@AnammagaLet me put your mind at rest this is definitely an official forum. We're now on an official bug report thread that is monitored. Here, they collect as much info as possible on our different systems and our owned content so they can replicate that and find solutions and causes.
I've tested all the problems you mentioned (just as a fellow player) and I got the same results as you on Xbox series X. I can't find anything to tone it down, other than having couples socialise apart. If they socialise together they flirt.
So now we've given as much info as we can, we see if we get a mention on a Laundry List of upcoming fixes. When that's released it will be at the top of the list on Sims 4/Bug Reports. It's an indicator of future game patches/updates.
It's going to be a tricky one to fix though so if it's possible it may be some time. Sometimes players can figure out a workaround while we wait but nothing seems to be helping in this case unfortunately. Just keeping them apart, I wish there was something else but even cold showers don't work.
I think it's single household Sims for me for a little while after this. If you're celebrating I wish you happy holidays!
Edit: Happy birthday!!🎁
@simsplayer818Good to know they will try to fix it, I have been playing Sims for years and this bug is very uncomfortable to me. The solution for now is to hide the romantic menu and watch them close, just in case. I would like the game to give us the possibility, to hide romantic interactions, I think it would be easy for them. And yes, I'm celebrating my birthday today and also Christmas after midnight. Happy holidays to you too!
Dec, 24th: Thank you! ♥
