Dating sims labeled as acquaintances

My two sims just entered a relationship together but when you go to their social bar it refers to them as acquaintances and it has done this during the majority of their intercourse. I've repaired the game, I reset my sims, exited and came back, even left it  alone for the rest of the day but when i came to check on it today I found nothing changed. When you go to the sims panel that shows you all their friends, family, etc and click on where you can see all that they know about each other and stuff it confirms that they are partners so this made me think this was just a visual glitch and didn't actually affect the game. I'm starting to doubt that though because the game had my sim receive a call from their supposed partner asking if they should go on a date with some random sim.

The game is the Sims 4 and no mods have been installed

  • Mmrpoppins​ How far along are the friendship and romance bars?  It sounds like the friendship bar is not full.  You need to do friendly socials to get the bar further along.

    Hope this helps.

    Both are full :(  they even have the options to be bestfriends and get engaged.

  • Mmrpoppins​ Huh?  Ok, something is off somewhere then.  If the friendship bar is completely green, they should show as friends at least.  So, you can force a change to that by making them BFFs or fiancés.  You could also make them partners if they are not already.  You might also check some other sims to see if their relationships are showing correctly to determine if it's just this couple or all couples.  Relationships generally go from acquaintance to friend at about halfway on the friendship bar.

    Hope this helps.

    That doesn't matter. The issue is that the relationship doesn't advance beyond acquaintance. Yours looks more like a stuck relationship bit though as they are also partners.

    I would just ignore it for now but keep a backup of your save in case things go south.
