Being accused of stealing?! (Good celebrity)

My global superstar celebrity with Pristine reputation is getting text messages from his some of his friends that they'll never invite him to their house because they heard he steals things!
Except he never stole anything, he just get things for free bcus he has that perk in the highest good reputation celebrity perks..

Is this a bug ? Or like falsely accused thing like in Sims 3 late night?
  • Does your celebrity have the stan quirk? I noticed both my celebrities were getting the same texts from family and friends. I then thought of their stans… and how they go through the trash (they went through the family's trash while my sim visited for Winterfest :/ ). Removed both of their stan quirks, and the text messages have gone :)

    It's a bug! Your Sim isn't to blame.

    Not quite sure what causes this, but it may be that any time ANY Sim notices ANY OTHER Sim try to steal something, the blame gets attributed to YOUR Sim.

    Like, I ran a restaurant.
    Any time a patron would try to, like, Steal the napkin dispenser on their table, everyone would look at them like "Oh, My!", and then later MY Sim would get a call saying that I liked to steal stuff.

    But anyways, it's not a slander system, it's just a bug.

    Oh thank you! I thought my sim was stealing things when I wasnt noticing or something..because it's weird
    I'm glad it's not like falsely accused in late night, finger crossed it's fixed in next patch..
    My poor innocent sim keep losing his reputation because of this!
