Getting rid of those autonomous relationships forming across my neighborhood.

That's what I'm thinking to. Anywhere that I'd seen new Sims talk together in the background, I found either no relationship at all (culled? not sure - but not strong enough to not be culled, anyway) or a tiny one. Meanwhile, my Sims were making these great "relationships" with NPCs I'd never seen, new ones!

If you try anything and need a tester, I'm happy to help! At least after then next week and a half is over. (Forcing myself to end my lunch break now :/ )
