So my sims just arrived to a dance party. I panned over to the dance floor so I could use the "Dance Together" option to get the party started. Then I double clicked Caiden to find him, changed his outfit and then went over to Sofia where I noticed she had an embarassed moodlet while she was dancing. I changed her outfit and looked at it. And I noticed she was "Caught Cheating". At first I thought it was because they left the house flirty and she flirted with a random sim so I checked to see if Caiden had an angry moodlet. No. He didn't notice. So Then I went back to Sofia and I noticed she had an angry moodlet. SHE TRIED TO BREAK UP WITH CAIDEN! ...or so I thought. I waited a few minutes for Caiden to develop an angry moodlet but nothing. So I thought maybe there's another sim here that has a romantic relationship with Sofia. I hovered over every sim on the lot and found Morgan Fyres! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? SOFIA AND MORGAN???? When were they dating????? As NPCs are they dating? Because that's cute but they were always really mean to each other. Did they have a secret romance whilst maintaining appearances for their club? I ship it whole heartedly but what is going on with Sofia trying to autonomusly break up with Morgan???? I've figured that Sofia was caught cheating on Morgan with Caiden but 1)How did she autonomously breakup with Morgan??? (Yes I have full autonomy on but uninstalled MCCC awhile ago so they can't woohoo autonomously but they can flirt)2)Can break up attempts fail???3)Has anyone ever seen this before?????? Here's Sofia's Embarassed moodlethttps://i.imgur.com/zaA6FMj.pngHere is her angry moodlethttps://i.imgur.com/0vhFpPo.pngHere is Sofia's relationship to Caiden Marlow, her husband.https://i.imgur.com/5vVyQ3T.pngHere is Sofia's relationship with Morgan Fyres who is married to another sim (Antoine Flyers)https://i.imgur.com/4TxkOD1.png

That’s a really odd description on the failed breakup moodlet. More friendship in order to break up?

Makes even less sense considering Sofia and Morgan's frienship is practically nil and their relationship is in the awkward stage. It should of been easy to break it off. Unless it is seen from another point of view, because the relationship is already in a negative, it requires the relationship to increase into the positive so it can be broken? But then what would be the point in repairing the relationship to sabotage it again? When people don't like each other and things go bad, that should be the end of it, assuming no heavy objects and shouting is thrown around!

Caught with Another and Risible Rejection both can be found in the game files. RR is triggered by a failed "Try To Break Up" which can't be performed autonomously and CwA requires having the Jealousy trait.

Maybe she asked to be just friends.. that can fail, meaning it can bring to a loss of friendship bar along with a total loss of the romance one. I never had this happen autonomously without mods though.

@chazzzy @citysimmer I used to have MCCC but uninstalled it and I never played this save with that mod installed. So in short, no mods.@annaliese39 I totally understand being a control freak, but I've been trying to use full autonomy and just watch what they do because like this incidence, it was quite honestly hilarious.@Hoverael It's possible I never noticed it. I've been playing this save for a while and definitely when I first got Get Together was using the "other Sims..." suggestions frequently in it. It's possible they did start dating, but I'm sure I definitely would've kept up with that storyline if I had been successful bc it's like Romeo and Juliet.@smurfy77 I know I've just never seen this before.All in all, this is very very very weird but entirely hilarious. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this. Wondering if maybe it's a bug in a recent update?

Can Sims autonomously break up???

Is it possible you hadn't noticed the relationship first in the relationships window for Sofia before the clubbing? Or did this just happen in the club on short notice, and if so, did it happen to your character as well after the clubbing with Luna Villareal and the one in the green and black?

I'm more often a control freak with my sims so I have never experienced this. I had no idea sims could refuse to breakup - how is that even possible? If someone doesn't want to be in a relationship, then that is their decision, not the other persons surely?

I know that break ups (divorcing and such) happened in Sims3. Don't think it can in Sims4! I think BOTH partners need to agree to divorce. Which is weird - since divorces DO happen in real life! I thought The Sims was supposed to be a LIFE SIMULATION...

(hint-hint!) :wink:

I know a SIM can use a chat option I think to influence a SIM to try to leave another, just like they can introduce them to other sims by talking one up, or ask them to hook up with one, that looks like the rebuff youd get from the one SIM not wanting to end it to me
