[LD] Excessive autonomous 'Speak dead language'/Relationship deteriorating

I wanted to add to the existing thread, but it's been locked for new comments. So here you go.... This is STILL a problem. Sims are Speaking a Dead language excessively and negatively impacting relationships.

I went into my sim's likes and dislikes and checked thanatology for dislikes in hopes that would STOP her from autonomously using that skill ALL THE TIME. No, she's still trying to spam it. And you cannot click to cancel once they start. You have to reset that sim asap.

I don't want to have to babysit my reaper or mortician nonstop like that :-/ Can we please have some way to disable it or can you please just stop having sims do it autonomously altogether? My sim isn't even macabre. There's no reason to be spamming this.

I'm assuming this is a bug because this cannot be on purpose. Not with the constant failures and huge relationship impacts (much less trying to spam it on every sim at the spice festival)

Hi all,

This issue has been determined to be functioning as designed currently.

Please feel free to provide your feedback here if you feel we should revisit this design choice.

Maybe it is just me but it sure seems like nobody is listening to us. I have quit playing my family because it is just too tedious to be constantly frustrated and put out by this "functioning by design" but no purpose I can find nonsense. The only thing this determination has done is to reinforce my decision not to spend any more money on this game until the content I already own functions properly and the game is more fun than frustrating. I mean, that is rather the point of "a game" is it not? And apparently they are not even going to have the decency to tell me how to remove the thanatology skill from my sims so they are playable again. I'm not going to mess up my clean game install by using a mod to do it so I am just borked I guess.

I have the same issue too and my sims constantly do 'Speak dead Language' which really needs to be adjusted and also toned down because it's too much that it gets festering and hurt sentiments.
EA please fix this

When is this likely to get fixed as it's been months now it's been like this ever since Life & Death came out it's not fair on us that our sims suffer with negative sentiments like 'Hurt' and 'Festering Grudge'. Can't you see a lot of people here are angry that this is not fixed a lot of them are waiting for it but I guess it could probably be fixed in about 50 years time (I am being sarcastic) but still i really think it should be fixed ASAP.

HeartySimsX - sucks that you're still experiencing this. I'm on Mac and can say it hasn't been as excessive for me. The negative moodlets seem to only appear now when used of my sims free will, and around those who aren't skilled in the trait.
Update, it's actually still excessive 🫠

Before they can fix it, they have to agree that something needs to be done. And as it stands, read above solution in green, it is determined to be functioning as they planned it to, and there is nothing that needs fixing.
