The Insulting or "Mean Bug" as its being called truly makes the game unplayable.
As someone else already mentioned, they're planning on releasing a patch to address it soon, in the meantime, if you're on PC, you can Mod it until they fix it. BossLadyTV on Curseforge has a mod which address "the mean bug" ... it isn't perfect. As in, if your Sims aren't DEEPLY in love or BEST friends, they'll still have a random mean interaction. BUT.. ITS NOTHING like it was.
I can actually play with my game now. Hopefully you're on PC, and you can download this Mod, and then you can play again too.
..... if not, hang in there! A patch is coming... any day now....
