[XB1] Can't get multiple soulmates/issue with mermaid/dolphin
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? FP01: 1.assets.live-fp01.92
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Disregarding Spellcaster as ts not on console yet. All EPs but Get Togerther. All GPs but Parenthood, Spa Day, and Outdoor Retreat. SPs Spooky Stuff and Cool Kitchen Stuff. Both Free Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Two bugs in one. First: Be a mermaid and call dolphin before achieving Soulmate status with a spouse and the aspiration. No interactions needed. The dolphins are being auto assigned as soulmates at the moment of being called. Second: Be mermaids, don’t call a dolphin until married and soulmates, then try calling a dolphin.
What happens when the bug occurs? First: The married couple are locked out of achieving soulmate status. Second: A phantom dolphin (invisible, and does not appear under relationships) appears. You can see it’s effect in water and hear it, but is all. No interaction beyond auto interaction between it and the sim is possible.
What do you expect to see? That dolphins don’t hijack the soulmate status and don’t disappear from game when they can’t be your soulmate.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
There is still the occasional bff and soulmate glitch that happens every now and then. (Which you can say is fixed all you want but it’s still not at least for Xbox one.) However, out of five tries with a new made couple each time it’s the same thing. The moment I call a dolphin it’s assigned as a soulmate to the sim who called it. Out of a sixth, I waited till I got the couple to soulmates and completed the aspiration. Then when I tried calling a dolphin, and got “Flisper” the friendly invisible dolphin.
