In multiple saves/households, I had sims with secret lovers, and when any sim dies in the household, EACH secret lover suddenly converted to a regular partner for all other sims in the household (inc...

Hello, crinrict thank you for getting back to me. Hm... Do you mean if a sim died during gameplay and this bug happened? If so, I don't recall. I don't think so. The first instance of this bug happening, my sim was the lone sim in the household.
I'll make several tests later when I return home from work and get back to you.
Just wondering if it's the same as the thread I linked.
Maybe it's even if just any Sim in the family tree dies ?
Hello, I went in my game and did some testing. YES, it seems that it is related. The sim does not even have to be in the family tree.
I was able to make a clean reproduction in both modded and unmodded games, using a different save file.
I first added the NPC "Freya" into the family and used cheats to kill her. The Secret Lover relationship turns into Partners once Grim completes the death and the urn appears.
I recreated the death without adding Freya to the family. She died as an unrelated townie, and the same glitch occurred. Secret Lover turned into partner.
So, yes, this bug can happen even if the deceased sim is completely unrelated to both lovers, not part of the active household; is simply a random townie.
The game seems to refresh relationship data upon a Sims' death and Secret Lover is incorrectly rebuilt as Partner.
The only thing I didn't get to test is if this bug occurs if my sims has witnessed it or not. But when I first encountered the bug, there was no death being witnessed. I can try to recreate that too, if that would help. I guess I'll make him stand very very far so he does not "witness" it.
PS. The Spouse turning into partners happens to me too, when I enter CAS. HOWEVER, entering CAS does not turn Secret Lovers into Partners in this game file. I could not recreate that bug with Secret Lovers, it only happened with Spouses, at least in this game file.
