@InfiniteVerve My sim has been attacked her spouse many times. She doesn’t flirt with other men. Just her spouse.
Yesterday, he got mad and cooled down. What happened next was very disturbing. That night they were woohooing. He became angry again. He started to beat her in bed.

This just happened to my sim for the first time, i am horrified.
It's a great franchise for equality, LGBTQ+, diversity in neighbourhoods etc and i love that.
It doesn't really fit with domestic or street violence. My female sim was attacked randomly by a male townie outside her windenberg lot.
There are a couple of things that could cause this that I can think of:
1. The "Neighborhood Brawl" holiday.
2. The "Roughhousing Encouraged" Neighborhood Action Plan.
If you have Eco Lifestyle and it's not the Neighborhood Brawl holiday, you might have that NAP active. If you have testing cheats enabled you can cheat to remove it by shift-clicking the mailbox. If you don't, you can get it repealed through gameplay.

If anyone of you are still encountering this (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?
If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.
Instructions here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302- @SimGuruRitzy honestly, EA needs to just fix this. It's been too long already. More save files aren't what you need. Serious action is needed.
I am horrified by the sims in Wittenburg, a German-themed town. Having lived in Germany a third of my life, I can say for a fact this would not happen there. They would be horrified by this and tell you in no uncertain terms what you're doing wrong by allowing this.
In the last IRL three days of playing, my sim has just stopped whatever he's doing and run out to the street and attacked total strangers for no reason at all. NAP is not in effect, no club issues as I haven't wanted to deal with it.
Having heard the stories on this and other threads, it's an embarrassment your game is allowing this and everyone at EA and Maxis should be mortified their game is showing people this behavior. Since the threads about this problem go back 3.5 years at this point that I've seen, EA and Maxis are more interested in making money with more content than fixing this issue. Your game is making money off of the bully culture.
Shameful.
- @lipsticknlatte It's something they coded into the game (sadly). Mine happened well before (and after) the Eco Lifestyle pack, and without Seasons installed as well. I'd love to see it removed.
