[RL] Secret Lovers automatically become Partners when a sim dies

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 (including the dead one if you choose to be a playable ghost). It kind of ruins the drama in my opinion. This happened whether the sim with the secret lovers was the one who died, or if it was another household member.  It also happens when a sim dies on another lot from where the sim with secret lovers is. Bug happens with and without MCCC mod enabled.

  • So i have the same issue, i move my Secret lover in the same household and when into CAS then when i back out the notification said they become partner

  • The patch is tomorrow so hopefully whatever fixes they apply to the marriage bug (where married sims turn into partners) also applies to the Secret Lovers bug... 

  • They fixed the marriage relationships with the new patch but not secret lovers and in turn, secret children 😑

    Yup. Just checked today. The bug is still there. Since the thread is still "Awaiting Additional Reports", I don't think the bug is going to be resolved anytime soon. 😭 If we're lucky, a modder will pick this up. 

  • You know what... I just went ahead and made a mod to fix this. 

    IDK if I'm allowed to share my pateron page but here it is:

  • crinrict​ Hi, can you help put this back in the bug forum where it belongs? I don't understand why this was moved to Feedback and Ideas when it's clearly a bug. Nonsensical decision from that "community manager"

    Sorry, I don't work for EA. You will need to contact a CM.

    I’m experiencing this bug without any sims dying. I’ve tried many times breaking up the couple to make them secret lovers again. It works until I exit and load the game. They keep changing from secret lovers to partners.
