'They already have a partner' call when they don't have a partner

 

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Almost always (90%)
What is your current game version number? Version 1.84.1.71.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, Get to Work, Laundry Day, Parenthood, and Seasons
Steps: Have your sim do the 'Hook up with...' interaction with someone that isn't in a romantic relationship, and choose a sim that also isn't in a romantic relationship. If they say something like 'they sound pretty cool' then just wait for the call, if not repeat the process. 
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim gets a call saying that them (the sim that the hook up with... interaction was done with) and the sim (who they were told to hook up with ) are officially dating, Then a few seconds later they get a totally opposite call saying 'Did you know they already have a partner? That information would have been helpful to mention', and my sim gets a embarrassed moodlet. The thing is that sim (The one that the person was told to hook up with) was not in a relationship. 

What do you expect to see? If the sim doesn't have a partner for it to just display the first message. If they do display the second message. 
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

    I've noticed this problem too. Seems to happen when the sim doesn't live alone, like, maybe the game mistakes any sort of roommate for a romantic partner ☹️

    Actually, it happens even when they live alone. I strongly suspect that the said relationship is literally the one they just got into with the sim you hooked them up with. Because it literally happened to me every single time I tried to hook up two sims. My sim gets a call from the first one announcing they got into a relationship with the second sim. Then the second sims calls that the first sim is already in a relationship. So I assume the game tags sim A as in a relationship with the first call and then it tries to tag sim B, but sim A is tagged as taken and the game somehow doesn't realize they are with sim B? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I usually cheat the angry sentiments and embarrassed moodlets away and then jump over to one of the other sims and hook them up through normal interactions.

    I had this happen recently, tried to hook up Salim Benali and the creature keeper and as I have not played through the cottage living stories I assumed he might be marked as "in a relationship" because something was meant to happen. But I'm pretty sure I tried it on other occasions and it still did not work, I even temporarily added the Sims to my household to inspect their relationships and there was nothing (they were neither in a realtionship with each other nor with anybody else). A save file in which it happened at any point works?
