“Hook up with…” not working right?
Today I was playing with a single sim named Orion. He’s in the science career and is pretty good friends with his coworker, Hiroko. He has some other good friends outside of work and I thought it woul...

I haven’t tried out the feature after the update with neighborhood stories yet. I had planned to, to see if it had been improved but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I have, however, tried it out 2 or 3 times in some other saves. The first time with two sims I really wanted to set up, but not play. First my sim got a text saying they were now together and so happy. I was thrilled as I thought everything had gone according to plan, but somewhere around 3-5 sim days later my sim got another text informing her that they were no longer together. Now I can’t remember if the reason given was the same as the one you received or if it was something along the lines of it just not working out, but I know that I’ve seen the one you got as well. If the message my sim got in this case was that one where one of them was apparently already in a relationship, then I can say for sure it’s just randomly generated, because these two sims that I wanted to set up came from CAS and were not generated by the game so neither had any preexisting relationships. However, I’m not sure if this was the reply in this case, but as mentioned above I know I’ve seen that reply once as well, I‘m just wracking my brain trying to remember if it was in this instance or if it was when I tried to hook someone up again. Either way it didn’t work out in that case either.
My last attempt was when I did the free trial on Eco Lifestyle. My sim tried to hook up Knox with a friend at the Romance Festival. They declared that they were so in love and were sitting down very close to each other on one of the benches. Can’t remember if they also kissed. However, the next day when my sim asked one of them about the other, both claimed to not know who the other one was ?
What I’m getting at is that my impression is that the game doesn’t seem to let these set ups last - although my experience has, of course, been rather limited and I don’t know if anyone else has had more luck with this option. I had hoped that the introduction of neighborhood stories would have made the outcome of asking other sims to hook up stick better, but I’m not sure it has. As I said, I haven’t tried out this feature yet after the update, but pretty much every time someone has called my sim to ask if they should get to know or hang out with some other sim, I’ve been having my sim say yes, because I want all these other sims to know each other, but so far about 3 simdays after they’ve called back to say what a great time they’ve had with so and so whenever my sim has asked either one about the otter, they claim to have never met. So to me it looks like relationships of unplayed sims decay much too fast or simply don’t stick at all.
