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.
EA Staff (Retired)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 ?
Anyone else seeing this still ?
Yessssz. Mine will still stop eating, get up from the table, walk over to each other and hug if I queue them to talk while sitting together at the table with food. They do not sit back down on their own but stand up chatting. So I have to queue them all over again to sit and eat. After the initial hug, they will stay seated while talking and eating, but I shouldn't have to go through all that to have a conversation at the table. Why can't they just talk without hugging??? Sheesh
I saw someone say it's intentionally done by EA because Americans hug a lot, no we do not hug before every interaction. Not accurate at all. This has to be unintended.
