My sim's romantic interest is calling to go out on a date with another

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.60
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats & Dogs expansion, City Living expansion, Cottage Living expansion, Discover University expansion, Eco Lifestyle expansion, Get Famous expansion, Get to Work expansion, Get Together expansion, Island Living expansion, Seasons expansion, Snowy Escape expansion, Dine Out game pack, Dream Home Decorator game pack, Jungle Adventure game pack, My Wedding Stories game pack, Outdoor Retreat game pack, Parenthood game pack, Realm of Magic game pack, Spa Day game pack, Vampires game pack, Werewolves game pack, Bowling Night stuff pack, Kids Room stuff pack, Laundry day stuff pack, Movie Hangout stuff pack, Nifty Knitting stuff pack, Romantic Garden stuff pack, Spooky stuff pack, Tiny Living stuff pack, Toddler stuff pack, Vintage Glamour stuff pack, and Blooming Rooms kit.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By having the sim you are playing with have some romance with a townie and having that townie call and ask if they should go out on a date with another sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? I either have the option to say I think you should go for it, I'm not sure, or I don't think that's a good idea.
What do you expect to see? The townie that my sim has romance with (no official relationship) should not be calling to go on other dates.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

‌

The relationship with the townie is close to half the full romance you can have.

I just had my sims fiancé calling him if he should go on a date with another sim, becaus he thinks he is kind of cute.....
Really?? i have had it with these phone calls. This is not even the worse part. I have friends calling asking if they should go on a date with their sibling, nephew or niece, cousin etc. It really makes me sick. This isn't normal and I don't know what kind of sick people came up with this idea to throw this in the game, but I don't want this. I don't get invitations to dance parrties, birthdays or hang outs with clubmembers anymore, just the sickmaking calls about dating their own Family members. Is there any way to disable these phone calls about dating?

Calling about your family members is a bug.

As to whether you can disable them or not, that depends on whether you’re willing and able to use mods. Bienchen has a mod disabling or just fixing them (no calling toddlers to ask if you should date your first cousin, no calling your boyfriend to say you found a ring in his bag), depending on the version you choose.

I just went on a date with another Sim and they committed to be in a relationship and as soon as my Sim got home the call came if he should ask someone else out.... This happened to me before and it bothers me so much! Please fix this bug!

My Sim's boyfriend (who has the loyalty trait) calls and asks advice about dating a random townie. If this isn't a bug then I want my money back! Lol
