Sims no longer generate from the Wishing Well romance wish, from Romantic Garden Stuff.
Looking into the tuning, it would appear there are 16 filters for Wishing Well Romance sims- 8 for Positive, 8 for Negative, for male/female of ages T/YA/A/E. However, none of these filters reference any Lovestruck tuning or tuning for romantic relationship preferences. My guess is that without this information the game isn't sure what to do to generate a new sim, and so nothing happens. In my personal testing I tried editing this to add these things (Matchmaking Gender Preference considering woohoo preferences, and Gender Preference) to the filters (while allowing them to be skipped if necessary, setting the filter score to 0 and allowing the game not to force things) and it still did not work.&nbsp;The issue happens with all 4 age groups, teen-elder.
I'm assuming the game is missing critical information on the kind of sim to generate, or pick from existing sims, and simply gives up.

I do not know when this issue started, so I can't be sure it's the result of any romance updates or Lovestruck, but it makes sense.

Other wishes that generate sims (such as for a child) work without issue.

The LastException attached confirms it's preferences related!

I can also confirm the total sim count in the save is not adjusted when these wishes happen nor are there new sims, hidden or otherwise, being generated (I just did multiple tests on both positive and negative results). So no generation is occurring at all.

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? newest oneWhat expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all except journey to batuu and the only kits I have are storybook nursery, desert lux and blooming roomsSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim make a wish on the wishing well and "wait" for it to be "granted".What happens when the bug occurs? The light on the well will flash. ie black, red, white, etc. But that's it nothing else happens; for example my sim wished for romance and got the black cloud and then nothing.What do you expect to see? I expect when I use the wishing well that when a wish is grant, for good or ill to actually work; so when my sims wished for romance and the black cloud happened it should have conjured a ghost to join the family with a romance bar for my sim.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? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. The patch with the ghost update.‌The odd thing is, the wishing well works for donation, and for wishes that don't require anything so the ones that'll give you the flirty phrase or the money phrase those work, but that's it.

@freakyteen21 I merged your post with the romance thread.

There's also one for children death here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/RGSP-Wishing-Well-Ghost-child-turned-back-to-human-No-more-ghost/m-p/14192159#M300891

So basically it's all wishes that require a specific mood ? is that what you mean ?

@crinrict&nbsp;It seems to be any wishes that require a physical thing, so if you wish for a child and the smoke is black, you should get a ghost child; if it's white you should have a child added to household; same with the wishing for romance; white get a new partner, black get a ghost partner, etc.

@gooochyeee The option for the L&amp;D well are different.I haven't tried them all but they seem to work fine.

I'm having the same error. I originally thought it had something to do with Lovestruck, but when I tried disabling that pack I still had the last exception and my sim A-posed.
