I created a new save to try out the latest PC 1.108.355 update and when ever I attempt “Hide Relationship” on random sims from the relationship panel they reappear after a couple in-game hours. I only have base game installed and have no mods or scripts that could be conflicting with this new feature. 

Edit: Sim appear randomly in relationship panel after a couple in-game hours even when player’s sim does NOT interact with the “Hidden” Sim.

  • @chancllas Do you mean you have no mods/cc at all or just none that may conflict obviously ?

    If it's the first, please remove ALL your mods/cc and test without. Also make sure to delete the localthumbcache file.

    Just want to add to this, but this happens for me too. My sims panel is filled with almost empty relationship bars, so i wanted to clear them out (happens when running a retail store). I spent ages hiding all the relationships, but they all pop back into existence later on (not from interacting, just comes back in one go). I think its after saving the game and coming back, its like the hide relationship resets its settings after reloading the save.

    This feature is SO needed, but so not working right now.
