So gross... can I fix this

@RebeccaThurston I had such a horrid experience with NAPS I disable them for every load so they aren't active in any world in any load I have. The naps nearly destroyed one of my larger loads where I have sims in almost every world and the chaos of them was hard to fix. So they didn't visit an area of free love at any point.

I didn't even see it happen or know when it happened. I only found out when I checked the daughter's relationship panel after a date to see what sentiments they got. And there it was. Her mom was also a romantic interest ? ewwww

I've had that happen in my rotational save. A brother and sister. I do not have NAPS enabled, I got so tired of sharing is caring. So much was disappearing all the time. Any way, I just ignored the romance bar in hopes it won't affect any of my gameplay.

Hi @wahini2024 you don't need to install a mod or delete your save, just use the cheat code described here:

If you're not familiar with the cheat code, you would need to hit control-shift-c and then type:

modifyrelationship {PlayedSimFirstName} {PlayedSimLastName} {TargetSimFirstName} {TargetSimLastName} -100 LTR_Romance_Main

Put the actual names where specified (and don't include the brackets). If either of them has a double name for first or last name, put first name and last name in separate quotation marks.
You may need testingcheats on to do it as well...I am not sure about that. Been a long time since I typed these out instead of just using MCCC to do it.

I don't think that's new, @NightlyCoffee. I'm pretty sure I had seen that before this last update.

Though I thought they said they fixed how it could happen between related sims...

@mightysprite @Stormkeep I've been trying to find a way to change the relationship "stats" for two NPCs using MCCC. One called my Sim and asked if she should ask another Sim out, and I told her she should. It went well, and she called my Sim back to tell him they're in love.

I've decided that when two Sims go out on a date as a result of a Neighborhood Stories phone call and my Sim hears that it went well, the Sims who enjoyed their date should get pink bars. I can't seem to find how to do this in MCCC. I wanted to avoid using the long "modifyrelationship" cheat if I could.

I can change their "relationship bits" to make them Lovers, Soulmates, etc., but since both are "Not in World," I can't use the cheats I know about.

I wish they would!
I don't know anything about MCCC. But I wonder if EA will fix this as it does appear to be a bug and not by design.

Thanks, @Stormkeep . I hadn't thought of Summoning the Sims to the lot.

@Stormkeep Yeah I've modified this way before but the romance meter never goes away it just isn't full and in my rotational play if they had a pink meter they can "regrow" the romance when I'm not around.

I've had to save sims into gallery and bring them fresh into the game without relationships at all to avoid this a few times to prevent old flames from returning. It was wrecking marriages. But I'm trying to avoid that here if it's even possible and just remove the meter so the only meter is the green one and not remove the sim.

It's just so yucky, why is there no prevention for this.

You can try to have your Sims fight/argue. I just had a problem between two couples; one-half of which are siblings. The sister's intended decided to flirt with the brother's fiancée. Yeah, she has a ring, and they have a date. I noticed that the brother soon had the angry moodlet about the flirty spouse. Since she had flirted with someone else the evening prior, his moodlet was now set to last 12 hours. Before the two of them left the restaurant, I noticed they only had the green bar. If you can get them to argue, you may have a chance to obliterate the pink bar altogether. Perhaps, you can bring in a third party for one of them to actively flirt with and you'll achieve your goal. It's worth a try. Best of luck that is one yucky set of circumstances. :open_mouth:

This was a known problem to players way back in 2014. I'm not surprised the Sims get phone calls about it now since it has always been there but many people may not have ever seen it.

@Hoverael Just... wow. 18 incestuous is a LOT. I was so put off by one in my game that if I found 18 I'd be shattered. They need to fix this.

since that last reply i've had another case of incest and 2 more cases of sims kissing each other. Worse still is this one male sim who wants nothing to do with any other male sims, his contacts are only female and has a fiancee, and he ended up kissing another man. I can't trust this game until it's fixed. So for now i'm suspending my gameplay and once its fixed i can sort out this mess.
