Need option to turn off relationship decay for all households

For rotational players and just people that don't want to worry about their sim entirely forgetting their grandchild because they haven't interacted in a few days... I am asking that an option be added to the menu to toggle off all relationship decay. A feature like this exists in MCCC and is vital for rotational players. Console players should get access to it as well. Rotational play on console is early impossible because of decay. This option allows sims to gain green and pink relationships with each other, but then turn decay off unless they interact negatively with each other rather than letting time whittle sims down into having amnesia and reintroducing themselves to their best friends repeatedly. 

Tldr: add a toggle option to the menu for all relationship decay to be turned off, romantic and friendly both.

    I've also found this to be really frustrating, especially when it comes to planning social events in the household calendar. Anyways.... Despite the fact that I'm using MCCC, adding a toggle option to the menu which disables friendly and romantic relationship decay would be really helpful.

  • This was one of the reasons I started using cheats on console. I add the Beloved trait to all of my Sims at the point of creation using the cheat traits.equip_trait trait_Legendary (with testingcheats true entered first which disables console achievements).

    My Sims are mostly from families that are spread out through different worlds and I find that even regular phonecalls don't help maintain relationships. Plus Lovestruck adds romantic relationship decline too. So for me it's one of the most important traits in my game. They don't even start out with high enough relationships bars when created together in CAS. So I decided it was worth disabling console achievements for my current save files to stop relationship decay.
