having the same issue. But lowering singing skill doesn’t always work. I’ve had a couple of sims still serenade at level 1. I hope this can be resolved soon it’s driving me crazy.
Community ManagerCould you provide your save file following the steps listed above to help us investigate this issue further please?
