Edit the Caliente family in cas.fulleditmode to make Don and Katrina Partners. Load the lot, they appear as expected. Go back to CAS and they revert to being Household Members.What happens when the bug occurs? Relationships revert from Partners to Household Members.What do you expect to see? For relationships to stay as Partners.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, MC Command Center and UI Cheats so that I could more easily change the relationships. Bug still occurs with the mods removed.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Most noticeable with the 07/26/2024 patch because of the ability to have Partners in CAS. However, I do believe that I had trouble having romance carry over with sims in that particular household when I save them to my tray or the gallery - romance doesn't transfer. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

@AbreuRosario Did some testing and I can't get it to stick either if edit the relationship (tried household manager and cheat).There was another report I think but need to hunt it down. Will merge or move this to bugs later.

@SanriooBaby This is the main thread now. I merged the two together so you're in the right place.Just make sure to click on me too if you have this as well.

@AbreuRosario Next thing would be a Game Repair.

Having this very same issue with a custom household, whom I hadn't played with in a while. Unsure if I simply forgot to make them partners when I first created them, or if the bug affects that too.

I have 3 sims where two of them share a partner. I made them partners in CAS, but when I press play, they are not partners and have no romantic relationship at all. I am on Xbox Series S

@AbreuRosario An update that this issue is not limited to the Caliente household. It is also affecting households from other worlds/packs.

@AbreuRosario Could you please test this after removing the Mods folder and deleting localthumbcache, and test in a new save?

@luthienrising thank you for your response and your time! I removed my mod folder completely, deleted the localthumbcache and started a new save. The problem still persists.
1) I entered CAS full edit mode to set Don and Katrina as partners:
2) After accepting the changes, I load the lot and they are not listed as partners:
and have no romance:
3 - When going back to Manage Households and edit Family they are reverted to "Household Member":

@AbreuRosario I'm going to move you to Game Issues. I'd suggest trying a new user folder (do the same thing with The Sims 4 as you did with Mods) and a Game Repair. You might end up in Bug Reports, eventually.

@luthienrising thanks for the follow up. Tried with removing the "The Sims" folder from Documents>Electronic Arts and the same problem persists.
