Relationship Status Stuck

Hi there!

I don't use mods.

I asked to just be friends, but this guy is still showing up as "Lovers."

Edit:

To spare anyone some very long reads, a work around is suggested in this thread that seems to be one's best bet for this bug. The bug itself is said to be pretty common. So until it's corrected, we can cheat our way around it. The relationship with the Sim has to be deleted. Then you can decide if you want your Sim to greet the other Sim for the "first time" again and work the relationship to the status you want, or you can cheat the relationship. I had to google that too. Cheating the relationship bars up and down didn't change the status icon or text without first deleting the relationship.

1.) There is a cheat command for deleting relationships; I wasn't able to get it to work for me, but that is my life story. It was pretty easy to google, though.

2.) There is a set of mod files called MCCC that puts a bunch of cheats in a clickable menu form in game. You click your own Sim or other Sims, various objects etc and the menu button becomes visible along with your usual menu options. I googled "MCCC Sims 4" without quotes, and found the most official looking link I could for it. It threw me off at first because I thought it was a mod for adding Deadpool to your game; but it isn't. That's just the name of the site or something. LOL They have a super helpful support Discord too, and MCCC looks like it can do a lot of really cool things once a person is able to figure out what everything means. Deleting relationships was easy for me, and that's saying a lot because this stuff is usually Greek to me.

Things I have tried so far to fix it:

-- I made a bunch of awkward romantic advances to make the romantic bar go red

-- I went to an earlier save, before asking to be friends, asked again

-- I looked up cheats on editing relationship status and tried the following, but I am not sure the person typing out how to do it typed it all accurately as it didn't do anything at all:

-testingcheats on
-CAS.fulleditmode
-Shift-clicked on my sim, edited his name to something else. pressed accept
-Now they got working ID's
-typed in the relationship.destroy to reset all of their relationships one by one

My played Sim is doing University right now. Perhaps the cheat only works when you have both Sims in the same household. I am fine to go ahead and work toward graduation so I can move them in together then do the cheat. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • I edited work around ideas into the original post to make it easier to find them if anyone else encounters this bug. MCCC is working like a charm for me. I am so relieved and excited. I have loved this game very much ever since trying Sims2. This bug really bummed me out when I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. A work around makes me so happy. Thanks again, all.
