Best Friends Spam Overload?

It's a simple fix, just set it so that they can't ask it until their friend bar is above a certain level, and voilá, problem solved. I've no idea why they haven't already when they implemented the feature.

My issues with this and the prom invites and the crushes and the bf/gf request is the frequency and that it never seems to read the game properly.

I like these features, but it is a case that you say hi to a sim and suddenly they blast you.

I had a sim that barely knew my sim ask to become BFF which I accepted then next day she called and said she wanted to move in with my sim since they were BFF. No way, Jose!

@LeGardePourpre I'll try that NPC Autonomy Relationship unchecked and see itf that makes a difference.

Because now in addition to BFF spam requests, my Sims are getting spammed with marriage proposal requests...for crying out loud!!!

I did find a cheat code to undo the "Dejected from Rejection" sentiment, but can't find it for "Creeped Out" or "Needs Space".

Here it is for "Dejected". The first name is the one with the sentiment, then second the one who caused it.

Here's a link with most of the sentiment codes. But some are missing from this site.

@JustinB113 And yes I'm starting to see that's a problem with the Prom thing too for Teen Sims. :# :(

@Smellincoffee Accepting a BFF request then cancelling it later is one thing, but what are my Sims supposed to do now? Accept every marriage proposal then get divorced right after? :D

EDIT: Out of the blue, not even talking to Ace (Not in a conversation), Miwa proposed marriage then appeared on the map after. I hit Esc when the message popped up, but that made it a rejection I guess. Then two more proposals by women at Geek Con Festival after that and one by a gay man, lol! :D

Then two more best friends requests after saying hello to random people..... :#
(Where's the crazy erratic smiley on these forums? Heh heh!)

Ok this is starting to look like a bug to me. Had one Sim in 3 consecutive pop-ups ask to be BFF, then Boyfriend/Girlfriend, then proposed marriage.

Awhile later, while on a date with another Sim, a different Sim that I know is already married, came up and wanted to be BF/GF, then after starting the date with someone else, that Sim proposed marriage. I just accepted to see what would happen.

What happened is, that Sim gave a hug, the date with the other Sim ended in 'bronze' instantly and the sim that proposed marriage became an 'unknown' un-met Sim. Clicking on the Sim that I accepted the instant marriage proposal had the options for 'introductions'. So I did a friendly introduction and the green bar appeared as if meeting that person for the first time. I did check before that in the relations and that sim was completely gone until I initiated an introduction.

@Admiral8Q I don’t know if you use mods at all, but UI cheats allows you to right click a sentiment and shorten the duration or outright remove it instantly. I’m personally just dealing with these annoying requests now using a combo of UI cheats and MCCC (to repair relationships).

Because this is really looking looking like a bug, I'm up for that mod that can erase a sentiment. You can post the link here and description. So others who want to use it can see. Or send me a PM. :)

If accepting all these BFF's, GF/BF's, and Marriage Proposals is messing things up, I' rather say "NO", take the sentiment hit then remove it. Rather than have the complete relation reset because of a bug. To me this is what mods are for. When a game that is supposed to be fun messes up, someone or some people make a way to fix an annoying bug. B)

A "Mod" that does this basically takes the 'cheat' codes and puts them into a program application (App for short) instead of having to manually have to type in the codes all the time to fix something.

This is annoying me, plus, that job center call thing every day is driving me up a wall too.

The first time this happened it was with a couple that had a high friendship bar and a medium romance bar, and I thought it was so special. Now it has become a total annoyance because it happens with every Sim mine meet. Even ones they dislike or are already married to another Sim. In my mind, that is a bug. I don't own HSY so why are my Sims getting this 'Let's be BFFs, or 'Can I move in' every time they leave the house and meet someone new? It's crazy!!

I still haven’t been asked to be anyones BFF yet. But I am being asked by everyone I have a good conversation with if they can move in with me. And I just noticed the bad sentiment when I say no. More than that, apparently my Sim gets a sad moodlet that says he’s feeling bad from being around someone he turned down or something like that.

I was even playing a household that already has 8 sims so I’m kinda curious what would happen if I say yes the next time my Sim is asked since the household is full.

Without a mod that allows more than 8 Sims in a household (including animals) any more would 'cull' (delete) the oldest Sim(s).

Sheesh! Does the game at least warn you first??

Nope!

I don't understand the meaning behind those two socials. Why do our Sims need a hundred best friends? Is this part of the new compatibility feature? Is that why it is stomping all over the other social interactions? And the moving in thing that pops up out of nowhere should be saved for close friends and romantic partners. ONLY. Not some rando my Sim met, then briefly chatted with for about five Sim minutes. Per usual, new features trump everything else and we end up with social interactions that make no sense. And are, frankly, a huge annoyance. These randos are also entering my Sims homes without waiting to be invited in. It's like IL all over again with Sims traipsing around as if they own the place, walking in and taking over computers, TVs, raiding the fridge, then having the nerve to ask to move in. Usually while their spouse is sitting right there in the same room. All my lots are once again fenced in, and the gates are locked. Why can't we just take our time learning about the new features without having them thrown in our face every five minutes? I'm already growing a bit tired of fending off the persistent random Sims that want to be BFFs or move in every time my Sims leave their homes. It. Is. Creepy.
