Character Interaction Problems

I have recently purchased the sims 4 and when I am trying to get my characters to interact, the options never progress past 'get to know' or 'tell a joke'. Even when I create a new household and make characters spouses this is still the case. I have made sure the game is updated but I don't know how to solve the problem

    @HelenaKB99, Well, since your problem is not a Mac issue, and isn't a Mods or CC issue, then please bear with me as I ask you a few more questions?

    1) You mention that your Sims can "Tell a joke" and "Get to know".  Are these the only interactions that come up?.  

    2) What are the Personalities of your Sims?🤔 Do Sims with different personalities have any different interactions? (Sims with the Creative Personality will have options like Discuss New Idea, and Geek Sims will sometimes have options like "Debate best Captains", while Family Oriented Sims will have the option to "Boast about Family" .

    3)What mood are your Sims currently in?  Depending on their mood, there will be more options available.  So, more Romance options will appear if they are in a Flirty Mood, and more Mischievous options will appear if they are in a mischievous mood.  Mood is everything in The Sims 4! 🤨🙂

    To see if your Sims just need to be in a certain mood to have more interactions, you can do some activities that can change their moods.  If they paint or play music they might become inspired, if they watch the Comedy Channel they might be in a comic mood , if they exercise they might get in an energized mood, and if they "Troll the forums" on the computer they might get in a mischievous mood. ect. 

    Please update us! 😇

    Note: Edited to add tag for OP.

    @HelenaKB99, Have you tried clicking on the "More Options" button in your interaction menu when you are conversing with another Sim? 🤔  Another thing that might help is if you can include a screenshot of your interaction menu.  That way we can see what you are seeing (and not seeing!) . 😉
