hi! i've noticed that lately when my sim goes to socialize on a computer and i use the "chat with..." interaction to pick someone in particular, the relationship bar does not go up or down anymore. i liked this feature as a way to sort of check in on friends when the bar goes slightly down (from being full) due to them becoming a little distant. it would usually fill up consistently while they are chatting until i cancel the interaction. now, nothing happens whatsoever and there is no indication of who they are chatting with and how its going. i notice that the "chat with" interaction works fine on the phone, same with the video call and send text options, and the bar will go up a bit. just not on the computer.

sometimes it will go up or down when my sim uses "chat with" autonomously, though. which still sucks because i don't know who they're chatting with. definitely a random complaint but i miss using this interaction and don't know how to get it back the way it was.

any fixes??
