i think some of it *is* related. because they will do it all over again when they haven't interacted/seen each other for a while. even if they live together or, for example, first see each other at a community lot and meet again two minutes later.
this hello-before-interacting thing (*and* the greetings that don't "match" the relationship) has been going on for quite a while, actually.
and i agree that the kiss/hug/wave/shake hands thing happens in-between tasks (like eating or watching TV, as you mentioned). that is, IMO, the excessive part.
so i'd say that it's a mix of a filler action with, like you said, some sort of... socialising malfunction. 😉
BTW, also related to these interactions/greetings that don't make sense: i once wrote about the kissing when Sims dislike each other (or are distant/just friends/have an empty romance bar/etc.), but i was told it belonged in feedback.
I'm merging this cause I think while it might be a bit different, it's something that needs to be looked into as a whole.
Don't think we need two threads at this point.
Should one issue get fixed and the other is still an issue, I will split these again.
My family Sims always (and only) hug when they are sitting together at the table, eat and I give one of them the command to talk to another. In this case both will stand up with their plates in the hand, hug and (sometimes) sit down again. I think this feature should be reduced.

It wasn't in the patch notes but a fix was made for this issue with the November 13 Patch. They should socialize more now instead of just excessively hugging over and over. It looks much better to me personally, compared to when I saw the bug originally occurring last June. That being said, if you're on a lot with a limited number of items available for Sims to interact with, and all your Sims are Good Friends, then yeah they're gonna hug, which is by design.
Anyway, does it seem better for everyone else? Please let me know if this still seems like a problem for you and we can investigate (your save file would be much appreciated!)
@unseenlarks could you test this in your game ?
