Re: Constant redoing introductions, celebrity issue?

@wahini2024 

Fame doesn't cause relationships to disappear.  I have not seen it in my game and I have between 20 and 30 played 5 star celebrities.  But there is something else that could be doing it that has been part of the game since the beginning.  If you don't keep in contact, relationships will slowly fade over time.  And when they reach a certain level, the relationship will get so low that it will be as if the two sims never met and you have to meet the sim again.  So that may be what you're seeing happening.

I don't play a strict rotation but I have a lot of played sims in the Played Households side of Manage Households, over 500, in my main save so I do see it happen in my game. The game does have a way built in to stop relationships from fading though.  You can have your sims work on the Friend of the World aspiration and when you have a sim complete it, you get a reward trait (I forget the name atm) that stops relationship decay for that sim so the relationships for that sim will never fade.  I work on that one early for all my sims so I don't have it happen very often.

Hope this helps.

  • Perfect,  thank you! 

    I just realized that even in rotation play (I have 9 households in this load with each one having low fluctuating celebrity rank,  artistic community)  the rotation is technically for me maybe an hour or two but in sim time that's possibly 2 years? So I could see it just fading away in what seems like no time to me but is a lot of time... to sims. Possibly why my other households start to gain weight as well? I didn't know that about the aspiration! Need a few of my sims play that one as they have jobs or activities that would be benefited by slower friendship decay.  Thank you! @CGrant56 😊😊

    You are welcome!  Btw, the name of the trait you get for completing that aspiration is Beloved.

    @wahini2024 This helped me out a lot when my sims started putting on weight and if their friendship started fading, I went to all my sims houses after I finished building treadmill gym that was only one level gym so they would all see each other and talk, it work perfectly and I often encouraged other sims to work out after clicking on them.
