Re: [OPEN] [HSY] Romantic Relationships with all Sims/ Disregards orientation

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? 

English
How often does the bug occur? 

100% of the time with 33-75% of the Sims' friends, typically takes 5-8 sims days to start
What is your current game version number? 

Version 1.90.358.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? 

All Expansions, game packs, and stuff packs plus all the kits with build/buy items
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 

Teen with a bunch of friends on social tummy (including teens and adults)
What happens when the bug occurs? 

Like previously stated in the post, My Teens are getting random romantic relationships with random people on their Social Bunny list, even though I ignored all of their romantic messages and never had any player directed or autonomous romantic actions, but several random teens and a couple married (not to each other) adults and one random young adult. 

What I wanted to add in addition is that in all three saves for testing this, majority of the romantic relationships didn't follow my Sims' defined sexual orientation. I had one gay male teen, one lesbian female teen. and one heterosexual female teen, doubled checked and made sure I did the correct setting for it in CAS, and all of them had multiple romantic partners that was opposite of what their sexual orientations stated, even though I ignored all of their romantic messages on social bunny and never had any player directed or autonomous romantic actions. Also in one save, even though the teen told their friend "Ask to just be friends" a couple days later the sim tagged the sim in a romantic post and a few Sim hours later when I got the "You had a lot to post about today notification" they had a small romantic relationship again and they hasn't even interacted with them that specific day


What do you expect to see? 

If I ignore random romantic messages to not have a romantic relationship with said sims, and to not get random romantic relationships not following the Sims' sexual orientation. I don't mind the romantic messages from opposite sexual orientation, from the same age group, as long as my sim doesn't get a romantic relationship

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?

Save one had mods that were compatible with the patch (none that affected sims relationships in anyway), I removed them and repaired the game, then after that the random relationships started happening. Saves 2 and 3 were after I complete removed the Sims 4 folder and regenerated it and there have never been mods 

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? 

Happened after the HSY was installed

    @Alizatina aaahh social tummy!! that's the cutest typo I've ever seen! :D :3 Anyways this is pretty annoying that sims become besties on Social bunny with a bunch of randos from school they've only ever talked to once.

    A suggested fix: maybe rework this so that sims will only gain any type of relationship if they post or react to others' posts on Social bunny only if directed by the player? If there has to be an autonomous part, make it a lot less frequent/probable and remove the romance gain/loss altogether for autonomous reactions by other sims.
